Thank you ajay very nice thank you for helping me Sudhir Hi...thanks...I was facing problem with set top box recording function...it solved with software update...& no need to cal customer service...thanks once again & keep updating Yogesh Gopal palta Hi friends, I have an other trick, If 1st trick doesn't work, just when you Set top box stop receiving signal(due to rain, or you can also remove signal cable for this), then It will show "You Tata Sky Box Is Not Receiving Signals", just press select button and then it will also open the above mentioned secret menu. Arvind Vaish Hi VG, Needed to know, if there is any possibility of Copying the recorded programs to my external hard disc & make space on the TATA SKY STB for more recordings to happen.

Thanks for sharing this trick, but after upgrading the firmware in tata sky will i be ableto access my pen drive to watch videos, please Reply.. Thanks, Ankit VG ^^ No. Tata Sky doesn't allow accessing files using USB drive. ID Hi, I'm tata sky hd ...How can i use USB port for connecting pendrive or watching movies on PD??? sudhir Unable to start set top box (tata sky HD recording) Prashant Patro Kindly tell how to use my ADTV STB and Antenna and remote for DD-DTH and tell steps. does it require a specific software to load and how to load, is it possible thru satellite John Ram Hi, Can you use the DTH box provided by either Dish TV, tata sky, reliance etc purchased in India to work in the UK, using the Indian service? I will be able to make the payment to the Indian provider monthly or yearly and if it works I will be saving Rs 30,000 a year. VG ^^ No. I dont think its possible. These Indian DTH companies do not allow the use of their services in other countries. @Prashant Patro You'll need to purchase a new FTA set top box from market. You cant use ADTV STB but you can use the LNB and dish antenna. MANOJ can we copy the recorded programmes on a pen drive from tatasky hd setup box VG ^^ No. It doesnt allow. chris Hi.

Shailesh How do I configure my LG universal remote MKJ4065383 for my tatasky STB? VG ^^ Sorry cant help. You should read its manual to pair it with Tata Sky. @Kajal It'll go to next screen when it detects signals. You should Tata Sky engineer to adjust dish antenna alignment so that it starts receiving signals. Vinay Hi , VG I am using TATA sky HD + Sony LED 42" + Yamaha AVR + BA 5.1 Speaker. All connections and setting in STB, AVR etc are good. The HD movie channels are not giving proper 5.1 DD sound for some movies. (say about 60% movies titles). My Disc , LBN is about 7 years old (non HD era) and RG6 cable about 30feet is 4 year old (is local one I think). Signal Strength and quality is 60-70 %. Now to get proper sound SHOULD I CHANGE my LBN or CABLE ( quad shielded RG) or both.???? VG ^^ There is no problem at your side. The problem is at DTH side. Some movies and programs on HD channels don't provide DD 5.1 sound, thats why you get it in selected programs and movies only. Nothing can be done. Just ignore it. Vinay Thnx. I am agree..... can we complain about this mis - guiding and false promotions of HDs ? where online? VG ^^ No. Its not misguiding. The channels provide DD 5.1 sound but some programs are not available in DD sound, so thats technically not possible for those channels to show those programs with DD sound. :) shuvo what is the purpose of usb slot on the back side of set up box of tata sky? Vinay VG, the worst cases 1- fifa world in not 5.1, 2- right now Doom3 @ Sony hd is not 5.1 , poor surround is there but vocals are from all front three channels. Any disagree with me , plz let tell dth Service name and area. chandrakesh kumar sir my name is chandrakesh kumar i am using airtel digital tv and i want to watch movies and videos from my pen drive how will i done. VG ^^ Not possible at the moment. Ahmed Hi VG. We can view Airtel DTH in the Maldives. But I want to ask you how to get the signal strength higher. When it rains cannot view any channel. Can you give me a solution VG ^^ All DTH have this problem. You'll never get signals when its raining. ghannu

^^ If it happens in that particular TV set only, then it might be a problem in your TV. Try to attach the set top box with a different TV set and check whether the problem still persists.

