Get a dvbt2 set top box instead. Its certainly not worth it spending
alot of money chasing these channels which are very scattered. Better
still buy a combo receiver. The only receivable kenyan Channel on Ku band is K24 which you can get with a 65cm dish on NSS12. The others it seems uplink thier content to Cband and weird satellites like ktn on Amos 5 west african beam

True word. :grouphug: Listen to him.

Good evening A.S.A.S addicts. I appreciate the FTA brotherhood. I have a quick one:
Is 130cm offset dish adequate for Europe-B signal in NRB?
Which among these is the best lnb for the same: Stargold, ES HD, Inverto or samson?

 

[FTA-Nash]

Hello FTA-Nash
Is that transponder DVB-S or DVB-S2? And is the signal as weak as the etv feeds or it's stronger?

DVB-S2, MPEG4; Signal quality 75% on my setup. Even a 90Cm dish is Ok.

Yes it should. Use 130Cm Eurostar Offset dish plus Inverto LNB. However, you will not get all the Transponders. With a 240cm off-set dish you get all. Refer to previous posts for more information. Also, check here:

Is it only just me but do the other KE in the house notice some irritating hum on citizen tv

 

[FTA-Nash]

My 6ft PF only gives me two tps, 10804v and 10845v fuji single. I intend to upgrade to fuji quad tomorrow and hopefully nab some more tps. hints will be appreciated.

Use Stargold-Fuji Ku-Band LNB for Prime Focus Dishes. Ensure you hit quality of 69% or higher on the BBC-Persia channel. Alignment of this LNB with the focal point of the dish is critical. The dish must not be warped, tilted or have any dents! If you receive the Discovery and Animal Planet channels without scratches then you are doing very well. All the best.

StarTimes accused of ‘hijacking’ Kenya’s world cup
signal
A consumer body has accused Chinese pay-TV provider
StarTimes of hijacking a Kenya Broadcasting Corporation
(KBC) signal to air the FIFA football world cup in Brazil.
This after public broadcaster KBC, which has digital and
analogue channels, suddenly stopped broadcasting the
opening game of the tournament between Brazil and
Croatia on Thursday night.
KBC subsequently directed its viewers to access the
world cup matches via other digital or even analogue
channels to watch the match. StarTimes’ broadcast of
the world cup opening game; though, continued.
And the Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek) is
alleging foul play.
“The ICT geniuses that are Chinese managed to beat
KBC at its own game after devising a way of picking the
analogue signal and passing it off as if it was a digital
signal,” says Cofek in a statement on its website.


“Yet KBC had already blocked them on DDT (digital)
platform,” alleges Cofek.
Cofek goes on to allege that is has seen a letter from
KBC that initially stopped StarTimes from relaying the
world cup broadcasts.
Cofek adds this could risk another court battle with the
Chinese digital broadcaster.
Cofek is already taking StarTimes to court in a bid to
force the Chinese pay-TV provider to compensate
subscribers for the loss of free-to-air channels on the
service.
In March, a Kenyan court halted pay-TV companies such
as StarTimes and GOtv from airing the country’s free-to-
air channels, saying the firms had not sought approvals
from the channel owners.
At the time of writing, KBC and StarTimes have not
commented on Cofek’s latest signal hijacking claims.
But Cofek’s latest battle with StarTimes already started
on Thursday, hours before kickoff of the opening game.
In a separate public announcement, Cofek alleged that
StarTimes has no rights to broadcast the tournament in
Kenya, as these are said to be reserved by KBC and
MultiChoice’s DStv .
“StarTimes are openly lying to the public that they will
air live world cup matches from today until the end of
the tournament,” says Cofek.
“In a full page colour advertisement in sections of the
print media today, ‘Score with the best deal in town’
StarTimes are saying ‘watch live football in crystal clear
digital quality on StarTimes’.
Cofek on its website has also posted a StarTimes
advertisement (pictured above) that seemingly shows
StarTimes selling cheaper decoders bundled with world
cup packages for Khs 1,999.

Hello Arselona. Any clue (including costs) on how to acquire an 8ft. offset dish in Kenya?

sanito1, I reside in Morogoro-Tanzania where they are sold for tsh 300,000 or so.

 

[freddygaz]

Which channels are FTA? Am a diehard F1 fan and my wish is its RTL though that would be a utopian wish. :behindsofa:

Hello thea.....Last weekend watched F1 on irib on Arabsat5C 20E....hope it will continue to air the whole season......will give you updates this sunday 🙂

 

[techdee]

Even though there is a court order stopping two pay TV companies in KE from airing the WC, this does not mean that the subscribers will not watch the WC. TBC1 and UBC are on both companies bouquets and are both showing the WC. Bb Zk has opened TBC1, UBC and SABC1 which all air the WC, of the 3 SABC1 has the best picture quality.

tbc was yanked off from startimes before wc.the only option left for the subscribers is to watch through heritage tv on signet.it is a rough ride for pan africa.
