Enjoy Cool Fiction/…

We decided to come up with a complete DIY guide for installing or setting up a


satellite dish & decoder for DSTV, MyTV, Multi TV & etcetera by following after a
simple tut.
This idea was birthed after we recently installed one for a student who
complained of having not even half our installation fees. We concluded that a
guide like this can help a lot of persons install their satellite dishes without a
bug of any kind.
Following this guide step by step will help you install and setup your satellite Tv
dishes without the usual missing channels, poor signal and related issues that
happens as a result of low technical know-how for installing satellite dishes.
We strongly advice you ignore this if you have a phobia for learning new stuff or
not a big fan of do-it-yourself (DIY) guides. It can come in handy for new
installations, adjusting dish positions and/or when relocating to a remote area.

Content Outline: 

Tools Needed
 The Satellite dish and components (ie. Reflector, Lnbf and
Decoder. They are usually sold together).
A good hammer.
4 Pieces of 3-inches nail
I packet of cable clips (the one with nails)
10/13, and 14/15 combination, flat or ring spanner(s)
A cutter (or electric pliers)
A Black Solution Tape (cellotape).
A Screwdriver
F connectors (a minimum of 2) and Coaxial cables (1 full
roll of Coaxial cable is about NGN1,000, $9)
A 4663x or 4669x Strong decoder (special digital satellite
signal meters for installation can come in handy for this, but
we used a strong decoder and so will be using it for
references throughout this tutorial). You can buy cheap
digital satellite signal finding meters online. Either from
here, here and/or any of the top online shopping malls with
reputable sellers.
Extra Tools
This part is necessary if you are going to use a pipe and not the house roof, wall
or wooden fetcher board before the roof.
The pipe must be fixed on an open space without trees and/or other hindrances.
Below is the tools necessary for mounting your satellite dish in an open space
outside the building or with a longer pipe.
A cup of Cement mixed with stones
a trowel
Cutlass or shovel (for digging of hole)
A paint of sand and a bucket of water
How to Setup the Satellite Dish
The satellite dish components will usually come in separate parts and must be
arranged in such a way that makes it easy to receive signals and withstand
strong wind.
The arrangement of the dish components depends on where you intend
mounting it on. If you are going to mount it on a root, wall or wooden fetcher
board of the building, look at the image below for how it should be coupled.

If you intend mounting it on a pipe outside the building, look at the image below
and use the tools listed in the extra tools section above to make it solid and well
grounded.

The last things needed to complete this section is to fit in the screws and nuts
in the reflector’s (dish) rear and connect the LNBF accordingly. See images
below for the tips.

After mounting your satellite dish correctly, you can safely move ahead to the
next and final steps covered below.

How to Configure the Decoder, Activate smart card and
free-to-air channels for first viewing
This is the part where your digital satellite signal meter will come into play. Plug
the Coaxial cable into the Lnbf  base of the main dish assembly and then plug
the other end of the cable into the LNB in (Antenna) port in the back of a digital
satellite signal meter or a strong decoder.
Complete the second part also known as dish alignment by locating east, west,
points and degrees depending on the satellite tv provider you intend doing the
setup for.
Do note that for this tutorial, we used a strong decoder (as a digital satellite
signal meter) to install a DSTV satellite dish and then connected the lnbf cable
to the DSTV decoder to watch all the channels available for our selected plan.
The angular position, polarity and transponder values for popular satellite
providers is listed below for your perusal.
Orbital Position & Frequencies for Popular Digital Satellite TV
Providers
For Multi TV: Use –
TURK SAT
Orbital Position – EAST
Transponder Frequency: 12553, 12525 or 12522
Symbol rate: 19531, 27500 or 27000
Polarity: Vertical
For DSTV: Use –
EUTEL SAT W4 or Eutelsat W7
Orbital Position – EAST
Transponder Frequency: 12245, 11900, or 11747
Symbol rate: 27500
Polarity: Horizontal
Note that this particular settings works for High TV, Train TV & most other
sports channels satellite providers.
For My TV: Use –
INTEL SAT, 7.10/K
Orbital Position – West
Transponder Frequency: 10986
Symbol rate: 26657
Polarity: Vertical
For CanalSat Afrique: Use –
Orbital Position – EAST
Transponder Frequency: 12722
Symbol rate: 30000
Polarity: Vertical
For HotBird: Use –
Orbital Position – EAST
Transponder Frequency: 11881
Symbol rate: 27500
Polarity: Vertical
For Nile SAT : Use –
Orbital Position – West
Transponder Frequency: 10.990 or 10.993 or 12.130
Symbol rate: 27500
Polarity: Vertical
Scanning for Satellite TV Channels & Completing the
Setup
This is the last steps for installing a satellite dish yourself, once the polarity,
orbital position and transponder values for your chosen satellite provider is
noted, move on to this step to complete the channels scan and full activation.
From your strong decoder remote control, find Menu and then select installation.
Enter 0000 as the password and Select manual scanning and then enter your
satellite provider’s values as listed above Eg. eutelsat w4/7,  transponder
frequency and the rest.

