3 WAYS YOU ARE AFFECTED DURING RAINING SEASONS USING DIGITAL RECIEVERS INCLUDING Q-SAT

‘It’s all down to the weakening of the satellite signal, Avanti say “as it passes through raindrops, fog, heavy cloud cover or high winds”. Avanti, a provider of satellite broadband packages, would tell you if asked. There is Satellite up in the Sky, which receives transmissions from An Earth Station Up Link which then converts it and resends it to an Earth Station Downlink which then distributes to our digital receivers finally. Note that, when there is an interruption, it would probably affect the quality of channels you watch.

.          Multi tv channels in particularly have been hurt so much on these phenomenon. For the past 4 weeks ago, it has been showing ‘Service Unavailable’ on most channels. This became very intense on the night Juventus was playing against Barcelona in EUFA Champions League final on Tv3. As at that time, it was only 4 Kids, and Joy News that was working. Most customers who put their minds on Tv3 were disappointed with their digibox. Even now, some channels do behave so. Fortunately, it does come back. However, when it does happen when you so much need one programme to watch, you can imagine how frustrated you can be. Hopefully, it is not a fault of your own which needs an Installer. It is the insurgency of the rain and wind. When it rains, it makes it difficult for the Satellite in the sky to resend transmissions to the Earth Station downlink, talk less of your receiver catching it. It is experienced not only in Ghana or Africa but Europe too. It is the main reason why Sky Tv and its network use C-band. Though it does affect it also, it may minimise. Mind you, it is not only Service Unavailable.

.         Moreover, you can also face the issue of Bad Signal. This does begins when it looks like there is a scratch in the programme you are watching. For those having good signal qualities, it would have to rain heavy before you can expect anything of that sort. In any case, after the weather is clear, it is supposed to resume. Nonetheless, when it does not, you may have to call your installer to check it for you. It is all due to the transmission of signal through the atmosphere. The worst that can happen is for the dish to be faced with trees or be removed entirely because of the heavy down pour. I will advise installers to be careful when installing dish at places where there are trees. Both users of Qsat, Multitv, Strong among others would face these problems. Though it is less when using a C-band. On the other hand, it does not help people with Ka band since their dishes are very small.

3.       Finally, users of Qsat may have double of these. You would agree with me that Q-sat uses a sim card in operation. Since the sim card is network based, the same instance does happen to networks too. Give it a try. Tyr surfing the web whiles it is raining. Whiles Q-sat users may be having bad signal, they would have to wait or contend with ‘Network Connection Success’ which does appears before ‘Welcome to server...’ With those with Wi-Fi, you may experience some difficulties too but not as those with the sim card. Peradventure bundling the data may be worse. Hopefully, this does happens to people using Sim card based receivers to watch Dstv or Canal Sat only. You cannot control this though; you could hopefully wait for the rain to subside in order to continue watching.

In a nutshell, they are the basic problems that you can face during the raining season.

5 REASONS YOU NEED TO ADD OTHER OPTIONAL SATELLITES TO Q-SAT BEFORE WATCHING

“A bunch of broom sticks is difficult to break than a single broom stick” says one school of thought. It is really a good idea if you go for the Q-sat receiver, well done. Nevertheless, it would be best if you add other additional satellites to it.

1.       Server Instability is a major factor that has led many to have little fate in Q-sat products. In that ‘Scrambled Channel’ do comes so often. Though this is dependent on the network as well, server plays a deep role in it. Though Engineers can work around it, they cannot stop it definitely from going down a second. The server is dependent on other factors to be stable and run effectively at  its best. I would talk more about the server in my subsequent posting. So if you have the little money to afford other satellites like Astra 28.2 E, Eutelsat 16 E, Eutelsat 7, Intelsat 68.5E  {all in degrees} among others, it would really help.

2.       Many would jump to Qsat for the love of Sporting programmes shown on Dstv and Canal Sat. Nevertheless, if you can install Multi Tv located at Astra 28.2 and have your installer open Tv3 for you, it is a substitute. Tv3 channel in Ghana is noted for Champions League on Wednesday, Europa League on Thursday and the English Premier League on Saturday. They are consistent with that which I can confirm. They do well to show EPL matches preview too on Monday night. It also includes other Sports like Boxing, Racing, Tennis, Swimming and on and forth.

