@all my crtv were cracking &freezing with 90% signal quality on daarsat decoder. Plssss is anybody experience this? I live in Akure, also use 60cm dish

@olatiler with my srt4653 crtv was OK all the way as i do not have daarsat receiver

@alancruise, canal intl is nt there on sirius4, it was there b4. Aljazeera is nt there since the time i've been using it. @olatiler, daarsat decoder is freezing crtv even if u get 100%. It use to be like that sometimes, only what u can do is to loop srong with ur daarsat decoder. Happy weekend.

@Emeritus153, i copy that man, thanks

@all:
any one knows the website to watch Channels TV online?
thankx and I hope this post will not be clipped off!

@lovala try livestation.com but u need good internet connection for u to really get d best of it.

@George

You have come a long way and been doing a tremendous work by your posts and response/solutions to newbies questions. Ranging from installation, disecq switch, decoders questions, lnb. You have vast knowledge experience due to possession of most equipments and trying out new ideas/suggestion. That’s why I suggested you should apply for the post of assistant moderator - technology section. Plus you have access and time to be on net (atleast an hour in a day) which is one of the criteria of a moderator. Please apply.


Also remember the Sonicview SV4000 I told you about, it has a feature which enables it to identify satellites, I was trying to check and input frequencies for w3a and sirius4 while using single dish (pas7/10 is also attached through disecq) and going through the frequencies it identified Panamsat4 at 72E. How possible is this. I will check and post the frequency. NB: It seems all satellites have a frequency on which the satellite name and position is broadcasted for identification by special equipments and decoders with such features. Can you receive Panamsat4 at your location?

@ Microgiant,
It looks like your receiver is from America and not from Europe.I think that is why it is indicating Panamsat4 72 E.

@emeritus thanks for d information, really grateful. Apart 4rm vox africa,lmtv,stv1,occa africa and various globecast promo channel. Wat other channels am i missing?pls help me out emeritus and all.

@Butoneday

Yes I bought it from US through this site
I got to the site while looking for information on cable box that was being used to descramble cable satellite tv in Nigeria. After I purchased the unit and couldn't install, that was when i started my search on net which landed my on nairaland.

Panamsat4/Intelsat 4 is at 72E, on lyngsat only C-Band is beamed to africa, but i am using a 90cm dish and got the signal on a higher frequency range (above 10xxx) that's why I'm asking this question.

@microgiant,
Yes indeed. Panamsat 4 is now renamed intelsat 4 and I'm getting the c-band africa signals on my motorized mesh. I used ZNBC and Congo Tv tps to track (3712 v, 2083 sr and 3729 v, 10500 sr). And yes. All satellites have a way of broadcasting their co-ordinates to recieving equipment which can then decode them. That is why USALS can work well just by knowing the position of one satellite in the arc.

As for being an assistant moderator, I think its up to Seun to decide on that. I have already done my bit.

@ Microgiant
George_D is correct. Panamsat was bought by Intelsat - so PAS7/10 are now Intelsat 7/10

@George_D & Butoneday

Thanks for your responses. I think i will try blindscan during live events on the sat to see what will come up.

@Gorge_D
you are just FTA satelite technology incarnate. your wealth of experience and tremendous contribution is unparallel. pls keep it up. u av enlighten many and may u be shown light. more blessing

oga, are you back from base?

@all let me say something here i watched Sabc2,3 and i was pleased with their programs i wonder how the difference btn Sabc and etv.cause i think is a good replacement just that it is not on 90cm ku dish.any live matches this wkend

@ Olofofo,
I am still in the jungle. Not completely out of gsm network footprint.

@Paps1,
SABC and eTV are both public broadcasters from South Africa and most times their content criss-cross each other in different ways. While one cannot be said to be better than the other, SABC seems to have an edge in the sense that they broadcast on three distinct channels i.e, sabc 1, 2 & 3. And until recently they also had a sports bouquet covering three stations. Here is a dated link which compared the two outfits years back:

@george_d,pls help confirm d station on sirus 4?

@alancruise,
A few stations seem to be playing hide and seek right now on Sirius 4 but I can confirm to you that globecast promo station is still available there. So also the Isreali Network channel which I got on mpeg4. The regulars are there too: BVN, voxafrica, walf tv and STV1. Aljazeera comes and goes. Still don't know why.

@George_D thanks for link.am wondering apart from the etv and Sabc and Gospel stations doesnt SA have any free to air entertainment stations.if u ask me i will say that SA has the best entertainment stations at least for now.i hope Ghana and Nigeria stations would grow far better

@Paps1,
SA may have had an edge in entertainment years back but certainly other african countries are fast rising up to the plate. You need to check out multi-tv to see what I mean.

Buvs,

Just wanna know, is there a possibility of fixing the Strong SRT 4653x remote control (without which one cannot perform any meaningful task with the decoder? Mine slipped and fell from my wife's hand and stopped working. If it can't be repaired, is there the possibility of buying just the remote control? i hope in future Strong Technologies of such happenings.

Most remote controls could be fixed successfully unless it fall in liquid or the battery polarity is interchanged wrongly. What u do is have it opened up, u will see a rectangular box-like device on the panel sometimes close to the battery compartment and not on the surface where buttons are. It has two legs that are usually soldered down on to the board, one of it may have removed or cut due to continual falls. now, use your ingenuity to rebuild the broken leg and solder it back. You should be OK, you can then use a little super glue to hold the device to the board to prevent future occurrence due to shaking from constant usage. u can then save your money.hope this help u and others with similar remote issues.

@Fasone:
Thankx for your internetion. But it can after my dealer had provided me with another one. However, I’ve noted what is to be done in case such a situation arises in the future. I’m very grateful
