[andic]

Today i received my Strong 4658x in the post from WA, posted friday actually arrived Tuesday but was out and got a calling card, but thanks Mr Postman for delivering it.

Heres a question for ya, its got firmware 1.07, im going to connect it this weekend, should i update firmware first? if so what level?

Also is there any cool / querky mods for this box that i should apply? or is it sweet to go out of the box? Lots of options in the menus, but such an unhelpful manual, still we all fiddle and learn dont we

I got the same box a couple of weeks ago. It works fine with 107, Austech members just can't help them selves they just have to fiddle with firmware etc it's all part of the fun.

Welcome to the 4658x club.

Unless you are keen for french channels from i701 which require biss codes and hence "p" firmware, your current firmware should be fine

Welcome to the 4658x club.

Thanks Global, its always nice to belong to something. As for french, cant understand it really, but if its good i would watch and learn! lol

In UK there are many Satellite magazines that contain maps showing where the sats are up north, anything available for us down here?

[global88]

Yep plenty to play with, if your an Aussie with a ku dish try intelsat8, optus d2/d1/c1
Maps, settings are all here

Thanks again Global, unfortunatley where i am living will only permit me to have the current 65cm dish fixed to the gutter, i could add LNBs to it, but there is no room / privacy enough to put anything larger. What i would really like to see if a map similar to time zones map with sats highlighted above it so i can see where i am pointing to, i know, i know i dont want a lot ! lol

Ok, click here,

Click on sattracker asia. (white boxes)

Click on sat name you want. (a map will appear with a dot of where the sat is)

Click on the map your location and the coordinates will appear on the right of the map.
