@blex and other gurus, at times my 4922HD decoder will not switch on for days but flash 8 and may start switching on thereafter which baffles my wife alot and myself,
Any solution.

my beloved brother mine was like dat too.not 4922 mine was 4930 i had to take it back to where i bought it.the dearler send it back to strong office in abuja for repairs.i nly paid for transportation of #1000.i refused to give it to those road repairer who will keep giving u stories.this should be a lesson for those that intend buying 4922D.a member of this forum once said dat the ic get burnt easily.s before buying think.money no easy get ooo.talkless to waste

pls guru n d house.can 2.4pan dish get hotbird in ondo state akure.if it can wat are d channels i can get.pls i need answers.u guys should not press d ignor button on me.i humbly ask d house
...from that your your location and for better reception you need!3.4m dish for Hotbird!easy TPs to receive are 11334(arqiva)/11804 (rai)/11355(sky Italia)/11747(du)/11373(mediaset)/11727/11766(rai)/11526(SRG SSR!open with key)/11488/12224/11317!
Hotbird track frequency is 11334H! other sky Italia transponders except 11355V are hard to receive! And 80% of Hotbird channels are scrambled and less of english channels!

Happy haunting! grin

@ganex.If your receiver is not older than 30 months,then it is still under warranty.In that case send it to Abuja.

The question is how many of us are using 4930L.I mean why would I waste my time and money on 4930L when there are far better Linux boxes like Dreambox,Vu + (with quad core processor),etc,out there.

is either ur lnb has gone bad or ur lnb port at d back of ur rx is faulty. Sign 8888 implies lnb related fault. So change ur lnb first n notice any change.

..Yeah nilesat is the better option for fta!as usual you will get MBC movie package on 7west, some English channels like city7tv,CNN,pressTV,france24,BBC,aljazeera news,I FILM,bloomberg TV,mtv music mid-english!sometimes al oula under mbc package does English programmes, other transponder hosting nageo channel,gear one,Dubai sports 4 Arab! On 12226v27500 Are weak but it will be stronger when it will move to nilesat 201!if you have good 3m dish better still 3.2m or above you can point dish @7.3west and also focus on 7west to receive 12418H27500 ON eutelsat@7.3W for b4u movies( subtitled) ZEE living entertainment English! B4u India! Etc or 7.3west 12111H27500 Oman tv / Oman sports Hd

Morn ...my quest for nailing Hot Bird came to a halt as I thought it may need a bigger dish as from 5M upwards to try an get the 40dbw beam that covers Middle East plus pan dishes have low efficiencies going down to 60% ...this means underutillised dish...

More to that getting a 380cm offset will push the efficiency to 70-75% and adding a subreflector to the system will kick it to 85% to max....fingers crossed grin grin

I was @ the Electronics Market yesterday for the purpose of buying 4922A.Lo and behold all what I saw were fake (aki).The only guy that had the original was asking 15k. angry embarassed Guys beware of fake 4922A!

@Freddygaz.I've done extensive work on Cassegrain Reflector Design.Introduction of sub-reflector actually reduces the overall efficiency of the eflector due to

you are right!I think you may need something more than 5m prime focus dish for Hotbird! if I may predict @my location and from what I got from 13east! I need at least 4m dish for full Hotbird signals!since Hotbird 13D is a bit weaker!while 13C is stronger and 13B weak but a little bit stronger than 13D...

talking of offset dish with sub reflector! It will give more
efficiency than normally dish though dish should be designed for sub reflector! Like few weeks ago I used a flat surface that covers the center hole of my 1.8m as sub-reflector on my 80cm dish with my sky mini dish lnb! Dish pointed at 36east lnb faced reversed pointing at sub-reflector I hit 36east signal...that is satellite signal will hit the dish..and reflects to the subreflector and to lnb!if dish is designed for sub reflector! I would have got more gain from the dish!
Below is the pic of what I used as sub reflector on 80cm dish!

@Freddygaz.Total antenna efficiency = (Estimated dish efficiency)*(Sub-reflector efficiency).

i.e, ηT = ηant * ηsub

Hence a reduction on the normal estimated dish efficiency.

Please my fellow fta members help offer ideas to these thing that is bothering me.i find it difficult to get 4m dish in south south here.right now i allocated 10m potion of land for fta but the big dish i am seen is by one member that offered hand made fibre dish.i need 4m pan dish badly.

The problem is power-related not LNB becos my 4969x delivers on same set-up.

@all the network engineers, what is the meaning of Twin protocol and its function toward satellite broadcast and internet service, does it help in uplink and downlink, cos normal decoder can download but it cant upload, having twin protocol on a decoder does it means it can upload and download data?
