Sophieamore1: @HAZARD1759,
60CM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO RECEIVE MBC 2 WITH VERY GOOD SIGNALS, EVEN IF YOU HIT 60% WITH IT THE SIGNAL WILL BE GOING ON AND OFF.
YOU JUST HAVE TO BUY A 90CM FOR MBC 2. WHAT I SAID IS "AT LEAST 59%". ITS VERY HARD FOR NEWBIES TO EVEN TRACK IT UP TO 59%, BUT IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO GET IT UP TO 65% ITS MUCH BETTER, BECAUSE IT USUALLY DROPS BY 5% OR MORE IN THE NIGHT.

EXCEPT ADEMIKE2002 WAS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE WHICH WE DO NOT KNOW, BUT FOR THOSE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, TRY THIS.
@FREDDYGAZ, THANKS BWANA!!!

On 60cm dish i have MBC2 with 58% and sometimes goes off and on

andrewbeltran61: Hello House, please i have 2 dish ( 60cm and 90cm) and i have 4 lmb.
I want to put 2 lnb in 60cm and 2 lnb in 90cm.

Please can someone tell me best satellite to track and TP. My decoder is mytv srt4922A and i am in Ghana. I am also interested in leagues matches. I will wait for a detailed info to track.

Thank you in advance
in your 60cm, add 2 lnb for 36e and 28.2f. As for 90cm, u can track both astra4A/sirus4 and eutelsat 7e together on it but it depends on how proficient you are.
It will do u good if you use that 90cm for these three satellites Dstv, Multi tv and amos5 and thereafter use 60cm for mytv or any other satellite at your will that is receivable on 60cm.
HERE ARE THE TP FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED SATELLITES.
For 36e, use 12245h27500 and blindscan for the free channels to pop up.
For 28.2f, use 12523v19531 no need to blindscan just press "ok" on your remote and wait a little, there are 21 channels there that will come up.
For astra4A/sirus4, use 12015v29950.
for eutelsat 7e, use 12728v/h 30,000 in this satellite, there is no constant polarity/lnb tweakening for it, do tweak ur lnb while tracking it.

What's ur signal level on the Dstv channels and is ur rx MPEG4 complaint?


Regards.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Gnsatelec(m): 2:33am On Aug 25, 2013
I agree with u bros, pple have to read through this forum b4 asking question, i register few months ago and since then i been reading on some topic that i have interest in. My problem is some pple aren't ever sat installer and done have the interest to learn but to confuse pple. On the receiver topic i been installing fta for pple like amos5 and eutelsat16 used one dish and one lnb and multitv on top, most of the receiver srt4663xii, 4669xii and other don't receive infinity and consat signal perfectly. But srt4922hd openbox s9hd and some good hd receivers work perfectly. So i recommend pple who love fta to upgrade to hd receivers the are best solution for today fta. Forgive me for my bad English. Thanks

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by olenyi: 8:08am On Aug 25, 2013
Also select another ku sat and input those freq. Lets see if it will work now. Some decoders have a funny way of rejecting freq's when another freq a little like it is already stored within that sat name. (remember to set ur Diseqc for the new sat)

INSTALLING A 12v FAN ON THE PCB OF AN SRT 4910 HD DECODER
This is just to help improve the cooling system of the receiver and to help you increase the longevity of the components. It will in no way guarantee the freezing and or unnecessary rebooting of the receiver when the leaking current accumulates back onto the circuit board. Use the method i posted in my earlier post to solve that problem. The things you'll require are;
* Soldering iron
* Soldering Lead(quality type for neat soldering)
* cleaning brush(for elctronics)
* PVC sellotape
* Screw driver
* 12v cooling Fan(Got a specialized fin type on a microprocessor of a PC graphics card)
* 2 pieces of wire strips
* Some white glue

