Is there any model of SKY receivers that is be compatible with STRONG srt4640.
I have some Patches for sky receivers is it possible to use them on SRT 4640??

Sky x2, but you have to jtag in sky x2 firmware initially.
Then you can use the normal serial loader to load in the sky x2 updates.

thanks for your reply.
but what do you mean by jtag?

Jtag is a 20 pin port inside the receiver, useful for repairing dead receivers or
converting receivers to use different brand firmware.Jtag firmware is a full 2meg size,
instead of the usual 700k .stb file.Jtag uses the parallel port on your pc.
The srt4640 will run sky x,maxplus 7300,or coolsat 4000 firmware if you jtag
said firmware into the receiver.You use a combination of 2 programs,jtag_up
and jkeys to do the conversion.You can get more info by searching for simple jtag.

Hi Guys,:-worship

Would you know if the Strong SRT3730 box is compatible with any other model for which i can still get the flash dump file for. The box is dead and i am told that the only way to fix it is to Jtag the box. I have looked on the net but as yet have not found the said file.
