HOW TO WATCH NBCU ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL FROM INTELSAT 68.5°E.

NBCU Entertainment is a TV channel that has been scrambled with powervu. This channel can be found at different satellites but I am going to talk about the one on Intelsat 20 @ 68.5°E kuband satellite with this transponder;
Freq (12562), Pol (V), SR (2866).

Before you can watch this channel, you need latest updated powervu key for your decoder to open it. Since you can not get or your decoder does not support powervu keys, there is one receiver called "alphabox x4 or x6" that opens the channel automatically.

But before Alphabox can open NBCU Entertainment TV channel automatically, you have to download the latest software for it. You have to make sure it is a genuine and original Alphabox decoder, since there lots of imitations in the market. And after your upgrade has finished the channel will automatically open for you and you are all set!

HOW TO SOLVE BOOTING PROBLEM ON SRT 4950H AND SRT 4950E DECODERS.

In this article, I'm going to show you how to solve the booting problem in "SRT 5950 H" and "SRT 4950 E". Sometimes you will see "boot" displayed in the screen of these two decoders that it will remain like that without booting as shown in the image above.
This normally happens when the software on the decoder had expired outdated.

To solve this problem, you will first download the latest software for the type of your decoder from the website of strong technology. If you can't access the internet with your computer, you can download the software with your mobile phone and transfer the file into your PC.
If your decoder is SRT 4950H download 4950H software, the same applies to 4950E.

Having done with your download, get a clean quality flash drive (pen drive).
Rename or change the name of the downloaded file to rom from your PC and send it into flash drive. Take the drive from the PC and insert it into the drive slot of your decoder.
Power on the decoder and press the power button in front of the decoder at the same time and your upgrade will start immediately. After the upgrade your decoder will boot successful and you are all set!

NOTE: Do not put the file into a folder in your pen drive but put it into the root direct. If you put the file into a folder, the decoder will not be able to read it.
If this process did not solve the booting problem of your decoder then your drive has a problem that you need to change it.

How To Boot Your Computer Without Hitting F1.

         
            

If you have always been hitting F1 key when booting your computer, then this is the solution.
This normally happens when time and date are not set correctly. Try and set the date and time correctly, either you set from the setup menu or boot before you set.

After you have finished setting time and date, save your settings and switch the computer off by removing the power cable from the electricity socket.

Switch on the machine again and see if the problem still persist, then switch off the computer again and open the case of the computer you will see a small battery like the one in a wrist watch as shown in the image below.

Remove the battery and replace with new one. Switch on the device and set date and time again.
Save your settings and reboot and you are good to go without hitting F1 or any key again.

The purpose of this battery is to save some some settings in the computer for example date and time. So if the battery is not working, it can not save the date and the time.

Tricks And Tips In Tracking A Satellite With Ease.

              

           

Most people find it difficult to track or install a satellite because, they lack the tips and tricks in it. Carefully read this article and you will know how to track any satellite with ease. 

One big mistake most installers does is installing a satellite with the dish dropping down to the top of the roof. You can see this from the image above.

Do you know that if the degree of a particular satellite is higher, the lower your dish will drop down? The same applies to lower degree satellite which will also be raised up. Example; 68.5° satellite will come down whilst 16° will be raised.

So in this case if you try to install 68.5° with a dish dropping on the top of the roof, you will not get the signal. You can see from the above image that, I used to drop the dish on top of the roof. This was possible because, the satellite has a lower degree (°) which is 16°E. 

Another big issue is the positioning or skewing of the lnb. If the lnb did not positioned or faced in the right direction, you will start from early in the morning to evening by receiving nothing.

So standing in front of the dish, you should turn the connector of the lnb to 3 o'clock direction and after hitting the signal, adjust it to increase the signal.

Another one is the device you are using for tracking the satellite. If you are tracking or installing with a decoder,  don't use HD (High Definition) decoders since they do not pick the signal quickly.  You can use mpeg 4 decoder or satellite finder (meter) and then scan with your HD decoder later.
An example of mpeg4 decoder is strong (srt 4669) x or xii.

Make sure you have a genuine Lnb .

Make sure you input the correct tp (transponder) for the satellite you are tracking. Make sure the particular frequency or tp is highlighted.

I hope you can now install your satellite with ease.

How To Receive FM Radio Channels From A Distance.

In most places especially rural or village areas, FM radio signals are difficult to receive. In this case, I'm going to show you how to receive FM radio channels or stations from a distance of about 85 to 90 miles from where you are. 

Image displaying an extended FM radio antenna. 

