UP UP UP about 5 Inches UP.

Thanks freq, I am praying for condusive weather. I were to try tonight to balance it with that of 7E as RankSat was advising (and report back) but flysat says that Azam package left or the signal on its frequency should still be on?

I also moved houses last week and faced the same predicament. I am now receiving half of the number of Kenyan channels that I was receiving previously despite the fact that the aerial is now located higher that my previous residence.

Sorry about this Munyaga. So much for digital migration the terrestrial option! Sometimes I wish it never happened at all since the inconsistencies in the signal is such a problem even to the big players. Try visiting the Bamba, Signet, ADN, PANG etc social media pages to see what I mean. Pity the poor souls who manage those handles since all they seem to do everyday is apologize to their clients for the downtimes.

It would have been much easier, reliable and possibly cheaper if the government decreed that all the Kenyan channels be uploaded on a single accessible bird like that at 5E to help in the migration, rather than having each of the players attempt to put up its own infrastructure (which they have failed to do well). Indeed we have a precedent in the mobile phone BTS which presently have to co-locate. The upside to such a move would be that in one fell swoop, the entire country would be covered by the footprint, and not the present case where more than 2 years after the much touted digital migration, large swathes of the country are signal-less.

And the merchants (GOtv, Startimes et. al.) haven't fared better either. My neighbors whose were on them migrated to satellite due to signal disappearance. I have confirmed this every time I rescan my fta decoder.

the last time I tried (Early March 2018) 70b this is what I got (picture). there was also ktn news & ktn, & k24 as fta.

IS 22@ 72E is ver tricky, very tricky I,ve never seen anyone here nab it. I do not think it can be a parasite on a 6ftView attachment 747227 .

Gratefully acknowledged. I now know the enormity of the task ahead, matching ambition with practicality. And the best is drawing from your experience, I need not re-invent the wheel. Thanks once more

It's okay, let's wait and see. They should borrow a leaf from the Arabic speaking nations and make that a reality for the diverse geographical features of our country really affect the terrestrial signals reach.

az$m tv didn't leave. I dont think. dont use this frequency,

use this

and target this (7e)

and this (5e)

Been getting the local kenyan channels on a terrestrial decoder but recently changed locations, and the signals seem to be playing a now-you-see-me-now-you-dont' a lot. Presently got a 90cm offset pointed at 68.5E (motivated by the fine live coverage of the just concluded Commonwealth games by Botswana's BTV - pity us Kenyans for the unholy alliance between big brother and KBC which meant we had no such luxury as it used to be; hail ASAS for the breakthrough nevertheless), but is willing to swing it to any location that offers the Kenyan mux on Ku-band . Would be glad to get the 4 major national broadcasters (CITIZEN, KTN, NTV , K24) or any three or two of them.

Noted on flysat that 70B @ 70.5E could be close to my requirements. Is it possible to combine 68.5E and 70.5E on a 90cm? Anybody there to confirm to help before I begin the long climb up the roof?

Also got a prime focus (180cm) on 68.5E, but wish to maintain it there for obvious reasons. Am thus requesting house for ideas on this (potential LNB combinations). I also don't trust lyngsat since it is quite outdated (listing channels like QTV that are pushing up the daisies). Regards to all.

E70B haina Citizen. Your best bet for this is IS-22 @72.1°E which you can get using the 180cm. Only channel missing here is NTV.

 

[RankSat]

Thanks a lot freq for the prompt feedback. Will give it a go once the weather permits. Not sure though if what flysat says about the availability of the Kenyan channels on 70.5, since the last update on the same was done in March 2016. Any forumer here to confirm the existence of Kenyan mux please.

Getting a bit more ambitious though, how practical is the 68.5E and IS 22@ 72E combination on a single 180cm both C-band LNBs? Any one with the set up presently? I have noted the latter has all the kenyan channels I need.

What you’ll get on Ku-band at E70B is the two KTNs, Kiss & some (about 7) Bamba channels, plus radio.

I have that C-band combo but on 240cm pf. Pics unavailable for now. Basically, you have to cut the feedhorn so as to accommodate the other LNB as they’re too close to one another.

No it isn’t. Apart from that one Tp that’s in multistream format as explained on page 2 of this thread, the rest of the Tps are a breeze even with 180cm, with which I previously experimented.

 

[RankSat]

Hello all, I managed to climb to the roof last night after having input 12034H27500 as my tracking TP and using that screamer toy, I got Nilesats before it rained and I retired to bed.

Now, will I be required to move the dish to face further up, down, to the sides or where so that I can nab SES5?

Up, obviously. Increase your elevation.

Which frequency?

He wants to remain at 68.5 and put 72 as a parasite on 180cm. is that breezy as well?

also Kungu was using a 240cm on that post

Good Evening Kibukila,

Am currently not on Intelsat 22 C-band.

You can get the said channels using a 2.4 meter prime focus dish plus Mpeg 4 receiver like Srt 4922.

Below snapshots taken by members of Dishworld forum based in German.
Most of the dishworld members are using a 2.3 meter prime focus dish in German to access the Kenyan DTT channels on Intelsat 22.

Keep you posted once i lock on the bird again.

Blessed Week All

Kenyan (DTT) Digital terrestrial television are [FONT=arial, sans-serif]available[/FONT] on Intelsat 22 C-Band frequency

3732 L DVB-S2 SR 30000 8psk

Snap Shots...

One would require a 2.4 meter prime focus dish to track the bird.

Happy hunting.

Thanks Ranksat for your input on this. Regarding the cut on the feedhorn, how deep should it go? Or roughly how far apart should the 68.5 (main) and 72 (parasite) lnbs be? Please let me know once you can access your set-up. Am willing to give it a go at some point.

Now I have all the 'recipe', I can't give excuses. Thanks a lot freq.
So when I receive that AzN\ frequency I can well be able to receive the 7E's that you quote and 5E?

 

[Mnyash]

SES5 please....

yes you can. it'll also depend on the strength of your lnb. A very weak lnb will require some tweaking and compromise

Mlio katikati ya mji kuna tatizo la signal au ni kwangu tu zimekata tangu jana mpaka mda huu sioni kitu

Alright, and there it will go then. Thanks RankSat.
