DSTV In Lybya Marsa El Brega

I picked up DSTV while we were living in Libya using a 2.8m dish, C band LNB pointing at 68.5 deg E. The signal was ok but dropped out regularly.

Ok Yep a have tried now with a 91cm Disch but can not pickup the Intelsat 7/10. wil go and chack for a 2.8 then see if it wil work. what was the cost of such disch, was it motorised or fix type,  did you had to contact DSTV to let it reset again fro Libya region, or do's it not matter tje location of the decoder,?

I got hold of a used 2.8m aluminum fixed dish for 600 Lyd from one of the satellite TV places opposite the main Aman bank building.

I was using a dodgy receiver and had to get it reflashed every once in a while, no DSTV subs.

Hi jlockem.

Are you a saffer ?  DSTV has changed their signal recently and all of us that had the stations before are now without.

I bought Showtime from Dubai (and cheaper than DSTV), and you get to see all the ruggas, including Curriecup, complete S14, tests etc.

Let me know if you want to get in contact.  We have braai's every weekend during rugby season, and get together a couple of times a year (organized by us, as the embassy is useless) just to get more of the non-regulars there as well.

Hi John,

Are you a saffer ? 

DSTV has changed their satelite, as well as all access codes.  All of us here previously with DSTV are now without.

I bought showtime from Dubai (cheaper than DSTV) and you get to see all the ruggas, from Curriecup, S14, all tests, Tri-nations etc. to Heineken cup.

let me know if you need more info.

Cheers
