Evening house, I'm a bit new with m5 super, I just got it, I connected my sat cable, its not even bringing LNB signal at all, let alone it will bring the signal for the network, the two signal bars just remain blank

check your cables connection.

M5 super does show signal strength and sometimes it doesn't. But if you know that everything is ok with your connection, just enter the diseq position of the sat u want to scan if u use diseq and blind scan. Channels will come up.

Friends please i need help, i bought a new decoder SRT 4954 on Wednesday and on getting home and adding channels, the decoder does not always respond to the remote, it keeps hanging, i returned it on Thursday and d tested it but nothing of such happened though d only test with one network but i have 3 in 1 set up via a disec switch. The installer d sellers called to ask what could be the cause said is load and that is normal and that also maybe i didn't set it up well and he had to factory reset it and promised it won't happen again.

On reaching home, i inputed my 3 satellites freuencies and blind scan using different network and up til now, the hanging continues down to even volume adjustment. I have called my personal installer to come and set it up himself, so he says Monday.

But i want to ask, what could be the probable cause? is the decoder or remote faulty or could it be my disec switch or there is something am not doing right? this issue is freaking me.

Never experienced it before on my SRT 4922. Mtcheeew

you can get up between 65- 70% when combined with multi TV using 60cm dish. Up to 80-85% when it is only 26e. It all depend on your skills, location and lnb quality.

Bro,the receiver is new in the system and not many people have it , from specs, it looks like a rebranded piece of ****(mind my language)... Let the seller correct any problem you have or wait for the srt497S.which is now circulating in the middle east.

Or before doing that let him run a single cable from lnb to the receiver and blind scan let see what the outcome will be. l am suspecting the problem is from his set up, that mini box is a good one. It could be his disecq or one of the cables from lnb to disecq has a contact somewhere. Finally he should check the setup properly to be sure that there is no contact or short circuit some where before the disecq.

Thanks bro, their whole arrangement in their shop is via one wire for each satellite, no disecq, and the thing performed well. D checked both with TSTV, Multi TV and Nigcomsat at several times and it didn't malfunction.
I was using 4922 and didn't experience any issue as well with the set up

@yawwilson mine case is different MY ADAPTOR STOPD WORKING AND MY SON CUTTED IT OFF AND PLUG THE WIRE DIRECT AND AS EXPECTED THE DICODER SMOKED FROM THE PANEL INSIDE. MY QUESTION IS. IS THERE A REMEDY 4 IT? OR IS THE DECODER DEAD? Talking about 4955b

take it t strong office in alaba international if you are in lagos, if you still have warranty on it they will fix it for free, if not 2k would be charge for new panel

Ye, you know 4922 is a rugged decoder that can withstand some problems which other strong decoders can not, check your cables one by one or run each lnb direct to the box without disecq, I believe you rectify the problem (s). There is a short circuit before the disecq or it could be the disecq itself.

The best Decoders produced by strong company are 4669, 4669x2, 4922, 4954 and 4955. Others like 4920, 4950 series. 4955 is known with power problem, 4950 series are known with tuner problem over time. Strong has a company has made name like Peugeot cars of those days. We have many companies competing with strong now, sunplus Decoders, tiger Decoders and so on. Many strong Decoders in market now are refurbished one except you buy it from strong office with warranty. It is well my brother. If you bought from approved dealer of Strong products, take it there for proper attention.
