Thread: Azbox Ultra hardware blind scan test

I have been trying the latest firmware fixes the past couple of days and this box does have several serious bugs. The first time I tried the blindscan on Galaxy 16 it worked fairly good but did miss about 4 transponders, however this is still better than nothing and I was able to manually enter the missing transponders and they worked fine with good signal and quality. Well I then upgraded firmware to 4690 and now I can't get signal on any satellite and the blindscan does'nt work at all. I tried the next three older fixes and the same thing happens. Plus the box is very hard to boot, the power LED flashes but picture will not come on. It finally booted when I put the USB stick in it, but when I turn it off it happens again. I am going to try the original 4001 firmware and hopefully it will get the receiver back to where it was. This is not good and I may have to email the seller and ask to return it. Will post back after I load the 4001. I don't advise anyone to buy this box yet, at least not until these problems can be fixed.

Every time you load Firmware, check you sat settings I believe they factory default after loading, including going to PAL.

is there a way to change the default NTSC/PAL setting so that it boots to NTSC?

Once set NTSC, it should always boot to NTSC.
If it doesn't report it on the Azbox Forum, azbox.com

My Azbox {Elite} will normally boot to NTSC, however if something unusual happens, which confuses the Azbox, I think that it tends to revert to old settings, perhaps in that backup directory, so it seems like whenever I do something unusual, and somehow lockup the Azbox, when I reboot, it seems to come up in PAL. Only takes a minute to get it back. For what I've observed, I don't think the Azbox Forum would do any good, because I can't provide the step by step procedure to produce the problem, since it only happens when the Azbox locks up.

I can see how that isn't a disaster with the elite or premium as there is a display however with the ultra it would seem you are f'd.

What? No display on the Ultra? That doesn't sound right.

No display. Just 2 LED lights. One for power and one for Lan. I went back to the 4001 firmware and the blind scan is working again although it misses some transponders. The major problem is it just does not want to boot. The power light will turn green then orange and the unit will shut off without booting. I have to keep flipping rear switch and the remote and sometimes insert USB stick to get it to finaly boot. I have emailed the seller and hopefully I can return it. Guess I should have got the Elite.

Was Azboxusa willing to issue you a refund or credit toward an Elite?
