    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?

    Default Card yanking not wanking!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Certainly not a long term solution, but works OK until you can find your seller.

    BTW....I only do this to watch FBO or main as I have a sub anyway for the other stuff... so no biggy for me...

    the octagon 918 is proving it's worth yet again......

    the ability to disable updates via the menu is very handy.....