satellite software

dstv installation guide

dstv frequency

dstv satellite position

setup network

For Dstv we did the setup as follows:


We selected Eutelsat w4/7
Under frequency, we put 12245
Under symbol rate, we put 27500
Under polarisation, we put H
At this point, the signal power and quality meter will start reading, start rotating
your reflector (dish) up/down and sideways around 36 degrees east (see your
neighbors own for tips or read directly from your digital satellite signal meter).
Watch the signal power and quality and tight the dish strongly once you are able
to get values higher than 60% (We got 89% for ours).
Once a good signal quality is ascertained, your satellite dish is all setup.
Disconnect the LNB-in from your strong decoder (or digital satellite meter) and
connect it to the DSTV decoder. Select English from the language options, E36A-
B from the next window and Universal for LNB type. Hit scan to install and
complete the channels setup.
Note: If you are using a digital signal meter, the scan option won’t be necessary.
All you need do is, connect the LNB-in to the meter and enter the frequency,
polarization and symbol rate values while aligning the dish for best signal
quality.
DSTV Free-to-air Channels
Once your DSTV satellite dish is installed correctly, the following channels will
show in clear qualities as they are free-to-air channel for all DSTV satellite dish
owners.

1. Channel 100
2. Channel 198
3. Channel 409
4. Channel 447
5. Channel 449
How to activate a DSTV Smart Card for First Use
If you are activating your DSTV smart card for the first time, you will need to buy
a subscription plan. All DSTV bouquets is listed here.
Insert your smart card and take note of the smart card number. Call 012703232
or 08039003788 to setup your account or dial *288# to follow the USSD prompt.
What if there’s the E16 Error Code?
This is a very common error with activating new accounts, you can correct this
error if after 30 minutes of activation, your subscribed (premium) channels are
yet to show up.
You can correct the E16 error by sending reset plus  your smartcard number (eg.
reset 1234567890) as an SMS to 30333 or by using the clear error code – E16
option on the self-service section of the DSTV website.
DSTV Satellite Dish Signal Troubleshooting Tips

This is an important update for those asking for help on how to properly
position their satellite dishes after relocating from their old residence and/or
when the dish position gets tampered with by kids playing within the
surroundings.
This section would also come in handy for those experiencing very poor
reception, distorted audio and poor visual rendition.
Here, you won’t be needing a digital meter or strong decoder as the built-in
signal tunar function that comes with DSTV satellite dish decoders will suffice.
What you need do is this-

1. Position your TV in such a way that- it can be viewed clearly


while turning the satellite dish. You’ll need take it outside in
most cases, or ask someone else to look at the TV and give
you updates while you play around with the satellite dish
positioning to various angles.
2. Turn on the entire system and press the Help button on your
remote control.
3. Scroll down to general information and then Tunar Status to
your right.
4. Click to the Tunar status and use that to setup your satellite
dish for best delivery. Anything between 60 and 98 is perfect
and would be hardly disturbed by rain and/or poor weather.

How to Record TV Shows, FM Radio and Satellite


Programs
DSTV explora hardware and some other premium satellite TV decoders lets you
record events and programs for future viewing, but if you are using the HD
version that doesn’t give such privileges, you can use this section for tips on
how to record TV programs for future viewing.
Select the device to use (for this guide, I’ll be using a PC.
Note that there are such enhancement for smartphone and
tablet devices)
Get a USB TV tuner box/stick (assuming you don’t have one
already). You can buy it from Amazon INC. by following
after this link or from their listing page here. There are
cheaper models of USB TV tuner stick on Aliexpress too,
you can buy one of those from this page. (Note that older
desktop computers uses the PCI component for TV tuning,
there’s likely the chance that yours has one already for
second-hand buys).
Connect the USB TV stick to your PC and then, connect the
RCA from the decoder to it or use the RF-out to sync
between your regular TV and USB TV card.
Install the USB TV box software and support drivers.
Select any channel of your choice and hit record to the save
for future viewing. You can record FM stations and similar
programs as long as they work on your PC.
Note: You can record both satellite TV programs and regular TV shows with this
guide. You can also use your regular TV cards (for desktop computers) to record
live TV shows by upgrading the support software to their latest version.

snoop around the net and see if such details exist on their support forums.

jiga
Nice one. But what about the big dish, the 2 meters and above. I also want
to know about the costs involved. Thank you.

