Those indicated as DTV Ready have analogue tuners. What they mean by DTV Ready is that they can be integrated with an external DTV Set Top Box, whereby you use your TV remote to control the STB. But that should not be a big worry since DTV STB's are available in the market and offer more flexibility than the built-in DTV Tuners. Just buy an aftermarket DTV Set Top Box e.g Openbox V8 Combo and connect it to your DTV Ready TV. It's much cheaper to do so. Case in point, A Samsung 46H7000 with an inbuilt DTV tuner goes for about Ksh.178,000 at Nakumatt. The same set without an in-built DTV tuner i.e. DTV Ready, goes for about half that much. All the other features are identical. An Openbox V8 Combo with all it's extra features goes for about 7k. Do the math.

Muzombozi there are cheaper Samsung led TVs for as low as ksh 26,000 32" which have an inbuilt DVB t2 tuner,if his interest is dtv t2 signal,no need for an external DVB decorder, but it he need to enjoy both t2 and s/s2 signals,openbox v8 combo is the best of all.

KRM The model referred to there is a Series 7, 46 Inch. It doesn't come cheap and i just used it as an example. Of course there are cheaper models as well as more expensive ones.

The other way is for those who have the version that is working to send the file by email to those who have a problem with theirs. I have done this with an ASAS mate who had a problem loading his 4950H and him and his stb lived happily thereafter.

KRM, Today I acquired another OpenBox V8-Combo (from Mr. Muzombozi) whose software version is V3.73.26 of 28/4/2015.
On scanning 7East, I discovered that it cannot decipher the D*g*t**k goodies unlike my first decoder whose software version V3.6.167 of 29/01/2015 worked instantly.

Following your instructions above, I visited *Netkeysat.net* and downloaded a zipped file called “SoftCam by eniz9 New Keys Fix 26-05-15” and unzipped its contents into a USB stick (a certain file called “softcam.key” that is 103Kb); selected a strong D*g*t**k channel such as E2; switched OFF the decoder; inserted the USB stick; switched ON the decoder; then followed:

Menu>Tools>Conditional Access>Press 6666>Key Edit>MGCAMD BISS>Import

After the importing was complete, I pressed exit and ……. the E2 channels and other SD goodies came alive!
Next: to avoid risk of “roasting” / “frying” the chipset (just in case), I switch OFF decoder using remote while USB stick was inserted; then switched OFF the main power switch; removed the stick; then switched ON the box normally. Now the new box has been "cloned" successfully! The Softcam Key supports a host of other services too, including on Thaicom 78.5E and Apstar 76.5E.

Simple lesson learnt: If the V8 combo is pre-loaded with a software that can support MGCAMD BISS, there is no need to load a complete software version that could be around 6MB; the 100Kb file will bring home the goodies.
Thanks KRM for your tutorial, and Muzombozi for bringing China closer to home! ASAS re-loaded.

Tiger HD, iStar HD & Redline HD satellite receivers are also pre-loaded with software that supports MGCAMD BISS. A file extension ".txt" is added to the “softcam.key” file for software recognition by STB.

Unlike OpenBox V8-Combo,there is no "Import". The “softcam.key.txt” file is uploaded into STB via EMU Key File Browser: Menu >>Setting >>Press 6969 >>Supersetting/ Server Setting >>EMU >>EMU Key File Browser.

Inversely, EMU CAS Keys can be saved to USB stick via the "Backup EMU Key" button.

Alternatively latest patch/software, EMU CAS Keys & channel list can be uploaded to STB by connecting to server via Internet Protocol.

#dqamau, no need to panic. tweak ur LNB in anti/clockwise direction and push back ur LNB. Stargold KU Band LNBf will give you good results.

 
Qimeu et al
1.4003 is an earlier model than 4200
2.Go for a model with an "AK" at the end assuming you are in Kenya and need a product destined for this market.
3. 4200 has an audio out for your home theatre while 4003 doesnt.
4. 4200 is slimmer, and has a better picture.
5. If budget not so tight go for a series 5 eg F5000, H5500 where you get more of everything
If you no apathy to other brands consider LG 551v,552v,551T,561T,540v,552u or a 5800 they are T2 and also have a sat tuner. Some pros are better USB, viewing angles are excellent and international warranty and they are 2014/5 models. it doesnt bite to have more for less.
Also consider Sony R420b,W674,W600B or a more pricier W800 and all of which are DVB T2
