Has anyone confirmed that the patch works as it should? I also tried deleting some channels and it just flickers but nothing changes...
 

Thanks for your detailed insight into the operations of both decoders bwana Kungu! So should we always choose step 1 1MHz when running a blindscan on 4922a?

All,
Has anyone succeeded in getting: Digiturk on Eutelsat 7A at 7.0°E (European beam) and the Nilesats (Nilesat 201 at 7.0°W and Eutelsat 7 West A at 7.3°W) on one dish, say 120Cm offset or 180Cm Prime focus?
If so, please share, including photos. That would be So Wonderful.

The news TPs on Nile 201 (CNN, BBC, Euronews, MTV, etc) can be found on the Digiturk package. This means, one could fix a main LNB for Digiturk and a second one for Eutelsat 7 West A at 7.3°W. These satellites are only 17 degrees apart (i.e., 7E minus 7W = 14).

That's my project for December when I climb the roof again! ......... ASAS symptoms are showing up in me again!

This should be possible, given that a multi-LNB mix of Nilesats (7West), SES5 (5 East) and Amos5 (17 East), all 24 degrees apart has been tried and found to be successful; (i.e., 17E - 7W = 24).

However, anyone close to there setups may try and share the results.

I have attached here a setup done by Mr. Freddygaz in September 2012 to generate some ideas ...........
Freddygaz, over to you and your great multi-LNB fixing skills!

Good morning Mr. Kungu1, yes my receiver asks for SID as well as VPID.

Good Afternoon drandonzero,

You will require the SID code for your wiz -999 HD receiver.

I have not had a chance to play with wiz -999 HD, but hopefully one of the following methods might help.

On Skybox receivers, you get the SID code of a scramble tv channel under biss by pressing the INFO button 3 times.
e.g we are looking for the SID of Pak sports on Paksat 1R.



For Skybox receivers, one requires both SID & CAID code.



You note down the CAID & SID code, then enter the said codes on Biss/constant word key table + current biss key of the channel you want to open>>>





Once you input the Caid, Sid and Biss key on both EVEN & ODD CW lines, press the Yellow button OK to save and exit....







On Strong 4950H receiver you get the SID code of biss coded channel in a different way.

Lets say we are looking for the SID code of IRIB VARZESH.

Select the coded channels which will be blank as it is scrambled>>>



On your remote select menu and go to CHANNEL MANAGER tab and select EDIT CHANNEL>>>>



Select the coded channel and note down the details displayed on the right>>>>>>




Details required include frequency, SR (symbolic rate) and SID code.




For IRIB VARZESH Frequency 3964 & 30000
SID code 0075




With the said values, Select ANTENNA SETTINGS, scroll down to the PATCH MENU



The activation patch code for Srt 4950H is F1 6969.

Enter Patch Menu and select Manuel Key>>>



Select the Biss table and press the gree button on your remote to add new biss key.



Select the line under Key with the 12 zero.

Eg enter 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 >>>



On the side of the screen you will note letters running down till OK.

Select OK to save biss key.

Next step, Press F1 to edit frequency plus SID code of the biss key you have entered>>>




The values we had noted ealier are frequency 3964 SR 30000 and SID 0075

Enter the said values as displayed below.

Frequency SID
03964 30000 0075




Scroll down the letters on your left display and select OK>>>




Save, exit and enjoy your biss coded channel>>>







One of the above solutions will most likely help you get and enter the SID code values on your receiver.

Happy Hunting












 


Good Afternoon Kikuyu ninja,

Just a few teething problems on 4950H.

The main issues i have noted are>>>

1. Issue with vertical Blind-scan on C-Band.
Tried firmware 206, 208 & 211 but the issue did not clear
Blind-Scan on ku-band both vertical and horizontal polarities is ok.

2. To enter encrytion codes on 4950H is more complex than 4922 HD.
On Srt 4922 to enter biss code of a encrypted channel is as easy as ABC.
No CAID, SID or other codes required, just the biss key.
On your strong receiver first activate patch with pin code 6969 again 6969

Select channel coded under Biss
Access Biss key table by entering pin 8280

On Biss key table select line you what to save biss key on e.g 1,2,3,4......>>>

Example>>>>>>

If the biss key for channel X is 12 3A BC 08 45 60 EF A1,



Enter the said key e.g on line 2 twice, exit, save and enjoy.

Currently no patch on Srt 4950H to open the goodies on Digit**k @ Eutelsat 7 east A,

3. RF output not stable.
Video not stable via Rf cable.

For a beginner this is slightly a complex receiver to maneuver about but stii has it upsides like 2 usb ports for either USB Moden, Wifi plus PVR.

Has a more advanced media player than Srt 4922 HD which is user friendly>>>>>>>







SRT 4922 HD media player>>>>>>>>




I wish they had a special code on the media players of both receiver to avoid deletion of data on large volumes of data on external harddisk.


Keep you posted on more
 
Am having some issues whereby JSC Sports channels and HD channels on 36E at times are showing no signal while other frequencies are okay(am using a diseqc) but when I put directly to the receiver no issues. I have changed the diseqc but the problem remains, what could be the issue?