I tried 2 much but not reciving signal. What to do? But now i changed my lnb of fta. Due to changed lnb , signal not receiving prblm persist or what. Plz help me. VG ^^ It seems you changed some default parameters of Tata Sky LNB. You should Tata Sky CC or engineers to fix it. Tiken Hi VG, I have Sony Bravia 40W900A - I have taken this TV as I need the XR800 motion rate which make the running text more clearer and also realistic feel. I am using this TV along with the TataSKy HD(not the recording one). When ever I change the Orginizer> Setting > HD Setting to any 60 Hz refresh rate resolution (720p/i, 1080i) the running text jumps and also the overall picture jumps quite noticeable to me. I want to know if this is problem of the TataSky or the Bravia problem. I called up Sony CC and I was told to change the STB. When I called up TataSky, they give the lame explanation that over 50" TVs should use 60Hz refresh Rate. BTW, the default setting from TataSky is 50Hz. Let me know what you feel about this this. I am seriously thing that I should change to Airtel. VG ^^ I dont think its a problem in your TV. Actually all these STBs have some limitations. So just stick to default settings. Yogesh

I am not happy with Airtel service. I would like to change to Tata sky. Do I need to buy new Set of Box or Just the Card from Tatasky? VG ^^ DTH portability is not possible in India, so you'll need to purchase new LNB and STB from Tata Sky which means brand new connection with all hardware. Arpan I have a Tata sky standard MPEG4 box from 2 days its not receiving signals properly some of the channels are coming properly but now those are also flickering .I have tried the master reset and the software o .But nothing happened . Please guide .I have great expectations from u VG ^^ The only way left is to ask TS technician to align the dish antenna. It seems the dish antenna is not in correct direction. Dairon The Signal strength of My Tatasky is very low(around 40) maybe that's why i can't access some of the subscribe channel's, it shows ''No Signal'' . So what shall I do..? SMP how can i use my UK SKY+ Set top box in India. Can i see the free channels ? VG ^^ No. Its not possible. @Dairon You should ask Tata Sky technician to check the dish antenna alignment and cable condition.

I set up the master set up once it getting the signal .... once it not. Please suggest me that I hav to set the frequency for it VG @R K Arora It might be a loose power cable problem. Make sure the power cable is properly connected to STB and main power switch. @Vikas R and mani You should ask TS technician to proper align the dish antenna of Tata Sky. Puneet bhadauria I have a problem with signal strength. I need some kind of amplifier since the cable length between the antenna and the set box is very long. The moment I reduce the cable length I get a good signal strength and signal quality and when I place my set top box at the place with long cable length.....I am not getting a signal strength enough to view all the channels. Kindly provide details of any kind of amplifier which can be used to improve the signal strength since I cannot decrease the length of my cable between the set top box and the antenna. AbhiG Sorry VG but i think u can use a TV tuner card to use a DTH service on a Laptop/pc easily ! I hve tried this my self n it works fine. I have a cable STB and DIsh TV and enter USB tv tuner. I tried the cable STB.What u do is plug in the USB TV tuner to a usb port on ur laptop/pc. Then connect STB with it thru the av cables provided to connect dvd/vcr /handycam etc. It cam wid the tv tuner. One side connects to the audio n video out of the STB and voila ! ur done. Enjoy DTH on your Lappy/pc. VG ^^ Of course. You can use TV tuner card. Who said you cant? @Puneet You cant use any amplifier but you should try to use a better quality Fiber Optic cable. It'll solve your problem. Maya My Tatasky (Thomson) stb does not work above steps. pls tell me how much time I have press those keys Abhijeet I have tata sky Today all three led red yellow green continuously glowing stb not initializing What should I do Please tell me VG ^^ It might be a hardware problem.

Now if I want to record some programmes where I am going to plugin pendrive to setupbox and its asking for formatting. After formatting, it will record the program and if I want again to see that program using pendrive..then it wont respond.

