How does one tune Rockdale receivers to get fta channels. What I get are only startimes scrambled channels. Am in Eldoret.

In short, first ensure that your analogue KBC signal is clear before you connect the DVB-T2 decoder, reason being that Signet is a KBC subsidiary.

I think it is possible coz i installed a 90cm for a friend in Kerugoya and i nabbed CNN using Fuji lnb.

Hi FTA Gurus
I wish to inform members that i succeeded in getting CNN in Nyeri (Kenya) using a 90CM dish though it wasn't very easy. Now what about Kericho using the same Dish size (90 CM)? How easy is it?

First, make sure your antenna is pointed to the right transmitter. Signet (FTA) and Startimes transmitters are not always located in the same site / direction. Signet transmitters are usually located at the site of old KBC analog transmitters countrywide. Set your antenna height and direction to receive the analog KBC optimally. If you are still receiving a weak KBC analog signal, consider buying and installing a "Powered UHF Antenna" such as the imported mesh-type "JETA" brand. Remember that a fake/imitation of JETA is also available on the market. Next, plug in the antenna into the Rockdale decoder and conduct an Auto-search. If you still cannot lock on the Signet digital signal, most likely the digital transmission is not yet available at your location. Try also pointing the antenna towards Webuye / Timboroa direction. Cheers.

Hi,
If you are getting Star times signal then you are good to go because in Eldoret Transmitter is all at the same place as that of Star times that's in(Kapsoya)
Next Return your decoder to factory settings Power off and then on then Blind scan.If that fails try manual frequency input(Input 538mhz) then see if you are getting any signal.In Eldoret we are getting that one Frequency only.Am told that which host NTV,Citizen and others are yet to come through as of now we have about 18 stations(Although this Morning it was off air).

Ooh! you only need 2 use 3735R 7018 using as small as 65cm dish.

this tornado hunters must be very brave to do what they do. but then thinking of it all scientists have a certain degree of madness. the same applies to all ASAS addicts.
check out the dish on the back of the truck. this was in Moore Oklahoma.

It is possible since its near Nyanza and Western where A.S.A.S patients are receiving the same on 90cm with strong signal

Hooodiiiiii????

Am happy to belong back to the sat family! The digital migration in Kenya is taking too much time, why not just get over with it!

The satellites in the sky are multiplying by the day. The Western hemisphere is now being switched on. A part from the now famous Nilesat, there seems to be 9 more birds on that side of the sphere.

Will be back!

welcome wakilongo

but these freqs are for C band and the 65cm dish is an offset right? How do you do that?

permie · May 22, 2013

@ regiment jey, I believe he is saying that it has a strong signal and you can receive it with the smallest c-band or you can turn your 65cm to c-band using the ring scalar holder.

I have tried but i have been unable even getting BBC is a problem, it cracks alot, maybe its because of my location and the lnb. I use a fuji lnb 0.1db and i am located further down in Litein. Hope you are lucky so u can share the trick

Litein is far from the footprint limits. You have a good lnb (if I could lay my hands on one). A bigger dish will save you the hustle. I cant get anything with a 0.5db on a 90cm in Bungoma which is nearer. Good luck, anyway.

Any one with information on Azam TV?.
