How long is your wank lasting?

Dont forget , too much wanking and the card will go blind.
my has only gone down once sunday10am or 11am it look like to me it will go down once a week every sat or sun like the last quick fix
With all this wanking hows you card looking?
Mine getting track marks which is a bit of a concern.
Anyone modified their card insertion limit switch to a switch so they don't have to physically yank/wank/pull so much?
I'm just flicking channels until I get something, but the update doesn't work for me any more I have tried it about 5-6 times and it still doesn't work
This method works best for me...try it if you haven't updated your whitey yet..
Box = Strong 4653x with 1.20
Card = Sellers not yet updated with V3 (still with V2?)
-turn on and place on TV1 (channel 6 on mine)
-use front panel to change up to channel 7 while having a hold of the card (you need two hands, so get the misses to scratch your butt if you have an itch )
- just go up and down 1 channel with around 3 to 5 sec's between each channel change (on mine it's between TV1 and UKTV...but this doesn't matter)
- after around 10 or so channel changes (this varies) you will hear the sound come on first (have the volume up!) This is the time you have to yank the card out. If you see pics before you yank, you may have missed it...but try it anyway. It's all in the timing!...Note pics will continue for 5 or so secs without the card in the slot.
- leave the card out and downgrade the firmware to 1.27p
- after the box has reset, pop the card back in and enjoy(...at least until you have to repeat the procedure..)
Hope this works for you
*** Note: Some have rightly pointed out that this is a short term solution. If you do this for too long you risk damage to your card or box (...or both).......or you could strain a muscle as you yank the card out.

Changing firmware often will stuff up your strong box eventually.
I have no idea how anyone would call that a solution.
For the 4653x, you are right...it's nuts.
For a 4658x with a cam it's a 2 minute fix every couple of days...no firmware changes..nothing...put into slot 2...wait for pics...back into slot 1 and all good for another couple of days.
Having said that, I will be "upgrading" as soon as possible
excuse my ignorance but what is a Cam?
Thanks for the answer, I have only being getting into this for the last 5 days now so I'm understandably fresh to the lingo.
how much is a card ?? 300-400 right ??
how much is a Dm500s ?? 150 ?? do the mats people... seriously is it worth ruining cards ??
2.3m motorized C-band mesh , 95 cm motorized Ku dish on aDM8000HDmake that IQ2 since 11/11/11
C-band : from Telstar 10 to Intelsat 2
Ku-band: fron NSS 6 to Intelsat 701
the octagon 918 is proving it's worth yet again......
the ability to disable updates via the menu is very handy.....
does this v3 bin file solve the issue of dm500 with phoneix showing a green I but no pics? im going to give it an emk hit with gup anytime soon i wndre if this would solve the prob.
for god sake stop all this wanking & firmware upadates, get a update and get your LIFE as it would seem back!
