[sub101uk]

Does any know what the default Pin number is for a True Visions Samsung HD-S200S , I wanted to check Signal Setup in the Systems Setup menu but its asking for a pin number I cannot find in the manual what the default Pin number is ?

Or is it a case of contacting True .

I picked this up a while back and saved it - I never have used it - so don't know if it is what you want.

First, try turning off/unplugging the HD box for a few minutes and then powering it back up, to include

removing and reinserting the subscription card after it has completely powered up again. Be sure you

unplug the box's power; just going to Standby is not a complete power-down.

Second, try a Signal Reset of the HD box (True has been running how to do this on Channel 12 for weeks

now for their various boxes, but only run in the Thai language…below are some instructions in English)

1. Press Menu on the remote

2. Select Setup

3. Select System Setup

4. Select Signal Setup

5. Enter code 2321 and press Submit

6. Press remote OK when next screen appears. After a few seconds the Signal Strength and Signal

Quality bars will turn pink in level indications with a high pitch squeal which means the Signal Reset

is done.

7. Press OK/Next, which will take you back to the System Setup menu and you will see the TV channel

playing in the upper right hand window. You are done…just press Exit on the remote to get out of the

menu screens and back to the full/normal TV screen. You are done.

Third, try a software/firmware download for the HD box

1. Turn off/unplug the box for a few seconds (do not just go to Standby, completely power down the box

for a few seconds)

2. Plug the box back-in (do not press the power button on the remote), in a few seconds you will see

“Booting” on the box's display panel, as soon as you see "Booting" quickly press Exit on the remote and

then enter the code 2485.

3. If you pressed Exit and entered the code quick enough the box will start downloading and updated

software/firmware, which may be the current version you have installed or may be a newer version.

DO NOT interrupt this download process which will take 5-10 minutes…let the software completely

download & install 100% per the download progress bar. As mentioned, this can take around 5-10 minutes. When the download process reaches 100% let the box continue to reboot itself until it gets back to displaying a normal TV channel over the next 15-30 seconds. Once again, DON’T INTERRUPT any of this process. When you start seeing the normal screen after 5-10 minutes and if you don’t have picture/sound, remove and insert the subscription card....still no picture unplug the box and then repower...but normallly you shouldn't have to remove/reinsert the card or do the power reset. You are done. Note: I’ve done this on all three of my HD boxes at the recommendation/instructions of TrueVisions when I had problems with 2 of the 3 boxes when initially installed a couple month ago….and I even redid it on all three boxes after the TrueVisions switchover on 16 July just for gee-whizs.

In closing, hopefully, I got the steps right for the Second and Third instructions above. I'm on

cable TrueVisions and hopefully it works the same way for folks on satellite TrueVisions. I just did

the Second and Third instructions on one of my boxes while writing this post…the box still works fine.

If trying all three things above and you still don't have have Ch 113 ASN then it's time to call

TrueVisions again. Above 1 thru 3 recommendations should cure most problems with the HD boxes after

the recent switchover....if it don't cure the problem, time to call TrueVisions as you probably have a

bad box/card or TrueVisions has something setup wrong in your account profile. I have the Platinum

package and three HD boxes...Ch 113 is on all three boxes.

Cheers.

Thanks very much RKASA yes it was the PIN number that I was after as I think I need to play with my dish as only getting a signal of 60 % and Sig Q of 20 % its a stanadard UBC size of dish on a clear day I would have thought it would be a bit more than this .

Thanks again for your help .