How can i use tatasky to multiple TV VG ^^ You'll need to purchase multi TV connection. @SAC Try to use a different USB drive. Abid What are b001 & b007 error codes in airtel dish tv Raaj Hi VG, I recently upgraded my Tatasky SD box to HD. The reason behind that was, Tatasky told that we get 5.1 connectivity/output only on HD box. Now I have connected the STB to TV using HDMI cable and Connected my 5.1 speakers to Composite cables (Red & White). But I dont think connecting via Red & White cable will give me 5.1 output. I can see one more port on STB it's S/PDIF - Optical port. So my questions. 1) Is the port active? Can I connect audio devices through this port.? 2) My 5.1 speaker system doesn't have S/PDIF port to recieve it through this cable. I may have to buy a Digital to Analog convertor to connect my 5.1. Please let me know if I connect my speakers using this convertor will it give me proper 5.1(Surround) output if the program is recorded with 5.1 features.? Thanks, Raaj nadar hi sir refresh my tata sky id VG ^^ You should Tata Sky customer care and ask them to refresh ID. @Raaj I have not checked S/PDIF port but you can check on HD channels whether you are getting 5.1 DD sound or not. @Abid It means the STB is not receiving signals. Check the cable connection and dish alignment. Raaj Thanks VG. But my question is, will I get 5.1 DD sound through RCA(Red&White) Input/output port/cable? This is a generic question nothing to do with my setup. Thanks, Raaj. VG ^^ I think no. Harry Can we use Airtel DTH settop box for Den Cable network with any possible alteration VG ^^ Not possible. rahul I have recorded some programmes in my reliance STB. Now the problem is that after a limit it will start deleting old programmes to make space for new programmes to record. I want the recorded programmes to save. Is it possible to have some way to do this. As per the earlier post you said

Today, when I switched on power, I noticed power was coming to the box. It used to start in standby mode (red led glowing). And then when I press power button on remote, the led used to change to green and then it used to show the channels on screen. Today, it started in standby mode. However, when I pressed power button in remote, the led just went off. It was not turning green. I tried switching off power many times. No luck. Any idea what would be the problem? VG ^^ If you turn the main power off and then on, the set top box should start. You can also try to use the power button present at the top of of the set top box. If nothing works, then you should ask technician to check the set top box.

I have airtel setup box only no antena VG ^^ There is no way to use set top box without dish antenna. If you dont want to use antenna, you can purchase recently released Samsung TV which comes with built-in Airtel DTH hardware. arvind gupta Dear VG, i am from Delhi, I have one spare Tata Sky STB , one spare Hansen DVB K2S ,spare hansen ku band new LNB, all this i was using in Indonesia and will need rebooting, one spare airtel dish working, , with all these devices is it possible to get DD Direct plus channels. please guide me i shall be thankful.

Can I use my existing NZ SKY TV satellite dish to connect the VIDEOCON SETUP box LNBF? OR, should I install a separate dish for VIDEOCON box? Appreciate your help. Das VG ^^ D2h set top box will not work in New Zealand.

hey vg help me, my tata sky was not recieving signal and i pressed the master reset system in it. now what can i do. it is not showing any thing VG ^^ Since its not receiving signals, nothing will help. You just need to re-align its dish antenna to receive signals. You should ask Tata Sky technician to visit your location and re-align antenna. Shamsbilal Aslaam u aalykum. sir i have full signal on my tata sky set top box, but the payable channal are not coming .can u tell me what i do. manoj Sir I want to see ren TV on my tata sky how can it possible VG ^^ Not possible in any DTH service in India.

Please help me to solve the problem. paramasivam Dear Sir/Madam, most of the channels are not showing in my Tatasky suddenly from yesterday evening. i was press the master reset in my Tatasky connection, after the process, it is asking me to select the LNB frequency. can you please help me to solve the problem VG ^^ It seems your Dish antenna is not receiving signals, thats why its asking for details. You should ask a technician to re-align the antenna. @biju Master reset process has nothing to do with any button or functionality of your remote. Try to replace batteries in your remote. @Lazarus Dsouza Its done automatically. Once the STB receives proper signals, it automatically locks them.

So first make sure the cable is in good condition. If its too old, you can try to replace the cable with a new one. @Rajeev Did you try to attach the cable very hard? Sometimes it might damage the connecting port of STB which causes this problem. So you should ask a technician to check the cable, dish antenna and then your STB. vijay Sir, can we use the DishTV STB. for free to air Channel, as every month we have to pay for all channel if not paid the transmission will stopped. is this possible to watch FTA channel without pay anything to DishTV .

