Oh and I thought I had explained myself quite well (apart from a spelling mistake)
have a look around the forum. Theres no end of people looking for patches for Strong receivers. And not finding any. Conclusion - either no-one is making patches for Strong receivers any more, or there not easily available.
Result you dont get to play with patches with that receiver, so you dont get to watch scrambled channels.
Thus either make do with the free channels OR buy another receiver that you can patch.
Simple really.
