[ruffcast]

Just out of curiosity, on which FTA channel did you guys watch Yesterdays Real Madrid's big win:smile-big:

it was available on ETV feeds on Astra 4A 12733Mhz.

 

[ruffcast]

Just received my activated OVHD receiver.. so now happily enjoying watching SABC 1,2,3 , ETV HD,E-africa,e-movies,e-kasi etc for free.

The downside to this receiver as someone already pointed out is that it doesnt allow tuning in to other channels apart from the OVHD channels.other thing you cant use Diseq.

So I now have so cables running from a dual samson lnb ; one to my diseq switch and another directly to the new OVHD receiver.

One LNB or more than one? Which is the prime LNB? Photo of your set-up? Frequencies/Tps? Yap bro just LNB (SUPERMAX PF LNB,8FT & 4950H)

You have actually struck a middle ground between Intelsat 906 at 64.2°E and Intelsat 902 at 62.0°E.
So you have compromised on signal strengths.


Meanwhile my 3 in one satellite setup made up of

-> Eutelsat 7 West A,( FOX movies,FOX,Bein Sports)
-> Eutelsat 8 West A (MBC 1,2,3,4,JSC America)
-> Nilesat 201 ( CNN,MTV,BBC,EuroNews,CCTV,

still works very well in good weather.

Good Afternoon hotbird,


On Strong 4950H receiver you get the SID code of biss coded channel in a different way.

Lets say we are looking for the SID code of IRIB VARZESH.

Select the coded channels which will be blank as it is scrambled>>>

On your remote select menu and go to CHANNEL MANAGER tab and select EDIT CHANNEL>>>>

Select the coded channel and note down the details displayed on the right>>>>>>

Details required include frequency, SR (symbolic rate) and SID code.

For IRIB VARZESH Frequency 3964 & 30000
SID code 0075

With the said values, Select ANTENNA SETTINGS, scroll down to the PATCH MENU

The activation patch code for Srt 4950H is F1 6969.

Enter Patch Menu and select Manuel Key>>>

Select the Biss table and press the gree button on your remote to add new biss key.

Select the line under Key with the 12 zero.

Eg enter 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 >>>

On the side of the screen you will note letters running down till OK.

Select OK to save biss key.

Next step, Press F1 to edit frequency plus SID code of the biss key you have entered>>>

The values we had noted ealier are frequency 3964 SR 30000 and SID 0075

Enter the said values as displayed below.

Frequency SID
03964 30000 0075

Pongezi jomba, niliona hapo kwako uko na dishi 130 cm angle ya 52.5e je unapata yahsat vizuri coz mimi sa hii nimejaribu lakini signal yangu ni 10% na hapo mbeleni nilikua nikipata kwa urahisi sana nijuze tafadhali dish yangu ni 120 cm.

Nashukuru, Dish ulio iona iko kwa Intelsat 20 KU napata na South African Beam. Yahsat sijajaribu kwa sababu ya mvua hata leo asubuhi nimepanda juu nakila kitu lakini bahati mbaya mvua imenifukuza. Tafazali ni pm namba yako ya simu nataka kukuuliza suali. Wakaribishwa nyumbani tupate kubadilishana maarifa. Shukran.

[hotbird]

Hi KUNG'U 1,i know all the process but on the SID CODE i'm getting only THREE options instead of FOUR eg NATGEO its 0006 therefore there's no space for the 4th DIGIT(000)

 

[lapsman]

hey guys i got a srt4922 but somehow jumped over settings and finished wizard without finding any channels. my dish also was in wrong direction so hunting was unfruitful. Now anytime i open the decoder i get this two screen..2nd screen comes after i press f4 on the remote. Please tell what i should do do restart the configurations or get back to the wizard screen. I cant even select menu, it just crops back the No channels screen

Good morning Kungu1, how do i get/know the SID code for TV3 on multi tv?

