Na bro, it's different. Android box gives more possibilities like custom ROMs I mentioned earlier and if u a tech geek and tired of Android u can convert some boxes like Mi box S to a fully functional Linux machine.

That's what i hope to achieve. Finding possibilities where there seems to be none. I was hoping someone on here who works with Carlcare will slip me a software for the upgrade but since i've not gotten that yet, my search is still ongoing at the background. Being boxed by companies and others has never been my style. I believe every consumer must be allowed the chance to do more with whatever devices they buy with their hard earned money to get value for it and nothing else.

dlollyboi:

Android 4 to Android 9, you don't want the company to sell their products. The option you have is custom ROM and you hardly get it for android TV.
Why not try getting an android box there are cheaper ones in the market now.

An Android TV is an android box with a screen attached to it. When you see it that way, that's when you'll know whether you're fully utilizing it or underutilizing it. You shouldn't always be quick to remove money from your pocket to buy new gadget till you know you've explored every possible loophole with your device and that there's no way to proverbially "Open it up" to new possibilities first before you buy a new TV or a new box. That's how we did it back in the day.

Hello Swordswifter,
it have been a longtime since we saw you last here. Good to see you here again. Unfortunately I don't have solution to your problem.

That's true.
Life takes us on different journey's but home will always where the wifi connects fastest so i'm back to learn from the new kings on the block and share when i can.
It feels good to be back

Can someone help me with a link where i can get android 9 firmware for the Syinix 55" T730U 4k TV?
Mine runs on android 4 and i can't seem to find a software update for it anywhere so that it can be able to recognize my bluetooth usb dongle so i can connect my bluetooth earphones to it when the churches and drinking bars start making unbearable noise in the neighbourhood. Thanks

dabosuker:


Damn it, was thinking of getting a promo 4k TV from them, I was beginning to even suspect when I checked their site, not much info as it concerns the TV (Specs) or any other TV,...

Geez they can do better, what's the point of getting a cheap TV, if the quality is way below average,..... But on second thought maybe they have improved, though their website is lacklustre

@Odilibe and other Electronics Savvy Satmates i greet you all.

I am currently working on a project to convert an srt4910 HD decoder into a dvb-t and dvb-t2 compatible receiver but I'm at a jam at the moment. I cannot seem to find the datasheet or specification documents for the LG TDFB-G151D NIM tuner on that motherboard anywhere online. Assistance is really needed here as this will help me understand the circuitry better to proceed with the experiment.

Thanks.

Oh!

you are on this forum for years now but i can tell you from many points that you are still small in satellite tecnology all you know is how to pick up a dish and receive signals for TV. so this makes you president right?
you dont know anything yet.even small power VU which is all over internet you can not handle it.
if you want to learn please dont be arrogant call grand papa he have my number ,he called me today but before i have to let you know who you are,before i can accept you as our boy.

Let us all hear what the issue is.
I would like to understand what this attitude of yours is all about.

@Sokopion
Up till now you have not responded to my open inquisition. At this point in time i consider it that we do not have any issues between us. I will ask you therefore to advice yourself and not pass any ungentlemanly or uncivilized comments towards me on this forum or outside this forum or on any of my posts. You can respond to my posts or you can decide not to. No one will hold you back but do yourself that favor and mind your yourself. I've not been on this forum for almost a year and getting back and trying to read past posts i have seen the kind of name you are making for yourself.

@pofolo
I believe you know Dodos very well. As far back as when "some people" didn't know anything about satellite TV. Call or get in touch with him my brother. Hear his story. And never trust any man who will intentionally step or try to step on another man so he can get to the top.

Truly1:


Nice question, methinks that we should be looking at the direction of IPTV for the future of satellite TV in Nigeria. Though, one major drawback is the huge data it consumes but with IPTV Decoder of an in-built VPN that compresses the data usage to between 80mb - 100mb per month, there seems to be a ray of hope at last on this IPTV issue. Lest I forget, another important constraint is strong network of 3g and above which IPTV requires to function seamlessly but this is still a mirage in Nigeria today and we should therefore be thinking on how to find a way out of this quagmire if we are to enjoy IPTV in Nigeria. Let us all wear our thinking caps and find a better way out for the future of Satellite TV in Nigeria, most espescially FTA or near FTA!

