View Full Version : DSTV pin codes
I guess with a (OTA) software update to my 990 decoder they changed the pin codes for TV installation and dish installation and all that, they used to be 9949 and 9929, i tried 0000 and 1234... nothing works now :(
any1 know what they are?

This is a good case of RTFM.
RTFM = Read The 'Funky' Manual.

Here's what I dont understand - everyone pretty much knows its 9949, you cant change it, so why bother with a code in the first place? :confused:

Try unplugging it from the mains and then try 9949 again. Otherwise post on the dstv.com forum and a techie is sure to help you.

The DSTV decoder's pin code can get corrupted when a software update fails. To reset the code you need to select "restore factory defaults" from the menu. After that 9949 should once again work :cool:
