    Repair Info- New Actuator Suggestions Wanted

    I dug out a heavier duty Von Weise actuator I had stored after my lighter duty Von Weise stripped the acme nut. I glued the magnets back in and put a lot of work in it. It seems the acme nut was about gone because I did clean and grease it good. I just set up a Freesat V7 and a V8 Super and that...

    Gbox + Von Weise actuator with optical sensor

    I hate to resurrect such an old thread but this was some fantastic research and innovation to solve an old problem! I say old problem because I have sort of the same problem but not with an ASC1. I've got a pretty good electronics background and am a ham operator etc. I like to say I've been...

    New Openbox FW Posted At yojiatech.com

    It is dated just as the 12-13-2011 that makes the clock work on the S9 but listed as for S10/S11. I have not tried it yet, busy cooking. It may be the one they hacked for the S9 to fix the clock and translating from Polish it appeared he said the menus were already unlocked for the S9. This...

    Anyone Else Getting Pixelation?

    I'm getting pixelation on everything I've tried from 87w to 139w on my S9. Was watching GMDX over on 99w and moved to 87w METV and was still getting it. Now on G17 and still getting it. Have rebooted, hard reset, checked it all out, still got it every few seconds, like 5-30 secs at random...

    What Powered Hard Disk for S9/S10?

    I have not seen much on this. Some drives cause my S9 to not power down by remote and the picture just freezes. I read about it or I would've thought it was broke. I am talking about external hard disk drives with a power adapter. The Hitachi SimpleDrive Mini 320GB USB 2.0 2.5" External...

    Jim S. Wrote: "The Skybox S9 file posted on wydvb.com works fine on an Openbox S9. The switching problems have been fixed, as far as anyone has reported so far. (I know the 22k problem is fixed.) I'm still using the pre-green-fix firmware though because the blind scan is too slow on...

    Why Do You Think S9 Has New FW?

    I have been going to buy a second HD receiver for quite some time. I haven't because I am not happy with the S9 support. The clock, green pictures, months with no FW release and maybe even hardware issues. When you plug in a HDD it does some strange stuff. I don't aim to knock the box so...

    C&P from another board 1-13-2011: _______________________________________ I sent an email to Openbox & they wrote back, (a good sign) I asked about the closed captioning not working here on the Openbox S9.

    What Is Up With DVB-S2?

    Using a 6' dish and DMX741 I'm having trouble with some S2 signals. I have read to use a 8' or larger dish. Some signals are so strong while on others the Q jumps like an audio meter on a stereo! Most I have tested are C band. Some are Ku and some Ku I just plain can't get. Am looking...

    Does A DMX741 Benifit From The 1/2 Inch Spacer Idea?

    I have read all over about the spacer on the BSC Lnbf but have not found a clear answer for the DMX741. I have tweaked and tuned and it just seems the Ku could do a little better. I'm not getting any of the PBS on AMC 21 125W with a 6' dish. From what I read they are still there.
