Option 1.
Revive dead strong decoders via a decoder-to-decoder firmware transfer Method
This is a full proof no mistake process as long as you follow instructions.
REQUIREMENTS for a decoder-to-decoder transfer
1. You need a rs232 serial cable
2. You need a working strong decoder of the exact model. Meaning if a strong 4922a is dead, you need a strong 4922a to wake not a 4920 even though their software is very similar.
The Steps
1. Get an rs-232 CABLE
2. Get another working decoder of that same type
3.connect the two decoders via rs232 and remember to switch off the bad one
4. Switch on the good one.
5. Go to – system setting (on the good decoder)
6.Select data transfer
7. Choose firmware and press ok. Wait till it finishes loading.
Option 2.
The Steps
Step 1. Look for the model number or type of the decoder and download the Rom.bin file on to a virus-free USB drive.
Step 2. Power off the decoder and insert the drive. Hold the power button in front and switch on the decoder while still holding it until the decoder automatically detect the rom.bin and starts loading.
Step 3. Wait until the decoder loads successfully and reboots. Technically the whole process should take not more than 3-4 minutes.
This process will restore the receiver to default, so you will have to re-program it again
You can download from your friend’s decoder to a USB Disk or go [url=https://crosat.us/upload/index.php?directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Middle%20East]Visit CROSAT[/url] search for your model by scrolling down

and click the small green arrow to download it. Then unzip it and put in the USB drive and use option 2 steps above.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Crushhh: 7:11am On Dec 20, 2022
Would have love this but I don't have space to install dish of such size. Will revert to this if I eventually find space
davodyguy:

I spoke with with one of the directors and he said they'll look into it.

They've been looking into it ever since?

No Yorùbá, Hausa and Igo movie channels.

No single Nollywood movie channel.

No African lifestyle channel.

They think all is about sport, packing all DSTV channels.

With my 4.2m dish, I watch all sports that DSTV, Startimes, Canal Sports, TSTV pit together doesn't show. But I can't watch local channels except I use Nigcomsat FTA.

Local content is important

haslaw post=118291970]Good morning gurus,

I bought a new mediastar 2727 decoder two months ago but I got an installer to install it about ten days ago.

I observed that the mediastar 2727 decoder restarts itself on its own without any input from me.

Should I be worried and is there anything I should do to stop it from restarting itself.[/quote]




haslaw,
Detach the remote sensor from the decoder and it will stop rebooting itself

I have 26e Primary and 42e Secondary, After i relocate, my 42e is showing WAP TV, JALLA TV. But not showing TVC NEWS, CHANNELS TV.
What do i do to be able to watch TVC, MBC channels & others, should my 42e LNB go up a little or shift down a little.

@ Microgiant " I have chosen the last option you suggested because my 4922A decoder is not fried rather the issue here is that i Mistakenly did a Factory Reset that wiped away all my setup clean leaving the decoder empty without any interface functionality so when i on it , it will display the normal Strong Logo but no interface menu table/Settings to work with and that's the problem am facing so not a dead decoder. So i have use a Clean USB Drive to download the Software of [28/8/2016 & 21/11/2016 ] both Software contains Sat Frequency/Channel list then i will upgrade it using the Option 2 Usb Method you suggested. If it works i will inform the the house because currently am on a travel so the decoder is not with me but if there's any other suggestion i will be glad to take it. Thanks alot sir.

Your question is ambiguous.

Are you saying you have two separate decoders?

Or

You're using one decoder for they two pay TVs?

House, Pls is tstv signal on or off before I tune my dish? Just came back after traveling and met the signal off. Could it be that my dish has shifted or tstv has gone off air? Pls any tstv user should help

I have 2 decoders , tstv and moreplex..I want to combine both in a single LNB instead of having to move the cable from one decoder to the other

I want them to both work simultaneously with one HDMI 1 and other on HDMI 2

Is it possible to use one decoder for two pay tvs service?





Thank you and Happy New year

Not possible because of polarity clash, which will damage the LNB. H and V from different TPs on two decoders will damage your LNB

Also, you can't use 1 HDMI cable for two decoders.

You can get dual or quad LNB which will allow each decoder get connected to the single LNB, but you'll still use HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 for decoders 1 and 2

Lool. That is it but then carry a new LNB.. it may be the problem .. for months I was only having 50 channels and calling them out only for me to decide to change my LNB because it is my dstv LNB 5hat I have used for years ... Prompto ... All channels returned

Just waiting for their app to be fixed

They should be in same polarity.. what I do is simply move the cable wire to the decoder I reckon to watch ... It is that task that I want to eliminate so that I can use each HDMI port for tstv and moreplex

I found this online

Be sure of your information.

All TPs of Moreplex and TSTV are not on same polarity.

What you posted is not new. In fact there is one even cheaper.

It's called Coaxial cable splitter.

It's less than ₦1000, but quite expensive here in Rome, Price: €4.95. So when I'm abroad, I can only buy LNB from UK, not from other European countries.

It would still affect your LNB. Check all the polarities of Moreplex and TSTV to correct your post. This is what I have done for years (1997 to date) while in Nigeria.

Splitter can't solve it, except dual LNB

Okay .. this is what I will do .. tomorrow Monday , I will get the one I posted and install it and let you know how it goes

I am just tired of having to always go and unscrew the wire from one decoder to another

This one is room splitter that sends the signal to different rooms .. the one I posted is for services in the same band .. tstv and moreplex are both on belintersat 51.5

LNB is 2k in calabar and I have two brand new ones that came with my tstv because I bought extra not knowing they weren't going to need it

The guy just collected 4500 for nothing and I was pained.. he simply unscrew my dstv and screwed in the tstv and it was working.. since then 8 decided to understand this cable thing and do them myself

I did moreplex myself .. changed the LNB myself

The highlighted part shows you don't understand what I have been saying.

They're both on same Satellite, but TPs is different from Satellite.

Let me educate you further

Moreplex 11090 Vertical
TSTV 10970 Horizontal

Vertical and Horizontal TPs will clash and kill the LNB if both decoders are on at the same time or the last watched channel on a particular decoder is on a different Tp with the one you're watching or about to watch.

You must understand parameters
Same Satellite doesn't mean same Transponder


Get dual LNB
