any free to air installer with latest software around ikotun/igando pls contact me on my siggy.i hv a strong decoder i want to install

check the decoders site if you will see the latest for your decoder model, Nope am not in Lagos

arbourboateng:
If you can remember the previous firmware version on your decoder go and download it and put it to your decoder , if you don't remember get someone who is using the same decoder as yours and let him back up his software version from his decoder for you and use it to flash yours .

yes I will check their site and download it as I don't know anybody with the same decoder, thanks

Did the technician change any internal components like transistor or something else?
Did you also confirm from the customer care if you account is running/active.

If the earlier is the case then that may have altered with the chip number used to activate the account resulting in you getting the "scrambled channel" message. You mentioned other fta channels are smooth right?

I don't know if he changed anything, he told me that he flashed it, yes my account is active and running it will expire by October, yes other FTA channels are smooth including NTA and tiwa n tiwa thanks

adubam:


Always do aback up copy before installing a new software incase a problem comes up you could always revert to the original copy.

Look for anyone with a working , SRT497, copy the software and install on yours.

I downloaded the last version before this latest update on strong website I think I will try installing it to see if it Will work thanks

ben1daEbiri:



I think it could be the software version he used to revive it,try using a newer software

I was actually trying to upgrade to the newer software when it got fried, the software on it is the lastest software now as confirmed by their customer care. thanks bro, I am even thinking maybe I should take it to the guy to return it to the original software I bought it with

Gurus in the how, my decoder Strong Srt 497s got fried and I took it to a guy who helped me bring it back to life, but the problem is all the mytv channels are showing scrambled channels now except NTA and tiwa n tiwa which will flash scrambled channel then show their programs, but before all the channels were showing, and my subscription will expire by October, I called their customer care and they said I should contact and installer to check my connection and the Dish still the same issue persists, I called them again and they told me to take the decoder to their accredited dealer which I did the dealer couldn't help so I took the decoder back now am watching normal free to air. Please what could be the issue help I love those their documentary channels rt Smithsonian and cctv documentary

There hope. For that decoder to wake up. You'll need the same srt497s decoder that is alive. Open it up and connect a device to the ICs of both decoders in order to wake the dead decoder up. I can't remember the name of that device now. A professional will do it for you.

Wow thanks what a relief, do you know how much is reasonable to pay for a professional to do, to avoid being overcharged thanks

Ameboperoo:

After all the warnings on this thread. You mean you still went ahead and take the risk of upgrading a receiver without a steady power supply? Your punishment is that the receiver will remain grounded for 3 months. That's my judgement. I rise!

I am new to this please help any hope for the decoder, I bought it 2 months ago it cost alot

Gurus in the house my SRT 497s just got fried any hope for it because I just purchased it few months ago, I saw a post on my tv Africa fans page about the software upgrade of which I tried not knowing that light will go off, please any help.
