I downloaded the latest version 3.22 for 4950 but its giving me registration error when I try to install. where could I be going wrong.

Starlord...breathe in...breathe out.... then tell us exactly what you are finding hard in the keying in of the keys. Maybe some of us 4950hers have cracked it and may be able to assist. I find no problem keying in the keys myself.

Hi members, am also in the same predicament, using 4950h, read the thread about key-eing tried to key-in but nothing is working. Another thing i ve noted with 4950h is that the keys one is about to insert are already in the reciever, making the process harder. Wish i had gotten myself the famed 4922. Help with simpler method guys.

GITAHI; what model of 4950 do you have? There are several; 4950, 4950H, 4950M.... and their patches are different. Check that you download the right update for the right stb.

When I get to my stb later today, I promise to take you through step by step (with pictures) on how to do this. However, if there's a fellow ASASer who is close, he can do this favor. As for the keys that already exist, that means you have the right key, but that key has expired.
By the way, which channels are you trying to access using the keys?

All about Satellite tv, both FTA free to air and paytv available in Africa.

Sat gear in use plus more....

My srt is 4950h. Do we have an update for it? Could I be trying to install the wrong update?

If you are installing this: SRT4950H_V3.22P_20150515.zip from here: Sat Upload Center | Humax | Strong | Dreambox | Tv Channels | Sky Star 2 | Biss | Keys
then you are in the right direction. Make sure you save it in a flash that is clean (both in virus and other files). Ensure too that you unzip it (simply cutting it from the folder and saving it in the root folder of the flash). Once you do this, follow the normal procedures of uploading the software (Menu>USB menu> Select the software and press ok to upload). Try and report back. Good luck

I'll be glad Gich..
Want to access, discovery world-11371H, natgeo wild-11410H, star movies, star world & mbc's-12189H all on Yahsat 1A (52.5) irdeto/conax.
Guide me on which sat/channels recieve the said keys.
Am new to such and i'd request we get all the assistance when the need arise, especially on how/whom to post the 'senstive' threads.
I/we will devote time & grasp all i can frm the previous notes.
We aren't all teenagers & our IQ differs, again u cannot know everything.
Thanks again Gich.

Most welcome Oldersm. You can get those channels (and many more) fta if you direct your dish to 7W and 7E. The 4950H will do the rest for you. Don't belabor too much with the keys if that's what you are looking for. Check out this: Eutelsat 7A at 7.0°E - LyngSat and Nilesat 102/201 & Eutelsat 7 West A/8 West C at 7.3°W - LyngSat
That's the safest and easiest way. Otherwise, what you have mentioned is a no go zone (if you know what I mean).

The silent rule here is not to give out too much information that may jeopardize the spirit of FTA. There are numerous enemies of fta sprawling in the WWW and the trick is to be as discreet as possible (e.g. using coded language, DM, symbols like * etc). And yes, I agree we know something new everyday .
Viva FTA
