Revealing Hidden Secret Service Menu in Tata Sky and Airtel Digital
TV DTH Set Top Box
We love finding hidden secret service menus and codes for electronic gadgets such as mobile
phones, TVs, etc. We have shared service codes for Google Android mobile phones, Samsung
Wave Bada OS mobile phones, Chinese mobile phones and Samsung and LG TVs in past and now
its turn of DTH set top box.
There are many DTH (Direct To Home) service providers in India such as Tata Sky, Dish TV, Airtel
Digital TV (ADTV), Reliance Big TV, Sun Direct, Videocon D2H and DD Direct+. Among all these
companies, Tata Sky is the most popular DTH service provider in India.
Tata Sky provides normal SD channels along with a few HD channels to its customers. It also
provides DVR service which allows you to record and pause the live television programs.
Tats Sky uses Sky brand of British Sky Broadcasting so Sky DTH users and Tata Sky DTH users
enjoy almost the same set top boxes provided by the companies.
Now the question comes why are we telling you all these things? It's because today in this article,
we are going to share a hidden secret service menu and secret service code for Tata Sky and
Airtel Digital TV set top box.
DISCLAIMER: This information is intended for experienced users. Please do not try any of
following methods if you are not familiar with set top boxes. We'll not be responsible for the
use or misuse of this information, including loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your
own risk.
The secret service menu present in Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV DTH set top box can be used to
setup the LNB, signal type, format the hard disk, master reset and much more.
And the secret service code can be used to reinstall or upgrade set top box firmware or software.
1. Hidden Secret Service Menu in Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV DTH Set Top Box
All Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV set top boxes come with this hidden menu to be used by
engineers to fix the set top box in case you face problems while accessing TV channels, etc.
To access this secret menu, you can follow these simple steps:

users press "Menu -> My Settings".
2. Now select "System Settings" menu in Tata Sky. Airtel Digital TV users select "System Setup"
option.
3. Now the tricky part comes. Press "0" and "1" buttons and then press "Select" button on your
Tata Sky remote.
Airtel Digital TV users press following 5 buttons in sequence: Red, <, Green, > and Yellow button.
So basically for Tata Sky users the combination is: Organiser -> System Settings -> 0+1 ->
Select
For Airtel Digital TV users the combination is: Menu -> My Settings -> System Setup ->
Red+<+Green+>+Yellow button
4. That's it. It'll bring the hidden service menu "Installer Setup" on your screen which shows

2. Hidden Secret Service Code for Tata Sky and Airtel DTH Set Top Box
If you notice that your set top box is not providing picture or sound of a particular channel or you
face other kind of annoying problems with your Tata Sky or Airtel DTH set top box, you can try to
reinstall or upgrade your set top box firmware (or software).
Most of the times the firmware is automatically updated by Tata Sky and Airtel via its satellite but
you can manually try to reinstall or update the firmware using following steps:
1. Start your set top box from mains and wait for the "Please Wait Initializing..." message on
screen.
2. As soon as you see the message, quickly press "Back" button twice and then press 2 4 6 5
buttons on your remote.
If the above method doesn't work, you can try to press "Back" button 4 times and then press 2 4
8 5 buttons on your remote.
NOTE for Airtel DTH users: You might need to press Exit button instead of Back button.
3. If you press the buttons on time, you'll be greeted by the "DVB SSU+ LOADER" screen and
your set top box will start downloading and installing the latest firmware.
4. Do not try to switch off the set top box during the process, it might damage your box. The
software installation might take a few minutes to complete.
You can check following video to see the software installation process live in action:
NOTE: This method will work for all Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV set top box whether its normal
SD box, HD box or HD+ box. It should also work for Sky set top boxes, not checked.
3. Yet Another Hidden Secret Service Code for Tata Sky and Airtel DTH Set Top Box
This secret code will allow you to modify advanced set top box parameters such as frequency,
modulation type, etc at boot time. It might become useful if you can't access STB menu options.
1. First of all you need to follow the same Steps 1 and 2 as mentioned above in Method 2.
2. After pressing "Back" button and 2 4 6 5 buttons, if you immediately press "Info" button on
your remote, it'll open a hidden secret "Advanced Setup-up" menu which allows you to edit lots
of advanced options of your set top box such as modulation system, frequency, symbol rate, FEC,
polarization, etc.

Cool! I'll try it when I get home!
Billy Reynolds
This is exactly the same technique as the UK Sky boxes and most likely will work for any Sky
products.

Thank you very much for this. My STB was unable to play live channel once paused. I tried a
myriad of options provided by telephone support some as ridiculous as asking me to change the
remote batteries. Finally the HD format did the trick, and although I lost some prcious programs,
the pause and play feature works fine now.
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

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.
I dont want to loose upon the recordings I have done.
Arvind
VG
^^ No. All recorded programs are encrypted and cant be transferred or viewed in computers.