Truly1:

The answer is DVB S2+ IPTV Decoder, though not yet popular in Nigeria. It was designed to solve the huge data consumption problem of IPTV, thank you.

odilibe:
multi-sream broadcasts/streaming contents and hbbtv

@All,
What about a multistream IPTV DVB-S2 systems over free satellite broadband internet channels? You know, just to take care of the local 3G and LTE networks and resolve the data issues. Is there any headway in that direction?
Thanks

A warm greeting to all on this forum.
My best regards to all the originators still holding the forum down and the newbies who are hungry to learn and are innovative enough to shed some light on some of the things we should be looking at in our quest for true FTA and a liberated satellite TV scene.
Thank you all.

My post is simple, i'm here to ask everyone to look beyond the technological curve and ask ourselves, What's next?
What is next in the satellite TV evolution and what will be the new age of satellite TV?

If we are able to answer this question, then and only then we would know where, when and how to invest of money in order to get the best out of it all.

What is next?
That is the question i ask you all today.
Let's discuss and see where we are all going from here.
Thank you!

Not too sure about that but you might Google techno mate shop in Dubai or visit technomat website you will see their accredited agent there.
Good luck brother.

Thanks by the way.

Hi Everyone,

Just re-posting if it was missed. Kindly let me know if there is any shop is Lagos or Alaba that sells original Technomate receivers directly from the manufacturers in Korea. (Looks like when it gets to UK the price is highly inflated)

Thanks

@ Esuo,
Great piece my brother. Keep it up!

hbhatti:

@Swordswifter
Thanks for your reply. I am sure that none of these events happened. It was working alright just before. Turned off for a while (may be 2-3 hours) and then turned on back again and there was no sign of working, only blue light was flashing, thats it. I opened afterwards and there is no visible signs of any capacitor leakage/any burn out signs etc. Never had any problem before. Was working perfectly alright. May be powersupply board may have something wrong.

Regards
hbhatti

@hbhatti,

Your guess is as good as mine. The receiver will not boot if there is a slight imbalance in the power being supplied to the mother board. Remove the connector for the power supply from the main board and test the output of the connecter using the ground as the reference and the corresponding dc output values on the main motherboard as a guide. there are times that you might not see physical indications of damage of components by just looking at them. You need to test them first. When you are done make sure you replace all the connectors to the motherboard. Each one has a very funny way of behaving when not placed well back into their sockets. Remember, if you find it difficult working on your srt 4910HD, just send it to the technicians to work on it for you. Hope you start enjoying it again soon.

hbhatti:

@swordswifter
I like your post about installing external hard drive and this one. I have SRT4910 since 2009, it stopped working and only front flash light near power switch button is blinking. It is australian version of box. Can you please guide me how this can be fixed. I love this box, for the time being I am using an old Humax box, which has no MPEG 4 compatibility. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

@hbhatti

*What were the events that lead up to the receiver not working and the lights blinking?

*Was there/Do you have any power issues? Generator or mains around the time issue happened.

*Has the receiver been opened prior to it not working? If yes, what was done?

*Was there any software updates uploaded onto the receiver a day or two prior to it not working?

Answer these questions and i'd get back to you with a possible solution to your problem.

Sathob, it's been a while my brother. Things hasn't been the same. Get in touch with a brother lets make things happen.

Olofofo, you've got mail. Let's get in touch.

obnelly:
Olenyi and Swordswifter i tire for dem ooooo.They just allow the foreigners to take away our money.

@Obnelly,
I don't even know what kind of suites run their business models for them. Why milk a few whiles you can make it affordable and accessible for everyone whiles at the same time making your profit. I know guys from dstv will be reading this but we don't care. Personally i won't even subscribe for anything from them since they have cheated and milked Africans for far too long. If someone or a company is going to take advantage of this idea, i will only support it if it's by an African for Africa. Since 1998 or something till now they(DSTV) are still milking Africans. Why?

@Obnelly
The days of the SABC(s) and the true eTV for South Africa were the days. They were just 3 channels but you never needed anything else cause you were always entertained.

My question these broadcasters is, why are all the best TV stations in Africa not coming together so they can broadcast over the continent? All people would have had to do is pay their yearly TV licenses so that each country keeps the revenue they obtain from their citizenry? Some people are not smart at all.

JUST IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES IF THIS WAS TO HAPPEN.

Hello Everyone,

Another reply has been received from Arabsat. I will use the opportunity to forward D.lee and Lungsat's suggestion for the mean time. Still, i believe Arabsat is just the signal carrier. For things to happen at a faster pace, the MBC group must actually start showing some signs of commitment. If anyone receives a message from them to this regard, kindly let the house know and thank each and everyone for supporting this cause. We are the only people that can change the face of FTA in Africa. Enjoy your day!

