    Openbox Help with Openbox S 10 hook up to TV (no Picture)

    OK guys Thank you very, very, very, much. I got it! There was nothing wrong with the Openbox. It was the TV. You have to set the TV to the right input. But anyway I got it working only because you all helped. I would not have checked and put the TV where I have now, on the composite setting...

    Openbox Help with Openbox S 10 hook up to TV (no Picture)

    I am getting confused. Right now I am hooked up to the digital TV through the HDMI cable. But it is still getting the over the air channels. Do you mean I should switch back to the red white yellow RCA then do the VFORMAT thing? I am going to try both and see what happens.

    Yes! that is what I am trying to use. The Red White and yellow RCA connections.? I also dug up an old HDMI cable I still had from when I had from when I had a subscription to Direct TV and tried hooking it up to my digital TV with that. I still get no picture that way either. I'm not sure I...

    Openbox Help with Openbox S 10 hook up to TV (no Picture)

    I bought it new several months ago, but am just now getting around to trying to set it up. I have only tried to hook it up to my old analog TV via CVBS RCA cable. I'm not sure I know how to set my digital TV up to work with HDMI. I don't understand about the component, or composite?

    Openbox Help with Openbox S 10 hook up to TV (no Picture)

    I have an Openbox S 10 that I bought a few months ago that I am trying to set up. I have read the manual (which is written in a way that is very confusing) and I have been looking through the posts on this forum and others for help in trying to make it work. So far I have not been able to get...

    Aquired a 12 foot mesh C band Dish

    Well now that it has stopped raining here in Florida, and the ground isn't all mud anymore. I started working on installing my c band dish again. I already have the pole in the ground and cemented in place. While waiting for the cement to cure I started reading the installation instructions...

    List of ZK/FK Channels you can get with MapMaster?

    How can I get the Map Master program, and what is it I have to buy for $68 dollars and where? Now that I have replaced the battery on my 620, and am close to having the 12 foot dish set up I would like to have everything I need for programing the new map as soon as possible.

    I'd rather watch Green Acres than the stuff they produce now, but then I would rather watch a rat fight or paint dry than the stuff thy produce now.

    How did you get into Ham Radio?

    When I was about 10 years old, (that was sixty years ago) one day I stuck a dinner knife into a wall outlet and discovered electricity. Good thing the knife had a plastic handle so I didn't get killed. I started collecting old radios that people threw away in the trash and I'd try to make them...

    DSR-920 4DTV receiver lithium battery issue

    I received my lithium battery from Digi-Key today and successfully installed it. The new battery is dated 5/12. The old battery is marked 97-6 which I think means June 1997. That makes it 15 years old. It is still reading 3.66 volts. I don't understand why it was necessary to change it, but...

    Aquired a 12 foot mesh C band Dish

    I went over and got my 12 foot c band dish today. It actually was not as hard as I thought it was going to be to dig it up. After first taking the dish off the post I dug all the way around the cement then attached a chain around the cement and pulled it out of the ground with my SUV. Here...

    DSR-920 4DTV receiver lithium battery issue

    I just looked it up. DigiCipher 2, what the heck it's just like me. We are not totally obsolete yet :O). It will only take me another couple of minutes to change that battery too, and then it will be there if I ever need it.
