Had a look on the forum sponsor with no results.
There is a variable one available from the same place you got the modulator though.

Hi,
I've a galaxy s3 and works ok with wifi tethering, also has options to bluetooth and usb teather but never tried them tbh.
I know an s4 works aswell on wifi.
Both on vodafone irl.

Hi,
Have you tried using a different channel on the modulator?

Hi,
I used this version when I had problems.

Hope it helps.

Original firmware (ash error recovery).

Hi, firmware, like channel lists are not compatable across models, I may be wrong and am open to correction.
From my experience, A120 don't work on 150 and a 150 don't work on a 250.
Thats as far as i have taken it as that's all i have access to.
Better off to put the confirmed f/ware on the compatable boxes.
P.s. are you running in a laptop/pc with true rs233 or a usb to rs232 adaptor as some of these are a bit "sh1te" when transferring f/ware.

Hello,
That happened to me once before, as far as i can remember, but i just flashed an earlier original firmware version and upgraded it then.
I also had to turn off and on the stb after it sync'd, to start the flashing process, .
That was on a 150 though.
When you see " synchronising STBs Done
please reset target", just turn off and on ariva.
It then should start flashing.

Menu, tools, network local settings.
Scroll down to app select, across to use your preferred emu ie: cccam, newcamd client etc..
Press red button (not rec button)
You then can enter line details

hi,
You'll need to make an introduction first.
You'll also need patched firmware on it.

Packages are subscriptions to various channels, ie Sly sports package, 5etanta sports, NC+, C4nalsat Fr, etc.
Nan fix is only a fix to read ecm time in emu, it won't improve glitching.
It just tells you how long it takes for you to receive an ecm from server.
The higher the ECM time, the worse the glitching.
Normally when you press ok twice on remote it gives you your line info and ECM time.
Go to the packages you have problems with and see how long these ECM times are compaired to the packages you don't have problems with.
It give you a good indication that the problem either resides with your setup (if ECM times are low and stable) or with the server you use(ECM times high and fluctuate)

Hi,
Dunno if this will work as thread is old, but have a look here:
http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=35523

How much signal are you getting on both?

Sorry, just read your other thread and 48% on 28.2 at your location would indicate a bad installation, or could be wrong lat/long. Find your location on google maps and use those for your tuner setup. If that fails to work along with MasterG's suggestions, I'd be giving your sat engineer a call back, especially if you paid for the installation.

You could use lnb loop through. (if your duo has it)
In order for that to work, your duo needs to be in standby or off and you need another satellite receiver in your bedroom connected to your rf cable.
Loop-through is a means of sharing a single dish feed between two or more receivers or tuners but only one receiver/tuner will work at a time, the others will have to be in standby or in some cases, powered off.
I don't own a duo so I don't know if it has an external loop through facility.
If you do not have an external loop facility on your duo, a handy alternative is a manual satellite switch.
Can't seem to find it on sponsors website but google it and you'll get the idea.
You'll still need a second receiver in bedroom though.

Hi,
An rf modulator will convert the scart/ rca output to rf for cable.
Not too sure if the scart outputs a signal when the hdmi is in use on a duo though.

Hi.
It doesn't have anything to do with multiple logins.

I share my card from my server with you = hop1
You then re-share my card with your brother = hop2
Your brother then re-shares my card with a friend of his = hop3
Hops is the number of servers the ECM's goes through to get from the card to the destination.
It is customary to allow one reshare on a line so in the senario above, your brother wouldn't be able to re-share with his friend.

The cards are official subscriptions, ie: the ones that come in the official receivers.
Payment options are between you and the card provider.
If you are gonna go down that road, there are far better receivers that will act as servers and can update all channels automatically. You then could setup a share from that receiver to clear the scrambled channels on the ariva. (better to ask advice on here if your planning to subscribe to a provider as not all providers cards can be shared)
Read here for a better understanding:

The ariva's are a tidy "second" receiver for a bedroom etc, but are very limited.

To backup a channel list:
1 Insert usb stick.
2 Goto Menu~Tools~Upgrade by usb
3 Scroll across from "allcode/bootloader" to "Dump"
The bottom half of the screen will show a file called dumpfile.abs / backup.abs (One or the other, depending on your firmware.) This is the channel list file that will be written to your usb stick.
4 Hit start.

To load channel list:
Same as above except:
3 Scroll across from "allcode/bootloader" to "userdb"
The bottom half of the screen should show your dumpfile.abs / backup.abs, If not, scroll across untill you see it.
After the list is flashed, the receiver should reboot.

Regards

P.s. Ask questions all you want, If i can answer them, I will.

Ah no, scrambled channels are just that.
Patched firmware will let you input a share from your/someones server in order to clear those channels, although i have heard official cards work in some of the arivas (I never actually tested it as i only use it as a client box from my server) but not sure if your model qualifies.
As for a 28.2 card, i'd probably forget about hd on that, with all that's going on at the moment. You may have a shot if the card is paired to an old sd receiver but again, don't know if it will work.
I don't receive nilesat.
The patched firmware can be found here:

Scanning a satellite will give you all the channels on that satellite in no particular order other than frequency/transponder.
You can then arrange these into your preferred list or lists if you so wish, eg: movies/sport/etc..
If your receiver hasn't been updated for a long time, your better off starting off from scratch and creating your own list/lists.
The ariva channel editor can be found on the ferguson website.
After you scan in your channels, arrange them in alphabetical order before dumping them to a usb stick. It is easier to find and arrange them on your laptop when your creating your own list.
When your happy with your list, just reload them back to the receiver using a usb.

P/s = payserver
Client only means receiver is not capable to act as a server , only able to connect to server (ie: client)
Your better off getting a decent receiver which can also act as a server and subscribe to a package.
Then sharing begins.

Hi,
I have this working on a 120 combo.
Should be ok to load on both receivers.
Back up channel list before flashing as this will erase them.
Load it the same method as original firmware.
I think it will read some packages with card inserted but never tried.
I only use it as a client box from my server.
