GTMEDIA V7S HD Philippines

[fobs]

Hello everybody,
Very new on the forum and beginner with satellites.
Just received my new V7S HD.
I live in the philippines and i need your help for a lot of things ( maybe everything ...)
What is the best Satellites to point here ? ( if possible , with some French channel but not a must)
Thanks in advance and already sorry if i have stupid question.

Check in the Internet all satellites and their coverage maps. You'll get all the frequencies

Sites like lyngsat dot com will help

There is also dishpointer dot com
This will help you point your dish.

What dish do you have, a large C band or a small off set ku band dish?

I have a KU dish 90 cm and KU lnbf ( from Cignal tv , Philippines)
I don’t move my setup but I received a cignal and every channel is blocked ( 108.20 E. SES 7)
I consider to buy a C/KU combo lnbf with conical scalar ring for replace on my setup.
I want to use AsiaSat 7 , but he is not on the satellite list in my v7s hd ( already with last update for Asia).
What I need to do for add on the list ?
Every advice is welcome.

Go to the satellite list.
at the bottom you will see color buttons allocated. One will be for "ADD"
Name the sat as you like and add 105.5e for the longitude.
Set the DiSEqC antenna setting to match your dish.
then do a blind scan.

You will need a 2.4m dish or bigger for Asiasat7 C band.
The comments on your other post are for Intelsat 19 C band as well.

Thanks you.
I read on some post that it’s possible to use a 90cm dish with the c band lnbf,
Is it truth or not? ( really not easy to find a bigger dish here)
They say too, with a c band lnbf, it’s possible the view the blocked channel ( cignal tv, direct tv here in the Philippines) for free.
This is why I want to change from KU band to c band, and have more channel free to air.
If not, what is the interest to have a c band lnbf ?

[Feralkiwi]

Check with those local around you as the signal may be stronger there than I see.

Owen

[fobs]

Nobody have that here.
The only satellite you can see here is the 90 cm dish from the provider Cignal TV or GSat. ( welcome to the province )
What is the interest to have a C band lnbf between KU band?

[Feralkiwi]

90cm dishes are best for ku band. I would not expect c band to work on a dish that small.
The dishes around you, do they have ku band LNB's on them?

What channels on what satellite are you hoping to get.

Owen

[fobs]

No, they have KU band lnbf.
I like to have SES 7. 108.20 E for look all the channel same as Cignal tv ( discovery, hbo, TV5 monde, fox, etc).
For now, I have all these channel but all are encrypted.
What can I do?

There are 3 types of channels you can get with your V7S receiver. They are
1.- FTA... Free To Air.. freebies... everyone gets them
2.- Scrambled using PowerVu, Biss or Director. You place a file in the V7S to unscramble those channels.
3.- Scrambled using other type of encryption. To unscramble you need to use a third party to provide the data you need to unscramble these channels. You will have to pay the service, either by month or year. This service in your part of the world is known as "Cccam". Google "Cccam Skylife 116E" and you will see what is available.

This Cccam service has nothing to do with GTMedia, but the V7S comes ready to work with that type of signal. If you make a deal with someone, they will send you the data you need to program into the receiver, commonly known as a "C-Line". If you are receiving 116E you are almost there. One point I have to tell you is an internet connection is required for Cccam to work. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

[fobs]

Thanks for the explanation.

Correction.
I think my dish point on SES 7. 108.20 E

Correction.

So what you have to do is Google "Cccam cignal 108.2E" to see if there is any 3rd party service for that satellite. If there are none then continue searching until you find a satellite in your area that you can receive and has a Cccam service. Option #2 in my list is getting smaller as the providers are changing to methods that are not hackable. So #3 is the way to go.
