I salute you all. On the same note, i have tried this sat with 120cm offset and 180cm pf using inverto ultra black single and stargold fuji single. on BBC persia, the max strength i get is 60%. Is it possible to nab it in my area or its all vanity?. What is the trick? Iam thinking of getting a 150cm offset. will this give me some ease or i should release the idea? Digiturk nabbing pros, pls give me a hint. Enjoy your wkend. Bless.

First of all you have not mentioned your location however i am in western kenya and had fixed a 1.8 PF with stargold single. The first time i got 58% on BBC persia however by tweaking the lnb i got 64% and the digiturk package popped up. It is a tricky signal to nab and i believe Samson lnb will give me the nat geo wild tp and also stabilize the discovery tp.
Right now it is drizzling and am watching BBC knowledge at 58% while the rest are scratching. I realized the bbc knowledge tp is the strongest followed by VH1.

I don't know but i feel an offset is better than a pf. Wish you the best.

First of all i don't know where your location is however i am from Western kenya and my setup is a 1.8 PF with stargold single lnb and the first time i set my dish i got 58 % for BBC persia.

After alot of patience in lnb skewing i achieved 64% on BBC persia and the digiturk package popped up.

Right now it is drizzling and I am watching BBC knowledge at 58 % while the rest are scratching.

This beam is tricky bro but requires patience. The strongest tps i noticed are the ones for bbc knowledge and VH1 tp.
I am sending for a Samson lnb to pull in the nat geo wild tp and stabilize the discovery tp.

All the best bro.

From Experience if the channels are on the same tp you can not do anything to get that channel you are not getting since the problem is from the source not at your end.
 
Is it true that nilesat has rescan their frequencies and added new channels? I dnt want to blind scan my decoder until i confirm here
 
Am in Mombasa and have met with msonda,he's a humble Asas patient with a wonderful set up of sat gears. Am on my way to space electronic to check stuffs(4950 receivers etc)
 
Nimeamka leo asubuhi napata AlEtejah English (12398v) imepotea. Any one with more info? Have they changed tp?

Hi QIMEU,
Unfortunately, you haven't mentioned your location, but from what i have read, guys are nailing this bird and i know we can do it too. I for one, I have managed to get 60% on BBC persian with Fuji HD LNB on 130cm offset dish. i am still hunting for a better LNB line Inverto Ultra black or stargold fuji which am currently un able to get from Kampala. one shop promised to provide Star gold fuji for me next week. But the positive news is that i am getting Eutelsat 7A and Nilesat 7w on one dish, and planning to add Amos 5 on the same dish next week . once all are attached, i will share the photos.
i would support you to go for 150cm offset since you already have the inverto lnb. you will get positive results.
Good luck my friend.

Good point to note, very informative, after reading your post, my ASAS symptoms have kicked in, in the next few hours, i will be on the roof again to try and maximise that signal of BBC Percia from 60 to at least 65. i am still unable to get a good lnb like samson.
 
Is it true that nilesat has rescan their frequencies and added new channels? I dnt want to blind scan my decoder until i confirm here

On the same point, i just rescanned my receiver 2 days back and noticed that i now have 2 TOP MOVIES Channels running different schedules, you could be right, i will look at it closely today and see if there are more new channels.
 
Thanks a lot Chief Soita, Vince 9 and all the victims of this incurable disease if not a terminal condition. Apologies for failing to give my location. Iam in Machakos Kenya. To be sincere, this European beam is giving me long nights (and days). any one with an experience with 1.5m offset dish pertaining 7e? I think this dish can do what 1.2m offset and 1.8m pf can't do. Is my thinking right? someone please?
 
i beg to differ with you on that, both this lnbs are for prime focus dishes, you affix either of this on an offset dish and you wont get no signal.
My hunt for 7e last night made me cut up a eurostar quad and fuji single as illustrated by a fellow ASAS addict and i still didnt manage to lock onto the european beam although there was a remarkable jump in quality on the zimbo frequency (12728 h 30000) of 10% from 71% to 81%. After a blind scan with the 4922 i was suprised to see 4.8e and 5e all pop up with very high signal levels. The hunt would have continued well into the night had it not been for the liverpool game which started at 10pm and i had to cede my rights to the tv to the epl fans in the hse. A forum member told me that i must hit atleast 87% on the zimbo tp for the european beam to pop up, the hunt continues later today as ASAS patients have a never give up attitude which comes with the package. Digiturk here i come.

can a member put more light about the science behind cutting the long neck of stargold/santech fuji lnb to replace it with ku feedhorn to improve reception on 7e. What measurements would give the best results?

Greetings friends. The night was long and held me hostage. Thanks to God that the morning came to my rescue. I found myself on my 1.8 pf dish armed with an inverto black ultra single. After tweaking and twisting again and again, i was able to get BBC persia at 65% up from 58%. Back to the tv, i scanned and nat geo which iam crazy for squeezed its way in with s. quality of 56%, but not showing. Can this samson lnb be the cure. CHIEF SOITA, please inform the house about the performance of samson specifically on the said channel(s) after you perform the tests. Iam waiting with a lot of optimism. Thank you for your encouragement which actually sent me back to the dish. All the best.
 
It seems every successful product attracts fake copies. The copycats are at it again. I understand SRT 4922A fakes have surfaced in various markets, so beware. Check out the attached warning from Strong Technologies.
