twinskenny:

well said, i have tried both 69x and my hd 4900 still no audio


i am not sure if someone has laid hand on the infinity decoder, to give us updates whether it can blindscan or not,

I think something should be wrong somewhere if the 4900 is not decypher the AAC audio format cos according to its manual in the strong website it has encoding capacity to decypher the AAC audio format. Again, one can also try to blind scan cos attimes this people switch from VERTICAL to HORIZONTAL hence, making some slight changes in their brodcast maybe its part of the test process.

I have infinity Switch sound, loud and clear on 4910. S/W 225p

@twinskenny
u didn't list the software version on your srt HD dxr

Is it the original firmware that comes with your 4910 or an update?
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by sathob(m): 9:27am On Aug 26, 2010
@2legit2qt
this 225p is an update from crosat. I do this periodically, when necessary.

@t'kenny
from strong's official website, check the technical specs for 4910 and 4900 you will find out that HE-AAC compliance is listed for 49100. It is not listed under 4900. However, I'm not convinced that 4900 will not do AAC. update the S/W, go to Menu, Channels, Add Channels, choose the sat & freq. for switch, input the APID, VPID and PPID, select the video format for switch then, go to Audio and check the various audio formats. you can repeat this for other audio formats.
u know, i could not get audio from Smart-Tv when i laid hands on 4910. at that time, they were transmitting audio in HE-AAC, after updating with 224p i went through the above procedure , entered APID, PPID,VPID tried all the various audio formats and was lucky with MPEG4.
Do u see the point, when i scanned for the channels and pressed audio the format was HE-ACC and I was not getting sound, but when i went through the manual procedure i got sound with MPEG4.
now i am getting sound without having to go through all the above, the audio comes with the default format which is aac.

i foresee a time when providers will adapt to acc format for their audio x'missions, so all prospective dxer buyers should take note.

i think that it has a lot of benefit . . but the most important is that it increases the (quality)signal strength of the STB
for instance infinity was always @34% before upgrading now i get it @75-80%.

EDITED

@ BOLY

pls check this link for your dbox1

i hope that it helps you.




The new 69x firmware. One important benefit also is that, you can record 2 programmes from 2 different channels simultaneously.

Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by 2legit2qt(m): 12:31pm On Aug 30, 2010
@all

My new 4910 is not showing MULTITV, CRTV, GTV & LTM TV But only INFINITY TV. What can i do about it? Am using the same setup i use for my 9x which is showing ALL, The signal strength is at 93% or thereabout but the 9x is picking it fine, while the 4910 is not.

Am afraid that if i tweak the LNB "AGAIN" (as i did for the 9x b4 it picked the channels), the 4910 might show them while the 9x will not pick it.

What should i do in this case cos am using both stb (with 1 dish and a dual LNB) in different location of the house?

@microgi@nt

thanks, but out of in-patience i tweak my LNB yestanite to the 10 o'clock spot sombody recommended for me with the 9x sometimes and which i never get to do. I rotate the LNB to that spot and it worked. I can NOW recieve ALL the channels. I just noticed that at a particular spot i'll recieve Multi tv and not others and at another spot i'll recieve infinity with no video on multitv and gradually i was rotating the LNB untill i got to the spot where i recieve ALL, and i realised that it was that PARTICULAR 10 o' CLOCK SPOT dat was recommended when i have viewing problem with my former 9x.

This FTA stuff one cant just stop learning new things each and everyday. So challenging

Oga microgi@nt, av u check my post on HIGH DEFINITION RECEIVERS? If not abeg do. I also send some request to your mail.


I go dey wait 4 your expert opinion o,

a total of 21k should nail u those birds, apart from those one u mentioned there is also infinity tv, trust it worth it,

Vox AFRICA have been added to infinity channels but with no audio on my str. 9x cool

Same on my 4910, but am still working on it cos the audio is AAC and fom my last count 4910 is able to decode AAC. Same thing happen to SWICTH but fter doing some MAGIC the sound came out. Don't know much about 9x format but after manually adding the channel the VOX audio will come. Will do that 2day and let you know how far.
