Often times, installers have been known to receive nasty
electric shock from poorly earthed decoders as a result of not switching off before removing f-connectors
from decoders.

Please lets be guided.

Just my 2 cents.

@George_D.

I must confess that this has been my lot for countless times. If all the little jabs i've received over the years were to be combined at once, it'll be enough to stretch out a horse. grin . And it keeps repeating itself.

@SULIEMAN3,

That process of removing the RF connector from the decoder without first switching off power resulted
in the negative and positive ends of your RG 45 cable being bridged together and hence your ic being burnt.
That was why your decoder was displaying 'LNBF' on the front panel. Most times a lot of us do this especially
when we are in a . We get away with it without any consequence but on a few occasions like yours, disaster
happens. It is a very bad practice we must learn to avoid. Always take time to switch off your decoder from
the back on and off switch before changing cables. Often times, installers have been known to receive nasty
electric shock from poorly earthed decoders as a result of not switching off before removing f-connectors
from decoders.

Please lets be guided.

Just my 2 cents.
thank you bros.
you really got the actuall fact there. just like you were there with me.
hope i should now go for the changing of the burnt ic? though i'm still looking for the one that corresponds with the number of the burnt one to replace it.
thank you bros.

segxes23: Olenyi,pls answer my humble question

That is Amos 5 @ 17'e right? Its possible. But to get stable signal on the Ait/daarsat channels, it's advisable to go for 90cm if possible. Track with 11881 v 27500. Try and get the highest signal % possible. Then blindscan. It's a little above multi tv/ joy tv position. Get joy tv with 12.523 v 19531 first, then input the above freq and raise ur dish a little up and to the right while standing at the back of the dish.

Regards.

The rx is just like any other rx and can be used for anything FTA. Just dat mytv made it in such a way dat it doesn't have patch updates, thus making it useless for future modifications if u understand what I mean. It's more or less made to cater mainly for mytv subscribers.

The pairing is done so u can't use the smart card on any other receiver. Just like Dstv. The smart card is married to one receiver for life.

Regards.
thanks bro...you've said it all.

olenyi:

Ur proposition is not possible. Are u tired of paying for Dstv? If yes, disconnect the cable from the Dstv setup and use it for strong. But if u want to use the two at the same time, then go run another cable thru the window or ceiling or something. Regards.

Regards.

thanks man

Why not use a flash? But if u most, go to Crosat.us and download SRT LOADER. Dat's what u use on pc for software upgrade.

Using the USB port on your receiver ,You must attach...a wireless usb adapter specified for your 4922a receiver,which will enable the receiver to search for available wifi devices....before using internet sharing /hotspot from your android phone...just a tip. ..Note this won't be usefull if your receiver does not support wi-fi..check specification...

@SULIEMAN3,

The burnt IC is definitely the problem. Your decoder should come back to life as soon as you replace it.

i managed to track irib on 20 east using a 1.8m solid pan dish very easily. next i tried tracking the same bird with a 1.8m prime focus 6 petal dish with difficulty. i had to bend the top and bottom two petals inwards slightly to obtain maximum signal on al jazeera channels 4054 l 27500. i used the strong, wiztech, eurolink lnbs, but failed to hit green.then i used eurostar , hit green one go. see lnb skew on pictures
