I think reasonably can suggest:
image+ Oscam1.0 above + CCcam2.1.3 above + Mgcamd 1.35 above.
Dont change image like changing Cars in Sg, juz use a simple image u r familiar.

Master jatrophaseed, would you suggest dish or cable if we go with the no-more-free way? I thinking of getting in a "azfox" 1LNB flat dish? Able to receive more international channels, I hope?

[jatrophaseed]

Dish is not quite possible, IDA hv very draconian rules installing a Dish. License fee is S$1000/yr per dish. Unless private prop can hide very well. If u r in M'sia, then Malaysia Boleh lah, rcvd Measat Astr0 and Phoenix 138e and many but must be para-pan-tilt dish. I was testing the dish hobby for a while later give up bcos language no understand and program similar to SH and free MIO.
Our Cable is 1 of the MOST STABLE in the world, I prefered Cable than to MIO subject to freeze or Sat subject to weather inteference. But it yr option to choose yr likes. However it also lots of scrambled chn cant view. After sometime, u find not much diff from SH.

I dont know much about di5h but I'm interested to try. Does this Flat Satellite Antenna Azfox DL1HD Dual Linear Polarization Worldwide Used Free Shipping on Aliexpress.com (http://bit.ly/1c6Dlsf) work? I don't see whether is C or KU, and it has only 1 lnb. Can receive ChinaSat? :D

I know some encrypted but if going the Cheaper Subscription way, I feel is safer than star.h specific Cheaper Subscription (less targetted)...

[jatrophaseed]

Here is the Cable section, may b u shud ask in the Sat section.
1) decide which specific Satellite u want to point to and C band or Ku Band.
2) chk see it footprint covers yr area.
3) chk signal strength in DB and select the type of dish/size most suitable, not any dish in Ali.
4) Import a signal meter to find tune elevation and tilt.

aiya... many more lah, pls seek Satellite section for help, I retired from Sat more than 1 yr+ liao.

If u say safer, u hv a dish like a flashing Beacon telling police u hv a ISD offence with unspecific length of detention. :joyous:

eg of Astro Measat3a footprint see attached.

The one from your link is a KU Band receiver based on the frequency advertised (10GHz+).
ChinaSat got so many birds up there. Which ChinaSat u want to shoot?

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the newbie questions.. I'm still learning.. :)
I look at Lyng5at page for China channels, its 6A, 6B or 9, but it seems the ku doesnt cover here, unless it's C. I'm also looking at Asia5at and Mea5at.

What I meant safer, I'm not refering to the d1sh. IP address is traceable.. I'm refering to the "Cheaper Subscription" plan. I can subscrible to any server in the world.

[jatrophaseed]

Hahaha... you may need a 20footer C dish like that along Admiralty Rd x Sembawang Rd junction to sub the Euro-plans. Try a reasonable 1.5Meter C band in yr backyard facing S China sea, u get lots Asian chn.. I like Phoenix 138E ( C covers us) but now I found new love walking along Geylang KIAKIAKUAKUA (walk2 looksee2) :eviltongue:.

You're welcome, no worries, everyone's learning.
Asia5at would be also C-band.
Mea5at has both. But if you would be looking at the "no-more-free" way for the channels from @$$throw, it would be Ku.
Like Mr @jatrophaseed has mentioned somewhere before, Ku wouldn't need so big a dish. Somewhere between 50cm-70cm would suffice.

GP3+Oscam+CCcam+Mgcamd is all 3 cams have to be installed or just 1 cam will do?
Got a guide to setup the server & client? :D


For di5h, I think I have to go with Ku only. Small enough for me. Have to change the cable to sat tuner and ship a flat d1sh to JB and test out..

hi master,

can share a bit more on the setup?
those card you are using are legit from SH or like those days used for dm900 clones?

i am trying hard to find more information to test but yield no result.

worst still is that those on FY800 box are tested to be working thru CS?.