Disassembling the srt 4910 HD receiver
The are 5 screws holding the outer casing together. A screw at each side of the box and three more at the rear end of the receiver. First unscrew this and take the cover off. Now unscrew the two screws holding the front panel of the receiver and gently but carefully remove the power connector, the front panel connector and the cam/card reader module connectors. Then remove the front panel usb connector and slide the front panel forward to release it from the lower case. *Remember what you take from where and keep the set of screws you remove from each slot together. Now turn the back of the receiver. You have five screws here. Unscrew all the five screws and keep them safe. Two of these screws are threaded differently. One is on the digital optical out interface and the other is inbetween the RF-In and RF-Out connectors. Be careful you don't mix these two screws. When screwing them back and you face a bit of a challenge, stop and check the threading of these two screws so that you don't damage their slots. Still at the rear, there are four more auxiliary screws you need to take of the receiver. Two of these screws are like knots on a bolt and are placed on the LNB input and the Loopout connectors at the back of the receiver. Unscrew these two and take off their washers too. Now unscrew the other two screws that hold the RS 232 connector at the back of the receiver. Now move on to the main PCB and unscrew the four screws left on the board. There are also two tiny screws that holds the cam module in place on the lower casing of the receiver. Use the appropriate screw driver (a small headed star screw driver) to get these screws out and now you can easily take of the PCB to start your installation.

Preparation
Make sure you twist the edges of the two pairs of wires and apply a small amount of lead on the edges. You do this so you don't apply unnecessary amounts of Lead on the PCB in the cause of your installation. After this, clean the tip of your soldering iron and attach the two pieces of wire to the terminal at the base of the socket of your fan connector. It is important you get a fan with it's own socket. This will enable you easily replace it in the future when it becomes weak or gets damaged.

Installation



The area circled in the first image is where the power connector is connected. If you look closely you will see the power values written besides each terminal. Turn over the PCB and shift the board so that the bottom terminals are now placed at the top left-hand side of the board as indicated in the second image.



We are looking for a 12v power source so look for the terminal that is indicated GND and another that is indicated 12v and where they appear at the base of the PCB. Note these points and heat up your soldering iron. (For my board counting from the right of the lower pins at the base of the PCB, GND falls on the 6th terminal whiles 12v falls on the 8th terminal). There are different versions of this receiver (Australia, Middle-east and Africa). I haven't seen those boards yet though i hope they are the same so always confirm where your GND and 12v terminals are before you start any soldering. Do not apply extra lead if possible. Just heat the one on your wires and the base terminals till they bond together. Clean the tip of your soldering iron and do the same for the other terminals. Now turn over the PCB and connect the power connectors, the front panel connector and the connectors for the cam/card reader on the mother board. Make absolutely sure you haven't soldered any too terminals together or any loose hot lead has fallen anywhere on the motherboard. If you are sweating too make sure non of the sweat has fallen on the PCB. Now connect your fan into it's socket and conduct your initial test.



Switch on the mains from behind the receive and check the direction of flow from the fan. It is advisable the air blows out of the PCB rather than into the PCB. If that is not the case, you can swap the wires for the GND and the 12v at the base to reverse the polarity and change the flow of the rotation of the blades of the fan.

After that is done, turn off the receiver from behind, remove the fan connector and layout the wire at the PCB as shown in the fourth image.



Fasten the wires in place with pieces of PVC sellotape and fit the fan socket connector close to the edge of the PCB with some white glue. Connect the sockets for the fans and apply a medium but generous portion of the white glue on the bottom of the fan and place it on the cooling fins on top of the CPU of the SRT 4910 HD.







You are now done with the installation.

You can now start fixing everything back in the reverse manner in which you took it out.

NB: If you don't want the messy method of fixing the leaking voltage on the SRT 4910 HD as i had posted some days earlier, you can fold up some PVC sellotape on the screw holes on which the PCB rests and fasten your screws through it. This should most definately serve the same purpose of insulating the outer casings. the only draw back is that you'll have to take the decoder apart to get there.

You can also watch the video of the testing phase here

http://youtu.be/E8mN9h8m9fc

@swordswifter
I like your post about installing external hard drive and this one. I have SRT4910 since 2009, it stopped working and only front flash light near power switch button is blinking. It is australian version of box. Can you please guide me how this can be fixed. I love this box, for the time being I am using an old Humax box, which has no MPEG 4 compatibility. Thanks in advance.
