    Default Tuning problems with Strong SRT 4563X

    Hi everybody
    I am newbie totally so some patience if this seems like a dumb question. I have just been given a Strong SRT 4563X sat box to try out. I have encountered some problems tuning that I hope some people can help with. I am using an Aurora card by the way.
    I can tune in all of the Aurora stations without any problems. This box doesn't pick up everything with a blind scan. I had to tune in 7 central and some of the sbs channels manually but this was managed without a problem. I'm sort of wondering what a "blind scan" does if it misses these channels. What I can't do is tune in Al Jazeera. I have attempted to this manually using 12367V, 27800 SR but what happens is that not only does the box NOT tune Al Jazeera, after it has done the scan with those figures it then scrambles the channels that I have just tuned which means I have to delete them all and then go through the process again. In short I can't get Al Jazeera up. For the life of me I can't understand what the hell I am doing wrong.

    Does anybody have any ideas. For the record I got the following from the system info:
    S/W version 1.21 (Nov 18 2008)
    H/W 1.10
    Boot version: 1.1 (Ob:24)
    CH version: D006

    Thanks for any help and the accompanying patience.

    Aljazeera has hidden pids, you won't be able to scan them in, you have to manually enter these pids by editing a channel alreeady scanned in for this frequency.

    To do this, make sure you a few fta channels scanned on the same frequency as Aljazeera, this may mean that you two of the same channels scanned in for this freq, this ok for now

    on my Strong 4652 this is how I did this

    go to menu enter>
    select channel menu enter>
    select channel edit enter>
    select the channel you wish to enter with the Aljazeera pids, if your str5ong menu is the same as mine it should very simple to make these changes.

    first of all edit channel name to Aljazeera
    then edit Vpid to this 1121
    then edit Apid to this 1122
    then edit Ppid to this 1121

    hit escape and bob's your uncle!!!

    Thank you so much. Worked like a dream. There was no way that I would have worked that out by myself.

    Complicated affairs these sat boxes.

    Thanks again.

    should have pictures virtually instantly!
    However, do you have other channels scanned from C1, in particular any other channels on the 12368V freq?

    try renaming the channel you have edited to Aljazeera....

    Wink follow osci,s instructions

    Pay particular Attention to this first
    Aljazeera has hidden pids, you won't be able to scan them in, you have to manually enter these pids by editing a channel alreeady scanned in for this frequency.

    To do this, make sure you a few fta channels scanned on the same frequency as Aljazeera, this may mean that you two of the same channels scanned in for this freq, this ok for now

    This means blind scan C1 and then edit any channel you get on on frequency 12367V or there abouts 12367 + OR - 5Mhz
    Then edit and "exit" and you should have pics

    can you confirm if you have edited a channel on the same freq as Aljazeera....it doesn'tappear that you have?

    as Marty alludes to....make sure you have a few FTA channels already scanned in on the 12637V Freq...

    can you confirm this with us, so we can try and work out whats going on if you haven't