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. I need to change the bandwidth for my DVB T2 receiver. but the menu doesn't let me. It's a
simple free to air receiver, not to be used with a provider, but to receive free national channels. It's
a 'wisdigi' model 1158. I think by accessing the hidden service menu. I can fix this problem. Any
ideas? Thanks in advance
VG
^^ Sorry no idea about that particular STB model.
Pradeep
Can you please share how to unlock reliance big tv old version STB ?
Kajal
I tried first method as tata sky set up box is not receiving signal. But now it is not proceeding

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 contact 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

Dear every one buys cable setup boxes. Cheap and more channels you will get. Contact your cable
operator and get setup box. Install them.
I am using cable for 25 years, no problem at all.
Arvind
hi. while new softare downloading is on a new page is coming with value 0823.6099 then ther is
symbol of ok or Back. what to do?
VG
^^ It happens when you are using separate cables attached to both tuners at the backside of your
set top box. You'll need to use a T connection. Attach one incoming cable to the input of T and
then attach 2 small cables at the two outputs of T which will be attached to two tuners of your set
top box. Now you'll be able to update the software.
Rupesh
Is this service free

Few days back when I switched ON my TV it asked for first time user setting. After completing the

VG
^^ Factory reset will not downgrade the software. There is no way to downgrade the software.
Even if you somehow downgrade it (which is not possible), it'll be again upgraded automatically
by AirTel.
D Mukherjee
hi..
I am unable to view quite a few channels using the MPEG4 set top box. The channels are viewable
in India but are scrambled when the same set top box is connected and viewed outside India (in
Gulf).
Is it possible to fix the issue.
VG
^^ Which DTH are you using?
D Mukherjee
TATA SKY..
VG
^^ It might happen that those channels are broadcasted from a different transponder which is not
available in other country. Sorry, nothing can be done.
KarthikeyanP
Hello VG, I would like to change the connection from Tata sky SD to Videocon. Can we get new
Videocon setup box for Tatasky antena? May I know how much it will cost.?

Hi. Can I minimize the bad weather outages (at least to some extent) on the Tata Sky if I install a
120cm Ku band dish instead of the OEM 60cm Ku band dish provided by Tata Sky?
Thank You!

^^ It might help a little but you'll never receive signals in heavy rain.
@UDAY DIXIT
You can use Parental Control option to block channels.
Fahad
Does Airtel Set top box, HD+ or HD recorder come with built in DVB-T2 so that we can also view
free to air channels? I am asking this because I am planning to buy a 2013 Sony TV that does not

^^ You cant watch FTA channels on ADTV STB.

^^ 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.
Also try to use a new HDMI cable to attach STB with your TV set.

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>User 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.

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 upgrade too .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.

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.

Our cable operator local setup box and its working fine. 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.
Even I tried whether it is going to work on my PC and again it is asking for formatting and if
formatting is done,then all the data will be lost which is stored in pendrive.

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 contact 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

^^ Not possible.

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
9/23/2015 9:45 PM
15 of 30
that all programmes are encrypted and cannot be watched on computer etc. but Is there any way i
can transfer these encrypted files in an external hard disk and use it with STB later to watch those
programmes in my TV. Pls advise.
VG
^^ There should be an option in your STB settings to manually delete recorder content when the
HDD is full.

Hello sir, plz help
I want to move my tata sky hd+ box from my own home to my friend home..... my friend have tats
sky ordinary box with with tata sky antenna...
When i talked to customer care, they said that u have to replace the aantenna also if u want to use
ur subscriber id on ur friends tata sky antenna.... just changing the box will not work...
So, Sir do u think that its not possible for me to use my tata sky hd+ box on my friends home
without replacing his tata sky antenna with my tata sky antenna...
Is it right to bound subscriber id with antenna also...
Thanks
VG
^^ I think it should work. Dont trust on customer care, they know nothing. Just register a request
for engineer visit and ask him the same question. He'll provide correct solution.

I followed "So basically for Tata Sky users the combination is: Organiser -> System Settings -> 0+1
-> Select". The Installer Setup menu is showing only one item - Satellite Settings. Mannal tuning
and other options are not listed. On selecting "Satellite Settings" it asks to select a transponder
but doesn't allow change. Also INSAT-4B is not listed. It also doesn't save changes to the selected
transponder parameters. Please help. I want to do mannual scanning on INSAT-4B.

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 am a new user of an old TATA Sky dish & set -box that works well. My wife is sick of too many
entertainment stuff but very little Indian stuff. She wants to buy a FREE DISH STB and see all
channels relayed by DDTH i.e. free dish channels using same dish & LNB. Pl. advise how to go for
it.
VG
^^ You can use Tata Sky dish antenna but you'll need to purchase a new FTA STB to receive DD
Free Dish channels.

can purchase recently released Samsung TV which comes with built-in Airtel DTH hardware.

i shall be thankful. Thanks and Regards Arvind

^^ You can use any DTH dish antenna to watch DD Direct+ channels but you cant use their STBs
or LNBs. You can use your 3rd party STBs and LNBs.
Das
Hi VG,
HD Videocon d2h setup box, given to me as gift. I brought home to New Zealand to watch Indian
programs.
I currently have NZ SKY TV.
1. Does New Zealand have access to connect this box to the Indian network Digital DTH Service
(d2h)?
2. Do you have a contact to set this up?
3. 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. You'll need to buy a new STB from your DTH
company to be able to use its services.

