African Satellite World and Sat Gear

[GIDEN]

#GIDEN, unfortunately i didn't take note of the two transponders that hit green. I recall the polarity had digits of 1s, 0s & 7s and the frequencies had 4-digits. The elevation was 150mm [+/- 5mm] above Eutelsat 7b [European Beam].

Another blunder is that i didn't hook the set-up with a more sensitive decoder like GSky v6 HD that would probably had locked on more transponders. I reckon the satellite must have been a weak signal Eutelsat 10a KU-Band [Wide Beam].

Interestingly, i lowered the dish below Eutelsat 7b & locked on a transponder broadcasting DigiSports 3 airing a live soccer match. The transponder had three other channels and i can only remember "TV Gabon". The position was definitely SES 5/ Astra 4a and maybe the broadcaster had a live feed.

I abandoned KU-Band out of Eutelsat 9b @9°e frustrations started C-Band satelliting. I don't have a clear LOS Eastern/ Western Beam due to 5-Storey buildings and i've been unable to lock on Intelsat 10-02 @0.8°w C-Band Global Beam broadcasting A@FN Package. What is the best way of tracking down this bird?

I think the best would be lock on Nilesat or ABS3 then change LNB to Cband and also change corresponding settings on decoder/meter use AFN Tp 4175V28000 to track and remember to insert Teflon since its a circular polarity satellite. Lift slowly till you hit green.

Is M*N wo*ldwid* on NSS 7 still possible in East Africa with a 130cm offset dish and a conical scalar ring after the frequency change. I tried it last evening with a Eurostar ESCD-600 LNBF and failed miserably. It was my maiden attempt on C-Band & here is how I configured the receiver;

Anything wrong with how I configured the receiver? And if NSS7 is no longer possible with a 130cm, will I still be able to lock M*N wo*ldwid* on NSS 12 @ 57˚E with the same dish size?

Change lnb type to 5150 only

Is there anyone who can share with me a working powervu softcam for/from Openbox v8 combo. Muzombozi if available please assist

 

[Tolil]

center that's my current setup

Wessly: I have given up on Kenyan mux 72.1E. Tried several times but all in vain. Currently enjoying the goodies on 68.5E with pv. I am using 180pf, supermx777 connecting to V7. Location Kericho.

Use this tp 3743,h,13930

This one for KBC is easy. What about the TP that carries KTN, NTV et al? 3724?

That one is still under multi stream. Refer to the first two pages of this thread.

What happen to HB*/CN* on is 20, have just gone scrambled on my srt, has this happen to every one or is the key conflict on the tps 3975 V/H in my decoder?

On my srt4920 i usually edit the transponder to 3970 same with pv key ident to avoid conflicting with Disney frquency 3975

If it still viewable to you with known keys, that means I have a problem, mine I just edited from 3975 V/H 19850 to 3977 ..... still scrambled while all other channels on p*wrv* are open

and just found there is no way i can reset the p*wrv* keys, tried factory reset and flashing official sw nothing.

 

[McMedards]

Yes

Did the same and still scrambled