Things you will need; 

1) A long pole of about 20 FT long, use a wood or a bamboo stick. Don't use a metal pole.

2)An aluminum bar of about 3 FT long, example is the one on top of the bamboo pole as shown from the image above.

3) A 2.5mm electric cable, you will measure it from your room to the top of the pole. 

4) FM radio tuner or any FM radio receiver. 

To start the process peel a small portion of the electric cable and connect or join it to the aluminum bar. Then tie the aluminum bar to the other end of the wooden or bamboo pole.

Place the pole in a hole and send the electric cable to your room. Connect the cable to the antenna of your radio or tuna.
Switch on the device and start tunning  and you will see how numerous channels or stations you will receive. 

Note that some FM radio receivers doesn't have good reception, so try and use the one with good reception.

How To Test A Remote Control With Mobile Phone.

Sometimes we bought a remote control from the market, but the time we reach home and use it for our device ,we realize that the remote is not working.
In order to prevent all these calamities, I am going to show you how to test the remote before you bring it home.

After you have purchased the remote, insert a battery into it and then switch the camera of your mobile phone.

Face the bulb or the eye of the remote to the sensor of your phone's camera and press any key on the remote.
By looking at the screen of your mobile phone, you will see that the bulb of the remote will light up when pressing the remote keys.

If the bulb lights up, it means that the remote is working if it didn't, it means the remote is not working and this will help you not to purchase a damaged remote.

Make sure you do it in a little dark place, this will help you to see the light from the remote control properly.
This practice works with any camera phone.

How To Increase A Satellite Television Signal.

There are some processes that lead to weakness in satellite signal quality.
These processes include;

1) Using too old satellite cable leads to signal loss.

2) Extended cable, the longer the cable the weaker your signal will be so try and shorten your cable for better signal.

3) Joining of satellite cable also leads to signal weakness so remove any joined cables and replace with straight ones.

4) Obstacles like trees and buildings in front or behind a satellite dish leads to signal loss so try to install a satellite at a plain area.

4) Bended satellite dish is also one problem so always make sure that your dish has not even bend slightly.

5) Cables with thin copper reduces signal so I will urge you to use a quality cable with huge copper for good signal strength .

Amplifier ICs With Same Functions But Different Numbers.

            Image showing STK amplifier IC

Most people throw away thier amplifier because they are not able to get the same IC number when it is damaged. Carefully read through this article and it will proof you wrong.

There are lots of amplifier ICs around the globe, but I am going to talk about the common one which is STK.
These lists of STK amplifier ICs have different numbers but have a same function. This means, if the number of your amplifier IC is; STK 4131 II and it has damaged, you can replace with different IC number which has been listed here among your IC number.

The only thing you have to check is the voltage, if the voltage of the amplifier is higher than the IC, do not use it.
But if the voltage of the amplifier is lower, you can use IC with both higher and lower voltage for it.
NOTE :The voltage is read from either the positive and the ground or negative and the ground terminals of the amplifier capacitor. But not positive and negative terminals.

These are the list of amplifier ICs with same functions.

IC NUMBER                       VOLTAGE
STK 4131 II                          45 V
STK 4132 II                          45 V
STK 4141 II                          45 V

STK 4152 II                          42 V
STK 4161 II                          45 V
STK 4162-II                          45 V
STK 4162 II                          45 V

How To Connect More Sattelite Dish Or Signals To One Receiver (Decoder).

With the help of a satellite device called "Diseqc"(Digital Satellite Equipment Control), you can connect about 16 satellite dishes or signals to one receiver.

There are two types of Diseqc settings in every  receiver :

1 Diseqc 1.0

2 Diseqc 1.1.

Also there are two types of Diseqcs.There is one which has only three or four lnb input connections on it. You will use Diseqc 1.0 settings in your receiver for this type of Diseqc.

There is also another one that has more than four lnb input  connections. This type of Diseqc also uses the settings of Diseqc 1.1 in the receiver. 

I'm going to show you how to use the Diseqc 1.0.

Image showing a four ways diseqc. 

Image showing diseqc settings in satellite receiver.

The cable at the middle of the three connectors on the Diseqc image above goes into the receiver whilst the rest is from the dishes.

So to do your settings, press menu on your remote control >installation >enter password (0000)>antenna or dish settings >Diseqc mode >Diseqc 1.0>select "A" or "1".

Look down your screen if the scan label is blue, press the blue key on your remote and change scan mode or type to blind and scan or search .

Repeat this for all the process. Make sure you select different satellite and different Diseqc label for the next process.

NOTE: Use Cband satellite name on your receiver for Cband satellite you have installed, the same applies to Kuband.
