Adex70: @sammu,ilish,pidzo,gadotor and all who have 4930hd strong i have notice that the signal quality level bar of this box does'nt blink to front to determing if u are closer to hit green on any sat, it is not good to track any ofprint bird. Ur opinion is wellcome pls.yes it doesn't but if u are very good at it, that shouldn't be a problem.i have done sky uk with it. |

Ur opinion is wellcome pls. That was how 4669xes were reacting the very first time I tested one until updated. I guess an update of your box may circumvent the problem. Jest a thought!!! |

Ur opinion is wellcome pls.This issue you raising has come about with the latest updates. Initially the receiver was behaving exactly the way you are putting it, blinking in such a way that you could know you are closer to a satellite. If you could roll back to previous versions you will get the feature you are talking about. |

odilibe: lol,some pay-tv providers are just ready to rip consumers off,most of this channels are free to air ,of-course bbc news is free on nilesat and aljazeera news is free to air on intelsat 10 and eutelsat 28a and arabsat 5c while true movies is free to air on eutelsat 28a @ 28.2degrees east europe beam,and can be opened using biss key on atlanticbird @12.5west and that includes trace on 12.5 west europe beam ,they even have fox-fx,ait ,nta on their channel list ,i am quite sure fox-fx is free on nilesat 102, while ait and nta is free to on intesat.Having rights to show bundesliga or uefa doesn't make any differents ,for example Dubai sports a channel from U.A.E show bundesliga and this is fta channel,this provider won't make any profit in europe or the middle-east.The only reason people may go for such pay-tv providers is that the channels you say are free are hard or impossible to get here in the Southern part of Africa. But it is indeed a pity that one gets FTA channels and sells them. Their channel line up is appalling, no documentaries, no good movie channels (Zuku has very good movies),Uefa and Bundesliga are mostly on FTA platform. In short, UNATTRACTIVE! |

@adex70: I was also irritated by the situation where quality is showing 9% red and you just move the dish one centimetre to the left and quality jumps to 92% green , move another centimetre beyond that and it drops back to 9% red. My theory was that this is typical of the prime focus LNBs like Fuji. My premium x Hd LNB which is for offset dishes gives enough warning that you are near a sat. It never goes below 20% quality when there is no sat but as soon as it goes above 30% you know you are near a sat even if the TP is wrong. However if the problem you described is software related as others say thats news to me. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by obnelly: 10:41am On May 15, 2012 |
Lunsat lnb cannot tell if you are closer to a satellite only your receiver can do that.some receivers are more sensitive to signals than others.i once use technosat though its dead now.it very sensitive to signal .old strong receiver i can trade it for my hd receiver good for yracking too.i still like my dead technosat t888. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Adex70(m): 11:42am On May 15, 2012 |
@obnely u are correct, lunsat it is the box, i will download all the software version for this 4930 and see wich is the best as @ now my 69x is better than it in term of signal tracking. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Brite02(m): 11:44am On May 15, 2012 |
Lucky me. Last night i tracked intelsat 7/10 ku 68.5E with my 60cm dish here in PH i got all stations with highest signal of 77 percent, using mytv tp.. So i guess, using 90cm is no more compulsory. ***For those who want to hook this satellite** |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Lunsat(m): 1:34pm On May 15, 2012 |
@obnelly, I suspect each of us has half the answer. Ofcourse some receivers are more sensitive than others, but so are some LNBs. But we were not talking about general sensitivity; we were talking about the "tunnel vision" or "Cliff edge" phenomenon when tracking a signal. My theory was that the problem is more in LNBs that have a narrow view of the dish than those that have a wider view of the dish. Personally I have found that placing a Fuji prime focus LNB at the focal point requires more precision in pointig it to the centre of the dish than placing a Eurostar offset LNB.Its only a theory, I could be wrong. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by obnelly: 2:46pm On May 15, 2012 |
Lunsat'you are correct your choice of lnb has to do with your choosen f/d when designing your dish.most people dont know this. |

Brite02: Lucky me. U need to sharpen u tracking skills, because u can get upto 97% quality on Intelsat 7/10Ku @ 68.5E |

loluc90: Want to believe srt 4940 is strictly for mytv,I also tried imputing the cccam stb stuff on and it kept telling me not compatible.just my observation.I've never tried this SRT 4940 or seen one. But looking at reports from users I believe this is a NO GO AREA. Those wanting to enjoy Mpeg4 and HD should try 4930 or its predecessors and not this gadget. Just thinking aloud. |

The dark side can never win but our problem is now we are lazy and busy too there is a new way which some peoples use to watch BB without dongle or CCcam account and it pay a lot of time . it make peoples lazy and al time busy.the time they will use for here on FTA they will use to calculate on how break and put it in .so this things too need a lot of time and i think this is what taking away the gurus because they would not use internet .is like lotto so they do calculate all the times so they will never have time at all until this thing is off |