3.       Oromia Tv channel do well in sports too. This is located at Eutelsat 16. More often than not, they show the EPL matches on Saturday. As you know, Saturday’s matches are sometimes played at 12 noon or 3pm. Oromia Tv decides which to telecast though. However, Oromia Tv is not a stable channel. This is because it can be removed from that Satellite {Eutelsat 16} without prior notice. They are on and off if I have to say. So if you are an Installer, be careful. Also, Eutelsat 16 has lots of channels, ranging from Movies, Cartoons to News. It is cool though to have it installed for you.

4.       For the lovers of Nigeria Movies, you can hopefully get Eutelsat 16 or 7 satellite installed for you too. There is a movie channel. Muvi Africa Unite is a dedicated Nigerian Channel which shows 24/7. The rate of advertisement during programmes is about 3%. Moreover, they have nice movies too. Most of them are family oriented movies. Hardly would you see any explicit content or materials. Either satellites would help you get this channel.

5.       Finally, Intelsat 68.5 which mostly show Gospel programmes are highly watched by many too. It is where Emmanuel Tv, Mercy Tv among others are located. Though Emmanuel Tv can be watched at Hotbird 13, it is not guaranteed. If you love One Gospel on Dstv, you would love this satellite too. It has 95% of its channels to be Gospel Programmes. Only some few channels show news and movies.

Have you any other possible satellites you think I have left behind; want to ask any question, you can hopefully comment below.

7 SHOCKING FACTS ABOUT QSAT

Although Qsat has offered enough to suffice our desire for Dstv, Canal Sat among others, there is still some pros and cons about it.

Pros

1.       Firstly, Qsat is the cheapest way to watch Canal Sat or Dstv in Africa. This is because one can view the full Premium channels in the case of Dstv and Canal Plus full channels too. You can get the decoder only around GHC340 thereabout. Whiles the full set can cost GHC400. The interesting thing is that you don’t pay any extra cost after installation. You begin to watch full Dstv premium channels for 1 yr free after which you load an account on it again.

2.       Moreover, it has the highest sale in Africa. This is because of the Dstv monopoly and somewhat Canal Sat. So if you want to deal in it, it is a cool choice. Many Ghanaians and Nigerians and some African countries ejoy using it. Implying the demand is very high. Nevertheless, be careful when you want to be a dealer. As there are some fake ones among them. Or probably some hitches after importing or buying them like no account on them and just to mention a few.

3.       Also, Qsat is fond of releasing software to ease the hitches that dealers and customers face alike. Interestingly, they have every in mind. They do well to provide software for older models like q11, q11+, q 13 and just as you can think off. Though the company or producers cannot guarantee how long they would stay in the business, they have in any case established themselves very well. Having a website, many productions, and more dealers in Africa and across, you can be rest assured they may solve your problem. One thing to is that, there is always a solution to whatever hitch a customer may face. So you can imagine yourself not having a problem at all. Though the server can let many down as it happened back some 4 to 5 months ago, which let many to demand for Beinsport; it can be managed after all.

4.       In addition to that, Qsat is the only receiver as of the time of writing this article currently opening Dstv and Canal Sat channels. All other dongles Receivers like Zoro Box and just to mention  a few including dongles like Azsky are off. There is a server problem. I hope to update you as they begin to function.

Cons

1.       To set the ball rolling, there is no service centre for Qsat decoder repairs. As in the board or any other parts getting spoilt. There is no accredited centre for services of such decoders. Nevertheless, depending on the problem, it may be solved by either using software or someone electronic minded to do it for you. In this case, you do it at your own risk. So be careful whiles using it.

2.       It can be boring sometimes using Qsat. In that it can go scramble when at a pivotal point of some movie or sporting event. It once happened to me. I was watching Chelsea vs. Manchester City in the FA Cup semi- finals last two years ago. It so happened that when Fernando Torres was about to score, it went scramble. After everything has calmed down, it began working again. The same thing when I was watching one Nigerian Movie on Africa Magic, suspense was very high and in no time, scrambled channel came again. It does happen so often as if it has been programmed to behave so.

3.       Qsat, either 11g, 15g, or 28g, all are controlled by servers and network. In this vain, no one fellow can guarantee how long it would take to be stable and not see anything like scramble. Even the manufacturers themselves have no definite power over the server as it is alternated from different sources. One thing for sure is that, they it can be made stable but for how long is not guaranteed.

 

 

So you see, whenever you want to buy Qsat, do consider these options. Nevertheless, it is a good product on the average.
