Sounds like a software issue. Do you remember the old COSHIP CDVB5668 Decoder by the now defunct GTV? Its software was designed to accept only the two GTV TPs and the FTA TPs available on 7East only! Guys looked for software to convert it into a useful FTA receiver for other Sats without success!
The Z*u*k*u owners know that FTA people would buy it as a cheap HD-MPEG4-DVBS2 decoder for other uses instead. Does it have a USB or other port (RS232) for future software upgrading? What is the price of the decoder only? Model? What other features, e.g., HDMI output or Card input? Thanks.
its a dvb s receiver t-888 is the technosat model, mpeg 2 to be precise.
I was fascinated by the idea as well, and had often wondered about it. Was it Freddygaz or Ftnash that mentioned two dishes with "matched feed", I wonder what Matched Feed means. The implication seems to be that if you set up two 130 cm offset dishes, each with their own LNB, to track the same satellite, and combine the two signals, you will get a stronger signal, stronger than the signal from each dish on its own. Am I understanding correctly? I wonder how you would combine the two signals, just splice the two co-ax cables together?
rtuwey My signal are stable infact Samahani Dishi yangu ni 120cm sio 130 if u remember days of GTV thats d type of dish i'm using.
Sidhani kama unaweza kupata Yahsat Dar ukiwa na 6'. Utahitaji pengine 8'. Hapa Mombasa wengi wamejaribu na 6' bila mafanikio.
Hello all. I'm a newbie here and really thrilled to join. I recently installed the Al Jazeera Full sports package. My challenge is an unstable signal quality on the Al Jazeera sports channels, CNN, BBC,Euronews, etc. Their signal quality is at 60% but crack badly in very light rain, the decoder actually hangs. (The FTA movie channels remain stable however with signal quality of about 80%, even when it rains).
I'm hooked to a 130cm Eurostar offset dish
LNB type is Starlife universal twin N.F. 0.1db
Cable length is about 15 metres
Decoder is the Astrovox 9000
My location is City Cabanas area, Nbi.
I'd appreciate any tips that would help me get a higher/stable signal quality in rough weather. lagat, how are u able to get 80% signal quality on the JSC Sports channels?
Thanks Msondaa; I think I was using the wrong LNB and am now motivated to try once more. By the way have you ever tried the Digiturk package on 7E with the same setup?i have a 6' dish na yahsat iko stable.

rescan YAHSAT for MBC channels. HD Channels left but SD ones on board and it is free according to lyngsat. i will try later in the day and report.
2 day i come acrose x master 3g receiver , its a wonderful receiver, but d priz is high.location mombasa.
Thanks. Always wondered why the operators of MBC would run scrambled HD channels alongside clear SD channels while the difference in picture quality of both isnt that huge. It just didnt make logical sense according to me
