Yinka4dad: My brother after doing so its still tring to do the upgrading even wen I switch off my main socket without touching the decoder


Unplug the LNB wire from the receiver and power it. Allow the to try upgrading until it boots normally. Then replug ur LNB wire. Also try going to menu-installation-OTA menu. Change to user. Change satellite to any other sat other than intelsat 7/10. Change freq to any of ur choice other than 12522.

Regards.

MyHiDsDaar: @ george d how much is this modulator and where can one get it




@MyHiDsDaar,
It is 9.5k here but could be less in lagos and other places. Also there may be other
brands that do the same job for lesser price. It all depends on what you want and where
you're buying it.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Yinka4dad(m): 11:14pm On Mar 01, 2013
My bro please ow can I upgrade this software cos the decoder is switching off itself
D.lee:
That is nice but one can still configure his/her 69 series reciever so that it will never upgrade on it own. It is simple. Just go to menu with your remote then enter pin. Scroll down to OTA menu and press ok. Change scan mode from default to user. Scroll down to satellite and change it to something like this "0.0E----", scroll down to frequency and change it to something like this "[1] 0.000 GHz". Symbol rate should remain like this "0.000 MS/s. Then save your setting. After that, your reciever will freeze then switch off your reciever from the back and switch it on again and go back to the OTA menu, press ok with your remote then press exit and your reciever will ask you "DO YOU WANT TO SAVE? Then save and your reciever will never think of upgrading through OTA. Thank you.

odilibe: @George...i couldn't remember the last time i used RF output..from receiver to tv grin grin grin...video quality is good on rf output...better on av output..best on HDMI..then switch to 1080p(i) video resolution tongue

@odilibe,
Indeed, you're right my brother. Nothing can beat the quality of HDMI over other mode of decoder video
reception and I was indeed amazed by the sharpness and depth of the SRT 4940 pictures over its in - to -in
HDMI output. Again, all the pix I posted on the previous page were from HDMI as you can see the difference.

However for those who have TVs scartered across several rooms and who want to enjoy the liberty of watching
channels without having to come to the sitting room all the time, the RF becomes a necessary compromise
against quality of video over distance. Over the same distance, the rate of degradation of HDMI compared
to RF is simply too much for it to be any useful as an acceptable means of conveying video.

Insert USB Memory Stick
Press MENU
Goto STORAGE
Scroll down to DATA TRANSFER
Press and you are in
Press red button on remote to UPLOAD CHANNEL LIST .......__

and you have your list in Cndf format.

and you can even factory reset your decoder and re-install your channel list as it was....with all diseque switch settings intact
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Ilish(m): 1:19pm On Mar 02, 2013
Lunsat: 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.

You change Satellite name and position too by:
MENU -> INSTALLATION
SCROLL TO MOTORIZED SETTING
CHANGE DISEQC MOTOR TO USALS
SCROLL UP TO SATELLITE
PRESS THE RED BUTTON FOR RENAME
AND RENAME IT
SAVE AND EXIT
SCROLL DOWN TO SAT DEGREES AND EDIT
SAVE AND EXIT
