@geman If your dish is motorized, you can actually have Smile of a Child on Apstar as long as you have 2.4m and above. It's a very sensitive channel to have, you could have to sacrifice the signal quality of other channels to have it. It actually falls a little bit off the rest, I mean if you have motorized setup on Apstar with maximum signal quality on other channels, you will have to move your Motor slightly to maximize TBN, that is actually why it's hard on static setup. If you want it back on your setup, you need a Motor.

@Chinedu7,
Many thanks for the very informative piece, I appreciate. Since my dish is not motorized, I will change the lnb and try again.

By the way, on the market in Kampala, there is a Cband Stargold SG105k lnb. Have you come across it and tested it?

Similar or the same TP under the Sat in diseqc.

@ Chinedu7
Pls explain it better to me,I don't understand what you mean at all.Besides,I combined 4 sats in the diseq with mytv.
And pls,give me solution to it too.thnx

You may have another TP that clashes with it, reason why it turns red. Why not just do being scan and savedeo yourself stress of looking for TP to delete.

Black man! What is the actual difference between Strong 4922 and other autoroll decoders in terms of full fta channels?
Even if powervu goes off today, autoroll decoders will be as useful as your 'almighty' 4922. 4922 as I said times without number is overrated.
I guess you are white?

I disagree, they may have their own reasons to think it's the best but don't tell that to an East, West or South African. I have both boxes infact I gave srt 4950h to my wife, she has been using it in her room his I bought it. The speed of processing, tuner, UI etc I couldn't find why I should replace my srt 4922a with srt 4950h. They just don't match. Tomorrow if 4922a has an autoroll Patch let me know how many people that will still use their srt 4960h ahead of srt 4922a. This argument is arising now because of srt 4950h ability to autoroll.

Thanks for your apt answer,one of the gurus i respect alot here.One love.

@GeorgeD1 It seems you and Olenyi are back from your hiatus,it's good having you back again...@ManirBK hope you resolved your audio issues on your new box?
no my friend.i check at the menu fuction but no where to change from stereo to mono i use alphabox x4.

Ok,so you mean that the TP clash has to do with diseq combination?
When I connect it alone and directly to decoder,12722 and 12724 H/V pops green but when I put it in diseq, they are red

because the TP clash,just blind scan and it will be replaced with another TP that is close to that on and off you go.

@Chinedu7 I saw your arguement with some folks about 4922;My brother,this conundrum wouldn't go away,If 4922 autorolls today,I know so many people will throw their toys away.I want to challange all those screaming about alphabox,if 4922 autorolls will you place alphabox above it in the pecking order?I know you won't.Talking about alphabox,that box bores me to death...I'm yet to see a better competitor to strong boxes and their products generally.Away from the arguement,can I pick apstar with my 1.8m here in Rivers?

The thing is that Apstar don't have Channels with strong signal quality like Al Jazerra on IS20, so that is why I can't guarantee success with 1.8m but it will surely pickup good few channels, about 50%. In my area 2.4m should give you 70-80% of the channels there. At the moment the most important tp there should be the one that houses AXNs and SONYs but it rises about falls 3 or 4 times a month. When it falls to its limit which is 60% on 4922a even 2.4m struggles that is why I can't really push people to use 1.8m unless they don't mind the trouble.

Hello Chinedu7,
I disagree with what you said about SRT4950H. I didn't quote you to argue with you but to make a little explanation about the two mentioned receivers. I did mentioned about the specifications of the two receivers two years back or so. According to Strong-technologies, SRT4950H has a processor SP1502 (32-bit) clocking with the speed of 667MHz while SRT4922 series has a processor 850DMIP (32-bit) clocking with the speed 550MHz. Compare the two processor and tell me the one that is better between the two. SRT4950H has a DDR3 (memory) ROM with 2GB size while SRT4922 series has a DDR3 with 128MB, now compare the two ROM and tell me the one that is better. When it comes to blind scanning between the two receiver, you will notice that 50H is faster simple because the processor of 50H is faster and has a bigger memory size which will accommodate a lot of apps...it will be difficult to see 50H shouting memory full the way 22 series does. SRT4922 series has only one edge over SRT4950H which is the tunner. 22 series was seen as a better receiver just because of its firmware which was written by WizKids and Sameer009 which was performing well from the onset, you know two heads are better than one. What is firmware? Firmware
is a type of software that provides control,
monitoring and data manipulation of engineered
products and systems. In a lay man's world, a firmware is a software that communicate between the Operating system and the hardware. Back in the days they use to release firmware that cannot even save TV3 Ghana biss key but today 50H is using auto roll on 24HD what a world...

The autoroll software of 4950h will not last long like that of gsky do ,because the software softcam will not last long .
For more info.contact www.Pakogist.com
Likely if Autoroll UA.key becomes invalid autoroll features will stop depending on the provider..the problem is that the 4922 and 4950 does not give access to edit autoroll key by any means necessary...however on some receivers with hex editor on phone or PC /key editor..you can manually edit...change/add or delete the autoroll emm[url][/url] key of any given provider autoroll only works with valid autoroll key..though strong 4922 and gsky is only a closed source receiver..
Below is eg of editing..autoroll UA/key on spark 7162 amiko alien2 linux(plugin mcas bin file)with hex editor using android phone..open bin file etc .then search for previous key ..then if the previous key is present then editing or replace key..send file to USB ..then to receiver finish..this is what gsky or 4922 is lacking..
P 00558020 00 BFC4EF57666AC9 ;EMM KEY of sis@4.8east found in bin file....with hex editor can be edited etc..
autoroll UA :00558020
key: BFC4E57666Ac9

where emm key is written ass 20805500 Bfc4ef7666ac9 format for spark 7162 amiko alien2

Oga, it's not argument. I agree with your quotations, all of them but quotations don't always apply practically. I mean the hardware of srt 4950h is better and faster it doesn't mean that it performs better. Other hardware components can slow a machine down even with high speed processor. In today's world specification control our thinking and judgement. I have come across mobile phones that have faster specs than others yet performs worse. I didn't make my judgement based on what I read but what I observed, anyone is free to think otherwise but specs like that won't change my mind against what I practically know serves better. In the end what matters is just efficiency which I don't think any body can convince me that srt 4950h is better than srt 4922a. Software apart I still believe more in 4922a. Technicians don't care much about software yet I haven't met one that told me that 4950h is the best. For all it worth I believe that tuner is the most important thing in a decoder and srt 4922a is capable of stabilizing pictures srt 4950h can't. I don't watch the specs, I watch Motion pictures. Finally, it's a free world, anyone is right to chose what he or she believes is the best. I won't talk about this again.
@Dlee1 you are one the best around here. I don't mean to pickup unimportant argument. Don't take it personal.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by kwameking: 11:14pm On Sep 16, 2016
I own two 4922A decoders and a 4922D+. In fact, 4950h has never been my preference. However, for the Auto roll things, I took 4950h from a friend to experiment the Auto roll functionality. After using the 4950h for just five days, I came to the conclusion that, it is better than 4922A.
No two ways about that. Even Sp*24 skips when watching with 4922A..
Just that the 4950H will be complicated to a novice.
