Simply restart the box. If that doesn't work, connect the box via the LAN port using a router, then remove the router and connect directly using the 3g modem. It should work. Remember to apply the correct settings for each connection.

Thanks bro, will try this trick and see if i can succeed.

Thanks for the tip, i have the APN entered but no phone number. i will put the phone number too and try. my only question is, Is it the phone number of the sim card in the modem?, am asking this becoz your example looks too short to be a phone number.

The number is correct use *99# that is the one used by modems across all networks.

Yes *99# is the correct dial-up number for all the mobile ISPs in Uganda. There are others (which may not work for some mobile ISPs) , but *99# is an all around. Please report back if you succeed. I've also been having trouble to connect a Starsat SR-2000HD HYPER, with three Orange huawei modems tried so far but in vain, yet I succeeded with an SR-1000HD PREMIUM version of the starsat using the very modems and APN settings I fed in the SR-2000HD. Which mobile provider are you using? I want to know what will work for you - maybe I can use it to work out my "dilemma".

deesat bro i have the exact dish size but with no lnb arm now my problem is fabrication of the same.pls kindly measure the total length n indicate the distance to the elbow and pm me or post it if u may..any other member may help me too.i will highly appreciate.

I know to the veterans this is not exciting at all, but for the ones a bit younger in the ASAS malaise it may be worth trying. I have for the first time installed DishPointer Pro for android on my phone. And it is a blast. The version I am using is meant for android 2.0 though I am using Android 4.2 but it works all the same. It is amazing to see how accurately it seems to alighn with my dishes! It appears to be for pay on googleplay though.

For one to align themselves to get the snapshot, one needs to be behind the dish (prime focus dish with the center piece plate removed). Using parallax one aligns the phone camera lens and the LNB to the center of the dish and then start the application and watch the magic.

It's radius of the length of dish.100cm divide by 30cm =3.33 multiply by 12 inches=39.9 inches that is Diameter of dish.So the length of LNB holder is 19.5 to 20 inches long.

 

[Cheupec]

there are the photos...........

Kudos! Thanks bro. That is really encouraging! Wah! Asas is a serious disease. I can imagine what is going to happen when you decide the 8ft dish is not big enough, si itakuwa ajabu! Sindio tutakuwa tunacheki matransponder ziko na footprint za Sweden ama Norway!

A good friend of mine has had his bein sports smart-card lost by his young kid. Are they replacable? What are his options??

 

[afrocentrix]

[afrocentrix]

The DreamBox perhaps? But be ready to dent your wallet. It almost costs as much as a used Vitz!

According to
a post made two days
ago on their website,
DStv has said that
starting from the 12th
of August, SuperSport
1-7 will be changed to
simulcast from dual
cast channels. This
means channels from
201 up to 207 will be
merged with their
HDTV counterparts i.e.
211-217. This means
HD channels will share
the same channel
number with the SD
channels.
HDTV decoders will
pick up the HDTV
signal automatically
while SD decoders will
pick up the SD signal.
The channels names
will change to
SuperSport* HD in
your program list if
you have an HD
decoder and
SuperSport* if you
have a normal
decoder, where * is
the channel number.
Only channels 1-7 will
have an HD feed. For
those who like the
local and other African
leagues like the
Netone Charity shield
which are normally
broadcast on
SuperSport 9 there
will be no HD stream
for you yet unless the
matches are broadcast
on channels 3-4.
Ever since the start of
2014, the SuperSport
channels have been
broadcasting in dual-
cast mode ostensibly
in preparation for this
upgrade. The content
on these HD channels
has been virtually
identical to the
content that is shown
on the SD channels so
this change is purely
cosmetic for the most
part. Those with
Standard Decoders
will have noticed that
their SuperSport 3
was usually shown as
SuperSport 3A in the
channel list and
attempting to tune in
to the actual
SuperSport 3 channel
usually yielded the
infamous E16 error
even if you were a
Premium subscriber.
Also when making
payments via EcoCash,
premium bouquet
subscribers are asked
to pick their decoder
from the USSD list.
This can present a
challenge to those
who are not
particularly tech
savvy so hopefully
the need to do this
will go with this
change. There is also a
small chance that a
couple of premium
bouquet subscribers
with HD decoders
might have failed to
take advantage of the
HD channels.
What it means for
you as a Subscribe
As I have said, the
changes are more
or less cosmetic.
The Sports
Channels join the
MNET channels
(101,
103,105,106,107,
108,113) which
are already
broadcast in
Simulcast mode.
This means you
will spent less
time changing
channels. It also
means the less
tech saavy will be
able to watch HD
channels
automatically.
This leaves
Discovery HD
(channel 180) in
the cold as the
only dual-cast HD
channel on DSTV.
Maybe because
there are slight
differences in
content between
the HD channel
and its SD
content.
Those with the
South African
Compact accounts
(please don’t give
me any of that
“It’s illegal stuff”
we know what
you did.) can now
watch SuperSport
3 and 4 in HD.
Only the rich can
view content in
HD. The
Zimbabwean
bouquets are
arranged in such a
clever way that
only those with a
Premium ($77)
bouquet can
watch the HD
channels.
Local league
matches and
other minor
leagues will
continue to be
shown in pathetic
SD on Supersport
9. Probably not a
bad thing given
the pathetic state
of our stadiums.
There is still a lot
of content that is
not in HD. So
programs like
Football Funnies
will show up in
SD quality even
when broadcast
in HD.
With the whole world
moving towards HD
and 3D like this it is
hard not to criticize
ZBC and its
monopolistic hold on
our market – these
are the folks that
never adopted wide-
screen! They are being
left behind with each
passing day, and
despite assurances
that the our
broadcasting
infrastructure will
improve in 2015, we
all know it’s not going
to happen.
Meanwhile as an aside
to fellow internet
users, DStv now has
an Express from
America feature. This
means popular
American TV shows
like Under the Dome
are shown on MNET
channel 101 within
24 hours of their
release in America.
Since this is a
simulcast channel it
means you can watch
these in HD without
visiting The Piratebay
or Torrentday. This
might not be an
exactly zero day
release that you are
used to but at least
it’s legal and timely.
With a PVR capable
decoder you can
greatly reduce your
torrenting and
downloading
activities and do
something legal for
once in your life.