^^ 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.

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.

My tatasky's signal quality is very low i,e 20 below and sometimes it increases automatically above
70 for a few minutes..can i fix it for a stable upto 80% and more..pliz provide me a simple step to
fix it properly
VG
^^ If it fluctuates so much, then there might be some problem like cut, etc in the cable between
dish antenna and STB. 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 .

signal problems. You should contact customer care.
Isha
VG - this is amazingly useful, so kind of you to provide all the advice!
Only missing is dates per post.... This last about TS upgrading/new satellite might be March 2015...
? Many people are reporting our same problem - no signal. And CC is overloaded with requests it
seems, cannot respond?
Many Thanks,
Isha 4/4/15
VG
^^ Yes. Tata Sky is migrating to new satellite and upgrading their systems, thats why several TS
customers are facing signal problems now-a-days.
Situo
Hi VG, regarding this month's signal problem, since the Tatasky service people have not tunred up
even after 3 days, is there anything by ourselves at home? Please advice. 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.
Mac Manjy
Tata Sky HD was installed on 4th April 15 and since then I do not reicieve any Marathi channels.
No service engineer has attended in spite of complaints to the helpline and nodal office numbers.
Some channels are also missing and a message saying "Your Tata Sky Box Is Not Receiving
Signals" appears.
How do I resolve this problem?

2. I also purchased set top box for DD free channels can we use this set top box with airtel LNB ?

You can use DD Free Dish STB with ADTV.

For Tata Sky ongoing issue, my suggestion is to send email directly to their top management,
these scumbags are sleeping since last 14 days without resolution. 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. I am not sure what kind of upgrade takes 13 days and goes on
indefinitely.
This is such an irony where the claim is to provide service, service and service.
I got multiple work orders generated and pending from days on my customer id through SMS
service with no action so far.
May I please request you to get the loyal customers served at the TOP priority.
My sincere apology for clogging your mailbox but I did not left with any other choice than to
bother you.

Hallo Vijay
You are doing a wonderful job. I need your help.
I had replaced the HDD in my tata sky HD+ STB. I had made the file format of the new HDD as
9/23/2015 9:45 PM
25 of 30
FAT32 but still the HD+ features are not working. I am also unable to open above mentioned
hidden secret service menu yet with the procedure mentioned. 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.
VG
^^ The secret service menu will open in all Tata Sky STB so you must be doing something wrong.
Make sure you press the correct key combination to access service menu. Regarding external
HDD, it should work after formatting using STB options.

press Yellow button on your remote and the icon will disappear.

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 download
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 downloaded 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 download 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.

Dear VG,
i accidently did master reset on Tatasky HD receiver. now it does not show all earlier channels. I
can get signal only on IN4A-23 transponder. IN4A-14 gets no signal. Do i need to adjust
configuration?
VG
^^ Master reset automatically restores default configuration so if you are not getting proper
signals, you'll need to re-align the dish antenna to receive signals.

Hey,
I have Tatasky HD, after an update recently I only see everything B/W (using AV as other port
don't work). When I connect my xbox using the same port everything works fine I see color no
issues, I even tried to change the cables still b/w... 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.
Thanks
VG
^^ You will always get such kind of problems when you connect an HD STB with AV port. Did you
try with a different HDMI cable? Also you can try to change HD resolution settings in STB.
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

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

Hi, the Tatasky technician is saying that the earlier hd switch of 1+2 cables needs to be replaced
and will cost 500 bucks. Is there an option of buying this from the market at a lower price??

Hi VG, Have been following your posts for sometime and I have a question/ help to ask. I recently
bought a Onkyo HT which also comes with a universal remote.
Now I want to use that remote to control my Airtel HD STB also. The Onkyo guys told me that the
Airtel STB Remote has a code which has to be input into the Onkyo remote but I could not find
the remote code for Airtel STB anywhere on the web. Would you know about this or anyways to
find this out!!

^^ Sorry but afaik there are no known codes for Airtel STB remote pairing. You should try
Logitech Harmony universal remote which can automatically pair with such devices.

coming , it shows no signal each time any body can solve this problem , I have tested it with my
laptop it is being connected, cable is fine , but only HD box is not connecting Plz help me
VG
^^ It might be a problem in either your TV settings or HDMI cable. First try to use a different
HDMI cable. If the problem still persists, try to restore your TV settings to default.

Dear VG, I did master reset of my tatasky HD stb and want to tune for FTA channels, but whenever
I am tuning , it is showing that 'Signal Locked' even I tuned my dish to FTA chanels.
But I am unable to change the TP on tatasky even after master reset. Please suggest me.
Also let me know the link where I can download any other firmware/software for this stb.
VG
^^ Tata Sky has restricted watching FTA channels in its STB via firmware. So you cant tune it to
other frequencies. And there is no website offering Tata Sky STB firmware.

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.
