c&p. Is it true?
Now this was not about who has the best spread to your digital TV bread, it’s about Bamba TV channel offering.
"The company lays claim to the fact that they have over 50 channels on offer. Well! I will have you know that as much as they do have one of the best offers for FTAs, this is skewed. The box receives Bamba TV channels, Signet channels and Pang tv channels. And right there is where the devil is in the details. Bamba, Signet and Pang have a duplication of sorts, so you will find some channels repeated on the three of them, but Bamba Tv will count these as, you know, more channels.
I have the set-up at my place and counted as many as 70 active channels. In there, I saw KBC over three times, Kiss TV the same and on and on. There are channels following each other in channel numbers that are the same channel, several of them. So If I were to remove duplication, I could say around 20 channels are repeated, sometimes thrice. That leaves, say 30 different channels."

Hehe...H-H motor is a good option where the dish is mounted in an inaccessible location. Since Nilesat is fringe reception, the equipment must be perfect for one to get the signal. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