Obasi Miracle
We’ll update this post with more tips for it once we have time in our hands.

Olaide
Pls help sir. My distv hd does not have signal and the dish is well installed.

Obasi Miracle
Is this a recent development? Have you check if the LNB input is still
properly fixed from the back of the decoder?

Godwin Alekz
Nice works here, i’ve been trying to install a strong ‘srt 4653’ decoder bt the
frequency power isnt turning green. The quality is also not increasing. Pls
help!! My mail is [email protected]

Obasi Miracle
You will need to set the right frequency and polarization and then tune the
dish accordingly until you start noticing some movement in the bars. You
can use the details here as a template

Flow
Tanz for ur effort in helping us save some money. Pls i just want to ask if
it,s possible for a cable to cause a low quality signal in multi tv . Are my
suppose to start turning d dish when it is on manual scanning or dish
setting ? Pls help i have been on since yesterday . Thanks

Obasi Miracle
Once the cable is properly connected from the rear panel and confirmed
okay from the indicators, it is save to start tuning the dish randomly in the
right directions while watching the signal/quality movement. The position with
better quality would be the standpoint to hook on to.

Charles
My decoder lost signal and I pay money to restore it. Pls can I get a clue on
how to do it myself

Obasi Miracle
It depends on what caused the signal lost, it could be as a result of the
coaxial cable LNB-in broken, the dish changing from its original position,
messing with the decoder settings and sundry reasons. So it is best to
troubleshoot along these lines whenever there’s a signal lost.

Flow
Tankz alot bt how do i kno if the LNB faculty?

Obasi Miracle
What I asked you to check is the LNB-in, that is – where the cable coming
from the dish is connected to (in the decoder’s rear). You can do so by
unscrewing the F-connector and checking to see if the tips of the cable isn’t
broken and then connect it back and properly screw the nut.

Unkle Vin
Hi. Pls, there’s this decoder called Metro digital tv. do have an idea on how
to install the stuff, and if so how do I go about it?

Musiime Simon
Thank you very much for this useful information. I am indeed grateful.
Where can I get a digital satellite meter?

Obasi Miracle
It is sold in major electronic shops around, you can also buy from
Aliexpress or any other e-mall.

what should I do to resolve the signal problem.
Thank you for your supports.

dish to a more clearer angle or track with a digital meter for better signal
quality.

Olakunle
Thanks.
This is a well defined and straight to the point DIY write up, you’re indeed a
genius.
However, am a bit lost on tge aspect if recording via USB TV stick. Pls if ok,
kindly help with a comprehensive explanation. I use both Explora 2 and HD
zapper.
Thanks

Obasi Miracle
Hi Olakunle,
This part is very simple. It is meant for those interested in viewing the
satellite stations from their PCs. Most tech stores sells devices popularly known
as “TV card (for tower desktops) and/or USB TV box”. Once you have installed
the device to your PC, you can record TV programs and radio station updates
from TV on PC player interface.

Patrick
Hi may God grant u long life to continue helping pple. Very few pple wil do
this for free. Can these settings b used in other countries such as Kenya?.

same everywhere once receptivity is possible.

TIME. Thanks, from Delta state.

Hi Godswill,
Use 11862 (H) 27500 and the dish should be nearly facing the sky and at
the same time facing west-like slightly. You can change polarity to (V) if H
doesn’t work. I am not to sure of the polarity right now, but the symbol rate and
freq. is it.

hi Obasi! have not used my DStv decorder for some time now, what
will do to activate it before subscription?

Precious
hi obasi! how can I activate my DStv decorder I’ve not used for years?

Obasi Miracle
Are the connections still intact? All you’d need to do is – subscribe
normally and wait for about an hour. If it doesn’t come up, do a quick reset
with the *288*2# DSTV USSD code or ring their customer support to reset it
from their end quickly.
