Yes you can do an upgrade on your current decoder but the fact still remains that you would be limited to MPEG-2 and this simply means no access to clear pictures and more birds(especiallythose broadcasting in MPEG-4).

the decoder is already FTA by design . . . its just only branded by MYtv.

as was said earlier just get any of the '69(x,xII or z)series.
good luck

@ jman77
welcome to the world of satellites.  With your 90 cm dish you are good to start. For now there is no interesting packages for you in the west with your dish dimensions. You should try and find a clear site to install your dish to face the east and also the west if possible without any obstruction by anything.
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by Nobody: 10:11am On Oct 01, 2011
The connectors you need is called f -connector. Buy your lnb and the cable you need is a coaxial cable normally used for tv antennas. For the decoder, 4669xII is at N12800 and 4669z is at N15k. After getting the materials, come back for installation help. Thanks

Hi peeps. I have been facing the monstrous challenge of how to record programs on my srt 4669x . Somebody should please, guide me on how to over-come this monstrous challenge cos i have diligently followed the instructions on my operation manual and yet i am not able to record anything on my flash drive from my srt 4669x. Is there any upgrade that i need to do to be able to record programs on my decoder?
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by jman77(m): 3:03pm On Oct 02, 2011

1.you need to be sure that the flash drive is an original one.
2.make sure that the STB has recognized the flash drive.(make sure you see "DVR ready "on your screen)
3.when your program of interest is on simply press "rec" on your remote control,you will see "prepare for record'.then the recording would have started.
. . . . you will notice a blinking 'rec' at the top left of your screen. . . .

4.to stop recording press 'stop' on your remote control . . .when asked 'are you sure' make sure you slsect yes on the screen and then press 'Ok'
on your remote control.

the file would have been saved on your flash drive . ,

NB if th flash drive is more than 4 gig you will need to format it to FAT 32 for the 69X to recognized.

5. you can now convert/play our files on the system using Iskysoft video converter.

hope this helps.

Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by ben4reel: 4:14pm On Oct 05, 2011
@freshp Thanks for ur insightful response to my enquiry. I followed ur instructions discreetly,but when i pressed the record button the following poped-up on my tv screen:storage device has a problem of speed or responsibility.
When i test the speed of the usb device, the following also poped-up: usb device is bad performance.
Could it be that my hp-made usb flash drive is a fake one?

@ben4real
i need to ask you a question . . . when and how much did you buy the drive? . . what is the size of the drive . . .(sorry too many I'm asking grin )
if it less that 1 gig then we may have a problem but to be sincere with you i think yours is a fake one, too bad eh? i say so because i have a 256mb drive that does the job of testing for me and so far it has never failed me.

from your response I'd say you have a bad or fake drive.

I'll suggest you go for any of these brands,sandisk,rundisk,or. . . (kai i forgot the 3rd one oooo),but any of the ones mentioned will not mess you up.
you that and get back to me.
cheers.
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by ben4reel: 11:39pm On Oct 05, 2011
@freshp
A million thanks, bros. It's a 4 gig hp drive and i bought it about five months ago at the cost of 2k.
I will try-out either of the two brand u suggested. Thanks, once again.
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by freshp(m): 9:20am On Oct 06, 2011
@bode4real,
yeah now that you said it . . a 4 gig hard drive for 2k is just not it. . .it should go for somewhere between 5k and above.
all the best ooo.
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by ben4reel: 8:58pm On Oct 06, 2011
@freshp
I combed all the available computer sales stores in my locality 2day and i did not find a sandisk or rundisk drive. All i could find was a sony, trend and hp brand drive. Do u know if sony and trend flash drives are reliable brand?
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by freshp(m): 11:24pm On Oct 06, 2011
@ben$real,
those days when the HP brand first came out they were the bomb but now its the fakes that are in the market. . including the ones you mentioned. . .
may be you would have to send to lagos o o o.
happy hunting. grin