 

[FTA-Nash]

Ninazo dish 3 za 130 cm nime amua kuzibadlisha zote kwa kuunda clamp zangu mwenyewe, nimefanya mabadiliko kidogo kuliko ile ya kwanza, nzuri, imara, shida ya upepo (wind) hakuna tena.
Shukran.

Wow! I like your "Industrial workshop assorted tools"!
There is one particular photo labeled "made in China" versus "made in Kenya". The difference is clear!
Now we need to take the game a notch higher and fabricate our own dishes .... starting with 90Cm ... then 130Cm .... and finally 5 meter offset. Awhile back, someone suggested we can add a 30Cm metal sheet around the edges of a 'made-in-china' 130Cm dish to make it 190Cm offset. Of course we will have to lengthen the original LNB arm (and supporting arms) to match the new focal point. This arm can be made adjustable.
With all those "industrial tools", plus skilled hands and time in our hands .... Yes We Can! Cheers Man! ASAS re-loaded.

 

[FTA-Nash]

Just out of curiosity, on which FTA channel did you guys watch Yesterdays Real Madrid's big win:smile-big:

LIVE on TV Oromiyaa on Amos 5, TP 12216 V 27500, DVB-S, East-West beam

 

[FTA-Nash]

indeed. One idea would be to incorporate it into the architecture of a side structure eg a hen house. that way it would be less obstrusive.

LoL! ..."incorporate it into the architecture of a side structure eg a hen house ......".
Yeah, for such gigantic dishes, you require sufficient space in your compound; plus, maybe, permission from your 'county governor'!

Did you know that in certain countries in the west you cannot even install a 90Cm dish in your compound without written permission from your estate association? Some neighborhoods in developed countries place a total ban on dishes and prefer all to rely on cable TV! Reason being that "It will allow for the protection of neighborhood character and address a serious quality of life issue."

Read this:

Boston City Council Bans Putting Satellite Dishes on Fronts of Houses:
BOSTON, February 22, 2012 -Boston is poised to become one of the first cities in the nation to ban satellite dishes from marring neighborhoods.

Next week the Boston City Council is expected to pass a resolution, which will be signed by the Mayor that will require satellite companies to install dishes in locations that don't affect the aesthetics of a neighborhood.

It would also require them to remove unused equipment left behind by old customers.
The City Councilor, who wrote the ordinance, called the dishes a "blight" on city neighborhoods.
"All I want them to do is make every effort to place their satellite dishes anywhere but the facade of the building".

Hefty removal fees and absentee landlords have created eyesores in neighborhoods that are not protected by a historic district designation.
"It looks terrible," "It brings the whole neighborhood down," "It makes me mad.", said residents of East Boston who wish the ban to be enforced.

The association argues that the rules "violate a 1996 FCC rule that only limits the placement of satellite dishes in cases of public safety or historic preservation." Boston is following in the footsteps of Philadelphia, which already passed a similar measure.

The Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association represents satellite dish companies and is challenging the ordinance Philadelphia enacted, stating the city has no right to tell them how to get reception.

Meanwhile, we should enjoy installing all sizes of 'Big Beautiful Dishes' (BBD) before such laws catch up with us!

A very nice achievement Ruffcast, please remind us again which Satellite you are using for the OVHD bouquet, and how you obtained your activated receiver? PM me if you like, thanks.

Just received my activated OVHD receiver.. so now happily enjoying watching SABC 1,2,3 , ETV HD,E-africa,e-movies,e-kasi etc for free.

The downside to this receiver as someone already pointed out is that it doesnt allow tuning in to other channels apart from the OVHD channels.other thing you cant use Diseq.

So I now have so cables running from a dual samson lnb ; one to my diseq switch and another directly to the new OVHD receiver.

The dissappearing act of channels.
Qtv on 8W seems to have followed what the MBC mux on 7W did. There is gigantic banner there asking as to re-scan with 11111 v 27500. Iko shida

Kivipi? bure kwa dekoda ya zuku au kuna namna nyingine.
