Frequently Asked Questions - HD 935 Twin V2 MEGASAT

How do I set up the receiver for the first time?

Connect the coaxial cable to LNB input 1. Connect the HDMI cable to your TV. Turn on the TV and select the correct HDMI input. Turn on the receiver with the power switch. Select your language. The receiver is now ready. For twin mode, you need a second coaxial cable connected to LNB input 2. If using only one cable, change the antenna connection to 'Single (LNB1)' in the installation menu.

Can I record a program while watching another channel?

Yes, if you have two coaxial cables connected (twin mode). Go to Installation > Antenna connection and select Dual (Different). Then set the tuner mode to Tuner 1/2. If you have only one cable, you can only watch channels on the same transponder as the recording.

How do I use the timeshift function?

Press the PAUSE button on the remote to pause live TV. The program continues recording in the background. Press PLAY to resume from the paused point. Press STOP to exit timeshift. You can also enable auto timeshift in the USB menu under PVR settings.

How can I stream TV to my smartphone or tablet?

Install the G-MScreen app (free from AppStore or Google Play). Connect the receiver to your home network via LAN or optional Wi-Fi USB stick (art. no. 1200224). Ensure both devices are on the same network. Open the app, select your receiver from the STB list, and you can control and watch TV on your mobile device.

What should I do if I get no signal or poor picture?

Check that your satellite dish is correctly aligned. Use the signal strength indicator in the Antenna settings menu to adjust. Ensure the LNB and cables are not faulty. If signal is too strong, connect an attenuator. Replace the LNB if necessary. Also check that the correct satellite is selected.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from www.megasat.tv. Unzip the file and copy the *.bin file to a formatted USB stick. Insert the USB stick into the receiver, press the USB button on the remote, select the firmware file, and confirm update. After update, perform a factory reset (save your channel list first).

How do I add a hard disk drive (HDD) for recording?

Disconnect power. Remove the plastic holder from the HDD slot. Attach the holder to a 2.5" SATA HDD (max. 850 mA) using the screws. For thinner drives, use the adhesive pads. Slide the HDD into the slot until it clicks. Power on, then format the HDD via USB menu > Tools > Format (recommended FAT for up to 1TB).

How do I activate the front USB port?

Disconnect power and open the housing by loosening the three screws on the back. Inside, locate the two connector cables (front and rear USB). Release the clip on the connector and swap the cables so that the front USB cable is connected. Close the housing and screw it back. The front USB port is now active.

How do I program a timer recording?

Press MENU and go to Time settings > Event Timer. Press the RED button to add a timer. Set the channel, date, start/stop time, repeat option (once, daily, etc.), and whether to record or just switch channel. Confirm with OK. Alternatively, use the EPG: press EPG, select a program, and press RED to transfer to timer.

What is the default password? How do I change it?

The default password is 0000. To change it, go to Settings > Childlock > Change PIN. Enter the current password, then enter and confirm your new password. This password is used for parental control and menu locks.

8.1 Troubleshooting

You might meet abnormal working of this STB with various reasons. Check the following which may help you.

Problem Possible causes What to do
LED on the front panel fail to light up/is not lit.	Main supply cable is not connected.	Check if the main supply cable is plugged into the power socket.
No picture or sound. Satellite dish	is not aiming to satellite accurately. No signal or weak signal. The LNB is faulty. The cable is faulty.	Adjust the dish. Check the signal strength indicator in one of the channels search submenus. Check the cable connections, LNB and other equipment connected to LNB & receiver, or adjust dish. Replace the LNB. Replace the cable.
Bad picture/blocking error Satellite	dish is not aiming to the satellite accurately. Signal too strong. Satellite dish is too small. LNB noise factor too high. The LNB is faulty.	Adjust the dish. Connect an attenuator to LNB input. Change to a larger dish. Change LNB with lower noise factor. Replace the LNB.
No startup menu on screen after turning on STB for the first time.	The system is connected by HDMI cable and the TV is not in HDMI mode.	Switch the TV to the appropriate AV input.
The remote control is not working.	Battery exhausted. Remote control is not aimed correctly STB is in standby mode.	Change the batteries (both). Aim the remote control at the STB. Check that nothing blocks the front panel. Check if LED indicator on the front panel is showing the time, press the power button to switch off standby mode.
You have forgotten your password.		Contact the dealer or Service Provider. They will help you set it up again.
Poor picture quality or Less channels in scanning.	Low LNB power or signal loss in cable.	If necessary, replace the coaxial cable with a higher quality one with more shielding (dB).
I can not watch another channel during a recording.	You only have one coaxial cable connected. The receiver is not in twin mode.	To record one program and watch another, you need a coaxial line to tuner 1 and tuner 2. Make sure the receiver is in twin mode (check page 10, Tuner)
