Tested both Strong Srt 4922 Hd & Strong 4950H over the weekend to see which of the two was more user friendly and easier to use.
Loaded on both, latest firmware patches
Srt 4922 HD is smaller in size than Srt 4950H>>>
Graphics User Interface>>>>>
Srt 4922 HD
Srt 4950H
Tests on Intelsat 20 C-Band setup plus Blind scan>>>>>>
First i deleted all the existing frequencies of Intelsat 20 C-band on both receivers before i tested blindscan to see which receiver was faster and and able to lock on more frequencies.
On Srt 4922 HD the setup is straight forward and easier>>>
To select the satellite of your choice on Srt 4922, you can either navigate upwards or downwards or sideways <<>>
Srt 4922 Hd has a dedicated Blind scan option which comes
STEP option when it comes to hunting for sat feeds.
For blindscan on Srt 4922HD, i selected STEP 1.
With STEP 1, the frequency is scanned per one digit so as to enable the receiver to lock on very low SR (synbolic Rates) used mainly for sat feeds.
A good example of
STEP 1 blindscan>>
I Scanned Eutelsat 7 East A yesterday for sports feed using STEP 1 and got the 2 live Dstv Kenyan matches feeds on Frequency 11063 H DVB-S2 8PSK SR 6111>>>
Srt 4922 HD blind scan
STEP 1 took 9 minutes & 27 seconds with a total of 256 TV
(fta/scramble) channels from 56 frequencies.
On Srt 4950H, The setup is slightly complex>>
Go to Antenna Settings
When selecting a satellite, you can only navigate upwards or downwards.
Once you get your preferred satellite i.e Intelsat 20, navigate side ways to the
SELECT TAB displaced in green in the image and enter select.
I selected 5150 for C-Band lnb frequency as i had done for srt 4922.
To Blind-scan, you scroll down to
START SEARCH tab and chose Blind-scan.
Srt 4950 HD got a total of 129 Tv Channels (fta/scrambled) from 25 Transpoders
From further investigating i noted the it could only run blind-scan on Horizontal frequeies.
Changed the Lnb frequency I.e 5150 >> 5759 >. 5150/5750 >>> & 5700 but noticed the same issue.
Changed the LNb power to 13V and was able to get the Vertical frequencies minus horizontal.
Tried to downgrade Srt 4950H with the original firmware patch from Strong Technologies website, but the receiver didn't upload the firmware as the firmware was to old as per receiver feedback.
Will wait for the new patch so as to clear this bug.
On srt 4922 HD navigated is either upwards/downwards or Sideways will on Srt 4950H channel navigation is either upwards or downwards.
Srt 4950H sideways navigation gives the option of ALL CHANNELS (which you can only scroll up or down) >>> FTA>>>SCRAMBLE>>>HD .
Will continue post later>>>>>
