odilibe: Obviously channels can come up on both H/V polarity on same tp...it depends on the LNB skew...although you can't get best signal quality when such thing happens.. cheers grin grin
Thank you for this point! My question is- with my signal strenght @ 91% on a 90cm dish (Astra), will skewing the lnb to either be V or H increase the signal to 100%? My location is Abuja. Thank you.

Dual lnb two decoders! Is that what you mean. Just wanna try it out. I mean extend it to another tv in the bedroom or please whats the best option of running multiple view with just a decoder. Thank you for being there.


Dual view lnb is meant for two rx's. If u want to extend to ur bedroom or another tv with one receiver, u have to use the RF out port at the back of the receiver. Although the new HD decoders from strong dont have an RF out port. So to achieve this u need to get an AV to RF converter/modulator from the market (most electronics dealers sell one for less than #500 for the ordinary one to #7000 for the original televes branded ones).

Or u can improvise with those old video players dat have channel settings dat have an av in provision and an rf out port. Even some dvd players have an av in and rf out port with channel settings feature. Regards.

It's been quite a while. Looks like our package couldn't sail through.

I guess we have to do it sometime in the new Year.

Cheers!

@ all just aquire a strong 4922 decoder and after mounting it on my dish I realise a signal drop of 10. that's Multi TV which had a quality reception of 90% now reads 80% MYTV Africa 78% all other stations ranging from 68E to 43W has recorded same reduction. I will be grateful if this phenomena could be explained. Do I need to realign my dish? Bye the way the dish is a 2.4m mesh converted to solid (pictures were presented on the forum some time ago)

Got banned for an hour and my post hidden fo replying ur post by Pyguru.


Anyway, for amos 5 and w3c, first track multi tv with 12523 v 19531. Fine tune the signal to the best % possible. Then input 12562 h 30000, and standing behind the dish, raise it up a little and to ur right. Play around dia and it should come. Den blindscan. Regards.

I have tried what you told me to do and i failed it only popped blue instead of red caz i use this philibao mpeg 2 receiver but the %age willbe around 80-89 bt very unstable. So shud i buy a mpeg4 str4669x11 or what? Another thing what does 'R and L' mean in c band terms how do i put them caz i m familiar with H and V' may be i can track Optma sports or do ineed a larger dish for c-bnd?

All along i thought u had a strong machine. Those instructions i gave were clear enough. Forget about whether it turned red or blue. The machine is ur's so u should know the colour it turns to when their's signal on the rx. Strong turns from red to green.

Another thing is dat its not all rx's dat are used for tracking as some dont have sensitive turner's dat can easily pick up signals.

Go borrow a strong rx from a friend. When u most have gotten ur signals, u can den fix ur rx back and scan.

R means v
L means h.

Regards.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by nanaba2009: 5:57pm On Dec 24, 2012
Hi,
I have just purchased strong decoder SRT4922 but have observed that it could not pick some signals, especially c band. Is it a problem of software? Would be gratefully if helpful suggestions could be provided.

Find Eutelsat 36A at 36.E.....then move your dish to the left (if u re standing behind the dish) just a bit and pull down the dish a bit....use 12523 v 19531.Am using a fibre. 1.8m offset dish which has a feedhorn.