NB: Will post the links to reach these companies within the hour. Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Our campaign has really gain grounds. 5 hrs ago we received a message from Arabsat indicating that our request to get the MBC SD free-to-air channels in Sub-Saharan Africa has been acknowledged at that they will be looking into it. This is the best news we've heard so far and we are glad to say you guys are all part of the people that really made this happen. Now Arabsat has heard our request, it's time we made the people of The MBC group hear our request. I still ask everyone to Send them emails, forward to them SMSs, tweet them or even post on their facebook walls. If they will encrypt their HD channels, let's all push so that the SD channels will be free for us. It can only happen when we all work together and speak with one voice. Let's all work at this and keep our fingers crossed for an exciting tomorrow. (y)

Adex70: @ sword i am 100% okay the other sd mbc available is on mena beam of uetelsat 7w 12322 v 27500 and it is not available on 2.4 in west africa not to talk of 1000m dish iam very sure of this but take your time on weekend dust the 3mts you have put it into use motorised it and you will not regret, iam enjoying my 2.4 as from 8pm till 8am i always enjoy the mbc package and yahsat is available on 3mt in lagos now i stay here till i hear from you.

@ Adex,

I'm going to work on it all day tomorrow (God Willing). Hopefully i should get those channels too. Then i'd invest in motorizing it. It's time the MBC(s) actually came home.

@ Malix,
Kindly forward the mail here mens.eric@yahoo.com
PM's on nairaland only inform you someone tried to reach you. You don't actually get the messages they'd want to send. Thanks

obnelly:

I still doubt if mbc SD is receivable on 90cm dish .Guys may be mixing up things here MBC HD and jsc1,2,9 and 10 is possible with 90cm on AB7 NWA beam but MBC SD and jsc1,2,3,4 and 4 i doubt if that is receivable with such dish.I am using 3m and if its receivable on 90cm my mbc sd should've shifted from 66% to 98% but i still have the same signal strength there.May be those guys receiving it are lucky than I am.
Let people with 2.4m try and update the house about this new discovery using 90cm to track off footprint signal.

@ Obnelly
My very sentiments my brother. What really baffles me is that their reports claim they've been watching it for about a year now. That i'm finding it very difficult to sink in as i've been on that bird this year, last year and the year before searching for the same thing but to no avail. What i got some time back was FOX Middle East until that bird was replaced with Atlantic Bird 7. That is the main reason i don't just want to jump on the claims without being fully convinced about their reports. I also did some checks yesterday. This is what i came out with. Flysat indicates the channels are from SamaCom with regards to the frequency that was provided and lyngsat also indicates it's from Du.

petfun4u:


I live in Abuja. The MBC I am talking about is that of 7w on this tp: 11938 v 27500

Channels are:
1. Al Arabiya
2. MBC 1
3. MBC 4
4. MBC 2
5. MBC 3
6. Citruss TV
7. Hawas TV
8. MBC Drama
9. Wanasah
10. Abu Dhabi Drama
11. Zee Aflam
12. MBC Action
13. MBC Max
14. Al Aan TV
15. in cluding one TEST transmission (this I opened using Biss key from google search).

Remain blessed.

Both websites are claiming it's on Nilesat 102 middle east beam. Previous footprint diagrams and what we have now have all not changed and i remember those times, even those with 3m pans were having difficulty pickings some transponders on Nilesat 201 and Nilesat 102.
But if now situations on the ground has changed from what we already know and that the signals have really been increased to be available on 1m dishes(whether pan or mesh), we want someone to really confirm this and let us know. If the info is accurate to the letter, the channels should be dancing on my screens by close of Tuesday.

Adex70: @ swordwifter i am in lagos and i am receiving the said bird on 90cm allthou they were all scramble without thecnosat hd dicoder you can not view them they are all hd hope this help, i have wrote them with the link you provide then to bring more of their package to us in west africa hope they will do that.

@ Adex
Long time. Hope you are good?! Anyway, we've have later correspondence and from what he is saying, he is not referring to the Scrambled MBC HD channels you'll need technosat decoders to unscramble. From what he is saying there is a free to air on that is available on 1m dishes for the countries i mentioned above. Those are the ones i want better clarification on. Whether they are channels that have been moved to the maghreb beam or the transmit power of the MENA beam has now been increased. You are aware the time we have spent in the past trying to get these channels but from their information, they've been watching it for about a year now. That is what i really want to understand. There is a 3m mesh lying outside i'm not even using now but it's the time i don't have. So not to go out again searching to an end without knowing if it's actually receivable or not, i want a clearer picture so i know what to look out for when i decide to go out there to track.
