Has any one with SRT4930 HD ben hit by this OTA upgrade thing? I have this stb and I have not experienced any OTA issues even though I acccess both Astra 2F and Intelsat 20. I am not even sure that there is an OTA menu in the software for this stb. Maybe the OTA issues are for SD stbs? |

For all those with strong SRT 4940 and other similar decoders without RF output, you can use an AV to RF modulator like the one below. I got it as part of my COMSTAR dish renovation works along with the 4940 in the pix. And for those running away from 4940, I tell you its the best in terms of signal reception. Its tuner is very sharp and you can never miss a thing. As long as what you desire is clean FTA then please go for it. However if you're looking at using it for illegalities, I'm sorry you have to look elsewhere.

@All, Compilation already in progress for the much awaited C- Band tracking list which was part of my COMSTAR renovation works. And, for all those who think the era of C- band has passed, please wait till after this weekend before jumping to conclusions! I'll be uploading pix after pix of amazing stations all waiting patiently to be tracked - and a few HD channels thrown in for good measure too! Now, who says you can't put that masive HD ready screen of yours into use unless you unscramble big brother?! |

George_D: @all, Yes BB is up to the usual tricks. These channels are similar to what Sammu posted but this time with different fta frequencies (two to be precise). Most of these are mainly West African...lets wait and see. As you my Oga George_D rightly said, enjoy while it lasts! |

Lunsat: Has any one with SRT4930 HD ben hit by this OTA upgrade thing? I have this stb and I have not experienced any OTA issues even though I acccess both Astra 2F and Intelsat 20. I am not even sure that there is an OTA menu in the software for this stb. Maybe the OTA issues are for SD stbs? So far I have never heard of SRT 4930, 4902 etc being hit by this OTA Upgrade Tsunami. I was discussing with a friend this morning about this and I also touched on the fact that this 4930 doesnt have this OTA option. But bearing in mind that these Mytv people know these receivers in and out we came to the conclusion that we should wait before singing "Hurray, hurray, hurray..." May be even without that option they will force an upgrade on these models, just like what Dstv does (and what the now defunct Gateway Television - GTV used to do). |

Some people have been asking on this thread how to search for a sat when its not on their channel list. this is where a channel editor can come in handy. There is a nice tool I have used to solve this problem, which is called NDFedit 1.65. you can get this executable file from http://crosat.us/upload/index.php?&direction=1&order=rating&directory=Strong Receivers/Strong WIZKID Files/Strong 4 Middle East. There are afew other types and versions of editors on this site but I have only used the NDFedit 1.65. You need a computer to use this application. In addition you need to know how to save the channel list from your STB to a flash disk, and you need to know how to upload a channel list from a flash disk to your STB. The channel list file is saved on the flash disk in CNDF format and the NDFedit application enables you to open it and edit it. With the NDFedit application you can do the following: 1. for satellites, you can: -Add, Rename, remove, assign positions (degree), and arrange order of satellites in your channel list. -Change LNB settings i.e LNB frequency, LNB type, and LNB power on/off - Change diseqc settings i.e assign a sat to a diseqc port, choose the commands which the stb should use (diseqc 1.1 or USALS) 2. Edit TPs for each sat: - Add, edit or delete a frequency - give a channel name to a frequency - Change the polarity of the TP i.e Vertical, Horizontal, circular right, circular left - Change the FEC i.e 1/2, 3/4. 7/8 etc -Change the modulation type e.g DVBs, DVBs-S2 or auto -Tell the STB whether or not tehe frequency is prone to drifting so that it can catch it better 3. This aplication is even supposed to allow you to update your channels list with updated freqencies for each sat from lyngsat or flysat over the internet, though I haved used this aspect of it. All this is done on your computer and then you upload the channel list to your STB and you are done.With this application you dont need to have useless sats and TPs clogging the memeory of your STB slowing it down and causing it to hang.You dont need to have channels for one sat being scanned under the wrong sat name. You can even have KU band only channel lists and C band only channel lists if you are only interested in one band type only. Just thought I should share this. |
