    I do a bunch of recording with my S9s mostly on 127W now. There's some stuff there that both the Wife and I like. I will note that I do have some problems with the S9 and also the Micro HD occasionally locking up on REELZ?? Anyone else having this problem? Just saying..................

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Old? Like as in C.R.S! Yeah, @77 I have my share of that! No, haven't tried the Micro HD remote on the S9 but I do remember there being some link there. Will do that some time later today after I get back home from another Dr appointment. :-( I found my S9 manual here in the shop, BUT, the...

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Went and looked it up in the manuals section, BUT, the PREV/NEXT key that it says to use DOES NOT exist on my S9 remotes?? Another WTF moment I guess. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to continue to use the Micro HDs for playback until I wear them out.

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Hey I just noticed that I put "S10" in that last line??? WTF was I thinking? :rolleyes: Yep I've got 2 Open box S9s, not S10s! Sorry!

    Openbox 30sec "JUMP" Forward/Back Playback Function in Openbox S9 receivers??

    Well, I'm sure this has probably been discussed in the past at some point but @ 77 years old I can't remember? My Micro HD receivers HAVE this function and I LOVE IT!! I've noticed that my S9 receivers show this function in the "PVR Setting" menu called "Jump" and like the MIcro HD it gives...

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    And don't forget how inexpensive these old ones were compared to some of the other stuff out there. The most expensive receivers that I own (IIRC around $250 each) are an AZ Box Elite and an AZ Box Ultra HD and they both were junk years ago and now sitting on the shelf collecting dust! Both...

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    UPDATE: Got parts this AM and I'm watching TV on 103W as I write this. Those new caps were about a quarter inch TALLER than the ones I took out but the specs were the same. Maybe that will help them last, hey. And on another note, I've got another question about video on this receiver but...

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    Nope. The ones that have been replaced in the other unit are the same specs as the originals, just a different manufacturer. I found 5 pieces for $5 shipped and I should have them by Thursday and I'll have a few extras. :thumbup Just saying...............

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    Update: Well, I got up this morning and decided to take the power supply out of the one that wasn't working and try it in the one that was working and I got the same blinking display as with the other one. And after looking at the power supply out of the working one it "appears" that those...

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    Put my meter on that thing today and checked the voltage at the RF out to the LNB and the voltage peaked at around 19v when it first came on and then the power turned off and it went to zero and back on was up and down and up and down, etc. It's cycling off and on at about twice a second +/-...

    Openbox Openbox S9 Boot Problem

    Hey guys, one of my S9 receivers has horked up. When I try to turn it on "ON" and the red led in the display are both blinking and it won't start? IIRC those things did have some power supply problems in the past so I'm hoping one of you can tell me how to fix it? Any help? Thanks

    GEOSATpro GEOSATpro MicroHD boot loop

    Yup, I still have two Micro HD receivers, one of which I'm saving for future use and the other one gets used EVERY DAY for playback!!! And not only that, but I also have two Openbox S9s that are still used regularly as well for recording stuff that the Wife and I like to watch and those S9...

    GEOSATpro microHD Database Editting

    Just an FYI for ya on the channel delete stuff. I did the same thing a few years back and since then have always deleted channels first then transponders after that and, I've gotten to where I just automatically do that on all the receivers I currently use, ie, I made it a habit I guess but...

    GEOSATpro Micro HD Boot Problem?

    UPDATE: Well, after transferring all the data files from a working Micro HD to this one with the boot up problem it was still having boot issues. So, I went ahead and did a “clean install” of the June 2013 firmware and started from scratch. I’ve got 6 satellites in it now and it’s working OK...

    GEOSATpro Micro HD Boot Problem?

    The one I've got that's working "normally" is a used one I got from Dave a year or so ago and that firmware and user database are what's in the funky one now. I loaded those in it a while back but they didn't fix it. I'll try that again later today. And speaking of Dave, I saw he was online...

    GEOSATpro Micro HD Boot Problem?

    Michael I've got 3 power supplies and all of them do the same thing. Primestar, I've got that software but I have two of these and my "working" Micro HD software has been installed in this funky one and it still does the same thing? I'll try to reload it again just for the hell of it but I'm...

    GEOSATpro Micro HD Boot Problem?

    One of my Micro HD receivers has had a boot problem now for a while and it's getting worse as time goes on. What it's doing is, when I turn the power strip on to boot up it won't show me the "RED" LED at 15 seconds into the boot process and it seems to lock up and not do anything more. I turn...

    Openbox Daily Timed Recording Problem With Openbox S9?

    With one of my last two Micro HD receivers starting to screw up I brought out my old Openbox S9s a couple of weeks ago to do daily recording. They work kinda OK with one exception. When I set the “Daily” timed recording for the Decades channel on 101w they will record the next morning at 8am...

    Openbox Openbox S9 User Manual?

    UPDATE: No "prev" or "next" buttons on this remote? And the right and left arrow keys on each side of the "OK" button raise and lower volume. The >>/<< keys are both for fast forward and pressing them more than once raises the speed..............no jump. I've also tried it with "Time Shift"...

    Openbox Openbox S9 User Manual?

    Openbox Openbox S9 User Manual?

    Well, there must have been two different remotes used on these S9 boxes because the one I have doesn't look anything like the one in the pictures in this manual?? In fact, it appears to be the exact same picture as what is shown in the Skybox manual?? This link is a picture of what I have...
