Why 1.57p? download the latest version, extract the software into a clean usb drive, update and enjoy.

I discovered with my srt4950h that the stb wont recognize the update from the phone memory or the micro card. In fact I even saved it into a micro SD mounted on the safaricom modem but still could not recognize it. I had to save it into a flash and hook it up to be able to update.

Mine give me those curious looks when they see me up there with gadgets turning and tweaking, but would not ask. Maybe we should follow FTA-Nash's advice and advise them to buy a DVB S2 stb then we sambaza the goodies to realize what we do on the roof.

Fellow ASAS victims,
I stumbled on this image in today's DN about the data bundles. While the picture was about the lady using her mobile phone, I could help notice the nice offset (BUD?) at the background.
What kind of an lnb is that? Here below is the image (Source: Daily Nation)

It is a zip file. You have to unzip it for your decoder to be able to read the file. You can install unzipping app for android or Windows mobile. Then you wont need a PC.

LNB Low-Noise Block Converter
A block upconverter (BUC) is used in the transmission (uplink) of satellite
signals. It converts a band of frequencies from a lower frequency to a higher
frequency. BUCs are generally used in conjunction with low-noise block converters (LNB). The BUC, being an up-converting device, makes up the "transmit" side
of the system, while the LNB is the down-converting device and makes up
the "receive" side. An example of a system utilizing both a BUC and an LNB
is a VSAT system, used for bidirectional Internet access via satellite.

Marto: I wanted to know what type/model that LNB on that image is. It has such a long neck that would make tweaking a walk in the park.

Hi Vince9. I was wondering where you disappeared to. I thought you had been healed of the ''very disturbing ASAS disease''. MBC's almost coincided with your come back. they are live and clear at their accustomed bird. rescan your srt. The tp is also provided a few pages back from here. karibu nyumbani. mhm?? karibu hospitali.

Members,

I would like to inform you that you will soon be having your own Kenyan Mux on a satellite very soon. Although you might not know it, and I did not want to to reveal it, this site is behind such a move and none other than Wakilongo was the unsolicited advisor to the media fraternity.

I want to share with you a letter I wrote to all the media owners in Kenya on January 3, 2014 which later I was invited to give a small talk to the technicians despite my novelty to science. Here is the email in its original form, that might soon transform hunting to the newbies:

Hello Kenyan Media Owners,

I greet you and happy New Year.


I am a Kenyan consumer of your product and I am interested in the ongoing push and pull on the digital migration platform.


I am encouraged by your steadfastness in ensuring that I am privileged to receive your products without being subjected to paying monthly fees.


However, as matters stand now, I am beginning to feel that your good fight might be lost because the same feelings tell me that some mandarins close to the government want to benefit directly from this migration.


You realize that the CCK is not only interested in having me pay for receiving your product, but you will equally have to pay around 130,000 Ksh for every megabyte that will carried by the so-called carriers. This will not be small cash and you had better start looking for alternatives.




This having been said, I wanted to put a humble suggestion in your stable. I do not know whether you have ever heard of Free To Air Satellite TV. So far, Tanzania, Congo, South Africa and the Arab world have achieved FTA satellite TV without bothering about Digital migration.


What is FTA satellite TV? This is when media players in a given region converge and agree to put their signal on a certain satellite that is accessible in their region and makes it Free To Air, in that somebody would only require an FTA decoder and a satellite dish to access the signals.





I can talk about the Arab experience. All major and minor broadcasters in the arab region have put their signal on Arabsat and Nilesat and every arab home has a satellite dish facing either Nilesat or arabsat.




What you need to do as media owners is identify a satellite service provider that will give you a transponder (space) to carry your collective signal and pen an agreement. It is so cheap you will laugh. My suggestion is that you should target popular satellites like the ones carrying DSTV or Zuku and lease space on them. This way, existing Zuku/DSTV clients will not have to buy the dish but will only get an FTA decoder and plug and play.


This way, you will have flexibility and once the idea chatches on, then many people will be buying this equipment to watch your channels. Once this is settled, continue pressing with the FTA battle with CCK but as matters stand now, once the analogue signals are switched off, then you are blacked out.


I could go on and on, but the idea I have given you has succeeded elsewhere and it is time you tried it here too.


Regards,


Sam



All this advice is because we have such a forum. We are actually drivers although we might not know it!

Now that some of our esteemed members are suggesting that ADN networks are soon on satellite, your beloved SRT 4950H are available at certain shop called fecom electronic, electronic center along luthuli at cost of 6k. 500sh cheaper.

By the way who has an idea where these channels (ADN networks) may be headed to?
