you cannot connect your V8 to your laptop via VGA. The VGA port on your laptop is for Video output (to monitor) not video input
you cannot connect your V8 to your laptop via VGA. The VGA port on your laptop is for Video output (to monitor) not video inputFor sure though I have a tuner combo box that I can connect with a VGA cable to my laptop, (wait, well, actually I am not sure whether it can be done!) If it cannot then I will go the portable DVD way.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention!
Actually there's a Freesat V8 that I came across in Kilimall yesterday that was going for around Ksh.5800.
It's greed for quick riches coupled with uninformed consumers.....

Prices are dropping though as Chinese produce iterations of popular brands like sat link. And Luthuli Wolves will obviously rip you off.

you could get yourself this. connects to comp via USB then to decoderI thought so too, I doubted.....though it's a combo box I were to, those Gadmei boxes that connected to your TFT to make it a TV monitor. Thanks..
How do you combine the 4922 to the DVD-LNB-Screen ?[emoji122]While a proper sat meter would be ideal, I in the interim propose you bundle together the 4922 with any of the affordable portable DVD players (about 3K to 5K), which sit comfortably atop the 4922, plus a length of electric cable and climb up the roof with the gear. I currently use the same and it does not disappoint. Indeed a press of the button on the blind search option as you slowly change the elevation and azimuth delivers fairly quickly. The beauty about this is that what-you-get-on-the-roof-is-what-you-get-in-the-house.
I personally find the usual meters very expensive for reasons I don't know, yet they are miniaturized versions of a screen and decoder together. Indeed a search on OLX and Jumia shows you will pay upwards of 14K for even the most basic ones like the Freesat V8 HD Satellite finder without a spectrum analyzer. Maybe the Li-Ion battery plus portability pushes up the cost

The portable DVD player has a screen that allows external video input. Now lnb to the 4922. 4922 video out to portable dvd player. Dvd player to your eyes.How do you combine the 4922 to the DVD-LNB-Screen ?[emoji122]
The typical portable DVD player comes with its RCA connector with a single port on the player and the 3 (red, white and yellow) for the decoder. I simply place the player on top of the decoder and loop an elastic band (think along the lines on a strip of bicycle tube)to link the two. The cable from the lnb goes to its port on the decoder.How do you combine the 4922 to the DVD-LNB-Screen ?[emoji122]
I thought he was hired by one of the local vernacular tv broadcasters on a shoe-string budget during one of their outside broadcasting assignments for the uplink to 72E !And it is written

Quite encouraging a trend this. On the flip side, it's great selling point(portability) might be it's undoing going by the reviews I have been reading about online. Seems that it's battery which should theoretically give you 4-hours use on a full charge, normally degrades within a short time, with some users reporting it barely retains any charge after merely 3 months of use. May be these are the outliers anywayPrices are dropping though as Chinese produce iterations of popular brands like sat link. And Luthuli Wolves will obviously rip you off.

Sounds like an improvisation I will gladly take up since I have some Discovery beeper lying idle somewhere. ThanksFor this method to be more effective, a wailing beeper should be introduced between 4922 and lnb
are these fta channels still exist on satellites? could i manage to get over 80 channels using 8 ft dish more than two lnb and mediacom receiver?All about Satellite tv, both FTA free to air and paytv available in Africa.
