odilibe:
what type of satellite receive is that?
did you extract file mcas?
cos the receiver will on detect the folder (plugin)...
extract the mcas file with winrar/zip..when you extract the file you should be able to see the folder named "plugin" send the folder plugin to the USB stick..then insert USB flash drive to the receiver after that, the receiver will data from the USB flash drive.. on a few seconds a message will pop up on the screen..answer yes with the OK button on the remote control..receiver will start upgrading when upgrade is finished it will reboot..then you are you done...
you can manually edit other keys ..with the latest plugin autoroll will work!

other files should be in the plugin folder that is ..
plugin/var/bin plugin_mcas
plugin/var/key/softcam.key/keydata.bin
hi odilibe
thanks a lot for the advise. it was a wrong file I was loading. I got a file now and loaded it and it all went well but now I don't see mcas in plugins because I had earlier deleted it and loaded this new one which am not seeing.
What is wrong?
thanks

thanks odilibe for sparing me your valuable time.
The receiver is Dynavision dv 7900hd PVR I think it is running an Ali-3606 chipset and it does well with 3g and WiFi connection. I have ever loaded plugins like coconut using USB but now I do not know why not mcas. I unzip the file and loaded it to a USB prior formated to fat32 and the the file read 'plugin_mcas.s. File type is S

what is wrong here?

am waiting for your direction.
thanks to all

@ All
I need help! My remote control to srt 4910 is not working. I believe it is the sensor in the receiver that has a problem or is it not? When I try the remote with a digital camera i can see it works. Moreover i have tested with a universal remote and it is still not responding. I remember seeing some posts here regarding the same and i request someone to point me to the right posts or some suggestions to help me.

Thanks to all
Gddams Uganda.

11862, osn
11977 osn
12034 osn inclusive of cnn
11958h jsc+ 5-10
11785v dubai one

for fta we are left with mbc, bbc and not very much,   dark days ahead for Nilesat here in the south west.

a lot enquiries are begining to pour in for 5m dishes.


@Olofofo and all

The above Frq and channels are now on Nilesat 201 and it seems u guys that side u cant get it pretty well. Well some few people posted here results saying they get it in some parts of Nigeria (Nilesat 201 childboard). Otherwise the same frq are green here in E. Africa starting from a 90cm. Atlantic bird seems promising tho.
