@ Enitan

Hi; trust you've been fine. Canalsat Horizons used to have an office in Lagos {VI or Ikoyi somewhere); however i can't find the details online again {seen it some time before); if I come up with anything, i'll let you know.

BTW I'm now in Lagos till just after Christmas; i should speak to an installer that I know and maybe one or two other ppl to find out what's happening with satellites in Lagos.
Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by Gangsta101(m): 2:01pm On Dec 15, 2007
Hi everyone,
got a question for u guys watching foxsoccer, my installer claims i need a 2,4m dish before i can receive it and that would mean i have to give up nilesat position, which is kinda mean. now i know he's wrong about the 2.4m dish but the question is can i receive both nilesat and intelsat805 ( foxsoccer) at the same time, i.e without having to use a motorized dish?
secondly, for enigma and anyone else, i really am not clear on those biss and hex keys. let me explain my problem so maybe you guys can help me out. after inputting 8282 i see a column numbered from 1 to 200 and for hex (8280), it is numbered 1 to 60. do those numbers correspond to the channel numbers? also, there are sometimes two rows, and at other time 4 rows posted online, do i just type in the entire alphanumerics i see?
please guys, i am dying for answers.

ONE LOVE

@ enigma,
i've been trying to google up d canalsal add but to no avail. But a friend of mine was saying that if i even suceeded getting d card, but d decoder am using wont support it, he's saying only a conax deencryption card can work with it.I dont know how true it is.I'm using a strong decoder 4652. other opinions are also welcome.

hi @ all the experts in thehouse,

i really enjoyed my FTA stuff today, cos i just finished watching man utd vs liverpool some few hours ago. The match was broadcasted live on RDV a senegal-based tv station. This is my first time of watching such premiership live match on that station without it being scrambled, but what baffle me most is the station itself joined an arabic station i guess by the name showsports 1, and an arabic language was written under the english name, but dat one no concern me sha, i watched the match from start to finish without any scrambling on the way.

I guess i'm getting to love it now, cos i only liked it before. The station (RDV) will even be showing arsenal/tottenham match next saturday at 1345hrs.


Enigma,
how you dey now.

badaru1,
i no 4get u also. how your end na?
Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by Gangsta101(m): 7:27pm On Dec 16, 2007
Enitan
lucky you, couldn't take any chances with the matches today, so i had to go to town to watch them, cos my experience with RDV is that the always code up on me right after i sit down to enjoy a game.
it the la liga matches on jsc +1 and +2 that i really wish i could get access to.
anyway guys, still waiting on feedback on that foxsoccer stuff, tried it on my own yesterday but couldnt get any signal, wonder if it was the LNB i was using, so i want to hear from u guys first before deciding whether to buy a new one.

@ jujukemist,tushman,enigma,butoneday and badaru
something happened to me this weekend,a client of mine bought a 2.6m constructed dish at kaduna and i went to install nilesat for him which i tried to no avail i was only getting one frequency 107---/27500 ie.the 1st nilesat frequency in strong decoder the signal quality was around 67% but i couldnt get others,when i tried with fuji lnb it was all the same infact the former pauxi lnb performed more than fuji cos i opened the bottonm completely.
my quest is ,is it because the pan is locally constructed or as i think its not deep enough cos we get nilesat with 2.4m dish now theres dry season in the north though it still rain here.
Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by bodejohn(m): 8:34pm On Dec 17, 2007

Possible scenarios: The Dish was not properly constructed well.He should have pass thru the professionals here in Kaduna. We would have test run it here before taking it to PH.
The position of the dish in PH, is it obstructed,is it in a valley,or a place where signals is being absorped or distorted.

@pitodenz

Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by Gangsta101(m): 5:54pm On Dec 18, 2007
are you also on nss7? if so how have you being enjoying it?
Enitan
yeah, i'm receiving nss7, and it's cool, i'm actually enjoying it more than the nilesat which made me buy the whole set up in the first place.

Gofitech,
are you getting your nilesat and foxsoccer using the same dish, if yes , is it motorized or stationary?
Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by pitodenz(m): 6:23pm On Dec 18, 2007
@ all
plz some of us shld uptade their profile so that we no ur location without asking its very important.
@ gofitech
all lnb 's re sealed for water protection u ca forced the rubber bottom open with a screw driver,knive u can even cut the bottom,when u open it u ll receive more signal strength.
@ jujukemist
i think the pan is not deep enough for here though it ll work in north for sure.
@ enitan

Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by Enigma(m): 8:06pm On Dec 18, 2007
@enitan

Sorry about late replies; busy with 'runs' during my short stay in Nigeria. Are you using a Strong receiver; if so, I believe that the Strong receivers in Naija do Conax (MyTV & HiTV) and Irdeto (DSTV) encryptions. However, I believe that Canalsat uses Seca/Mediaguard and I don't think the Strong receiver does that. So in a 'wrong' way your friend is probably correct.

@Pitodenz

Sorry, I don't know the type of dish; also, I am more knowledgeable about installing dishes up to 1.2 metres; all those 2.4 things, I really don't know. As jujukemist suggested, check that there is no obstruction to line of sight; check elevation angle ---- for elevation angle you can use www.dishpointer.com; type in your location (e.g. Portharcourt, Nigeria) and the satellite i.e. Nilesat, and it will tell you what elevation angle to set the dish; obviously check LNB working well, cabling etc. Also when trying for Nilesat some of the best transponders for signal (in Port Harcourt) are likely to be those on the Middle East beam such as 11766H 27500; 11747V 27500; 10758V 27500; 11804H 27500 etc. Good luck.
Re: Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1) by badaru1(m): 8:15pm On Dec 18, 2007
@Pitodenz

The kind of dish you are using alwAYS HAS problem of the hands. if the hands are bent or the dish is not well assembled it wont give u good signal. So check d hands again and loose and re assemble the dish again.

i think canalsat astra 19 has been hacked. but like showtime keys the key column is longer than our strong decoder column.
@ enitan i think we can try the keys on our own nss7ku ,nothing wrong with trying.