There is no signal strength. Thanks 05/04/2015 Situo Farhan aslam hi why hd channel is not coming pls tell me VG The problem is happening because Tata Sky has released a new updated firmware for SD and HD set top boxes which automatically changes satellite settings and parameters for new satellite GSAT10. You guys can try to enter into above mentioned service menu and try to reset to factory settings. If it doesnt work, you'll have to adjust LNB alignment a little so that it can start receiving signals.

Not sure what kind of upgrade they are doing which takes so long and still going on... I sent below email to their CEO on his email id haritn[at]tatasky[dot]com. Dear Sir, After 13 days of non service and non communication from Tata Sky, I am forced to send this email to you. I am a Tata Sky subscriber (Id: #########) from last 5+ years and never faced such shameful non service from Tata Sky where not even deadline to fix the issue is shared nor did any courtesy being shown by Tata Sky so far.

Now i think after formatting the HDD with STB secret menu it may works fine. So if you have any solution to this then please provide.

Anurag Hi VG, i am reaching out to you after reading about your excellent tech resolutions to posted issues. I am having a repetitive problem in NOT able to connect the network as a part of manager as a part of VoD on the Tatasky HD Plus STB ( and it appears many others are having the same problem too without a solution !!) when either of the ethernet cable or the USB wifi dongle on STB is connected to my AIRTEL Belkin 450 BXI wifi router. The same network cable operates perfectly when used alongwith the laptop --- and the VoD settings not working problem appears to be unique to Airtel Belkin Router ( as per TS technician) Is this a problem with TS or am i being conned ?- i have raised a SR with TS but their technician has not been able to help despite multiple visits and STB setup changes in my TS HD plus STB in the current 1 month warranty period. IN fact, i have been advised to change my Internet ISP to make the VOD work !! Any suggestions or am i stuck with a non working STB connection ? - Airtel CC has informed they have not blocked any ports in their supplied standard Belkin wifi router. Any help will be most welcome. VG ^^ Did you try to reset Set top box to factory settings? If not, try to do that first. Anurag Yes VG - i have not only tried to reset the TS STB to factory settings, but also ed the latest s/w from TS for the STB and then checked. Rebooting the wifi router was also of no help. The internet connection of the STB to the Belkin wifi router of Airtel is still not happening. Even the use of the wifi dongle sold alongwith TS HDPlus STB does not work with airtel wifi router and says connection timed out after sometime. Effectively not allowing me to any free VOD content from internet as a part of the catch up TV either. As i will loose my airtel LL phone number, i am slightly averse to changing the Internet service provider for a problem of TS STB. VG ^^ To me it seems a problem in Airtel router. Did you try to set a custom DNS such as Google DNS, Open DNS in router settings using a web browser? It might help. ragu

Also for some reason my resolution seems to be off as some of the picture gets cut from the bottom. Also I am using samsung HDTV monitor FX2490HD.

AR Yeah I tried different HD cable as well but no luck.. both HDMI ports show no signal, when I connect something using HDMI cable TV shows HDMi as option for source then but keeps showing no signal when you switch source to HDMI. I have tried changing HD resolution in STB doesnt seem to help also its only showing SD in options maybe since I am connected using AV cable. Thanks RR dear VG, have tried everything known to me but my tatasky services are showing deactive. there is 745 Rs balance in my as seen on the tata sky . channel 99,100.101 are working fine but when i switch to other channels it asks for a recharge and sending HR msg to 56633. inspite of that no progress. plz suggest VG ^^ You should their CC. MADHUSUDEN KOHLI What should be the ideal signal strength and quality reading on tata sky. VG ^^ Generally you should get between 60-80 for both. But even if you get above 50, it'll work

Would you know about this or anyways to find this out!!

MANOJ KUMAR CAN I WATCH TWO DIFFERENT CHANNELS AT A SAME TIME, FROM ONE SET TOP BOX VG ^^ No. But you can watch one and record another channel at the same time. Mak Recently my dish TV SD updated itself and now I can't access my recordings though I can see that x% space is left on my FD. When I press files button loading starts and that's that, screen gets stuck and I have to remove mains to be able to view TV again. Note: while updating, FD wasn't mounted. Thanks in advance. MAK VG ^^ That might be the reason. I'm afraid you'll need to format the USB drive to get it working. Mak thanks.
