Openbox Openbox S9 Receiver Problem

[Lone Gunman]

Search didn't give me anything on this. 2 Openbox S9s on 2 different systems that I haven't used for a while won't lock the movie channel on 127W except when I do a blind scan?? It will scan the channel in, but I can't view it and get zero Q or S?? Micro HD locks it fine on both systems so there's nothing wrong with the rest of the systems.

Any suggestions on this one and yes, the PIDs are correct as are the TP and SR.

Wasn't there some issue with some versions of firmware that did not work with 720p?

 

[Lone Gunman]

Hummm, don't know if there was an issue or not as nothing showed up in the searches I did. Haven't used the S9s for about a year now and the TP and SR had changed on that channel but scanning them in then not having them show ANY Q or S afterwards is really weird.

It is an S2 8psk TP which I understand can be harder to lock.

I will suggest you to update the S9 to the latest release file which is compatible for S9, S10, S11 etc dated 06/18/2012. This is a 3 columns type version and tuning capacity is much better. You will also need to identify if the feed are 16, 32 APSK since some stbs can handled them and other dont.

Yeah well, seems as though ALL the firmware that was on the old board is now gone?? The price of "progress" I guess? That and there's NO firmware of that date on the Openbox Receiver website. Version on these receivers I have is 6/24/11, which is also the 3 column display type.

I'll have to look through my 4 computers to see if I "might" have downloaded 6/18/12 before it was sh*t-canned.

Thanks,

Try this. I believe its from this site.

 

[Lone Gunman]

Hey thanks jorgek, but I found it on one of the 6 hard drives in this computer. Just got done installing it then did a rescan of 127W and it does the exact same thing as the older firmware did. Oh well!

I guess this is just another of those things that make you go..........Hummmmmmm?

 

[jorgek]

Too bad I don't do C band, it would be interesting to try it out. This last version of FW works well on my S9.

Delete transponder in question. Reboot receiver. Rescan.
That's worked for me and a few other S9's from time to time.

Yup, tried that one with both versions of the firmware, ie, deleted ALL TPs on 127W before I scanned it on both the old and newer firmware. Same old dodo.

 

[jorgek]

Stupid question. Did you reboot the S9 after the delete of TPs?

 

[Lone Gunman]

No? Just hit enter when I exited the TP menu to delete them? There was nothing in the TP menu afterwards? Will try that with the old firmware that's back in it now.

 

[Lone Gunman]

Nope, still doesn't work jorgek.

 

[FaT Air]

Well, I have to admit, my S9 also will not scan in a couple TP's. Can't off hand remember which they are, and it's not this one, but if manually adding the TP info then scanning the TP the channels are found. (oh! one is that heros' & icons tp)

 

[jorgek]

Same as Fat Air, some TPs will not scan in and have to manually add. I think probably most STBs are the same.

still running a s9 here, 11-12-13 firmware, (that is 12/13/11)
i am pretty sure that this is the last actual openbox firmware that will work with the s9
its the best i've found, anyway.
this firmware has both accurate scan and blind scan.
both seem to miss certain different transponders, but if i use both scans, it seems to get everything.
if you want the firmware, pm me your email addy.
some people have made channel lists and named the firmware they use with a later date, but it is actually earlier versions.
some skybox firmwares will work, but i havn't found any of them that the timer worked with

Latest from Yojia April 2012 give you the 3 columns features similar to S10 and works fine, give it a try

[ynnedibanez]

thanks man, i'll give it a try.
i'd somehow missed that one.
what i'm running now is 3 column as well, and seems fine for the most part.
i've gotta check out the newer though
