Dsr-905 very sluggish

[truckracer]

Remote control commands and channel changes delayed by 10 seconds or more.

I converted this one to x4 only with srl. It is miserable to use.

My other 905 is not like this, it still has all of its maps.

I gave up on my dsr922 for the same reason. Was subscribed to SLR last year. I was too used to the snappiness of my Openbox S9...

This thing is so slow to flip channels...it is frustrating. i may ditch programming on that one it just sucks.

Do you think it was the x4 conversion that caused it? Just curious. Always contemplated getting an x4 sub.

Have you tried a soft reset,unplug/wait/plug back in ? If that doesn't help you'd probably have to do a master reset.But with an MR you'll likely have to do the whole set up routine to get the X4/H2H to work again.

I have plugged and unplugged. I may do a master reset. This is a neutered box anyway.

I would try a master reset.

After reset select satillite G0 and then CH 10. (Wait about 15 minutes and you should have X4 Sat) Attached is mike kohls step by step.

I have also read that too many channels slow down the old ancient chip.

something has made this thing a turd. can i do a master reset then reload x4? this box is already neutered anyway.

I just checked G0-10 & it wasn't there(for me anyway) G0-13 was & is a digital carrier. With your dish pointed at X4(105w)do a MR then go to G0-13(in your satellite selection, not moving the dish of course!) & wait for 15-30 minutes for maps to load. Then select satellite X4(W5) after the basic satellite maps have loaded.
Then go Options 6-0-5, then to Diagnostics C screen. Channel down until you see a 1430.00 in the middle of the screen. This is 216(Style channel). Call or go to your WebSAMS login for a hit.

I've done this a couple of times after the December cutoff with unconverted 922s ONLY doing an authorization reset. Even one with the dreaded 1920 count. It works!

I recall now that my 905 did much the same thing after a guest did too many commands too quickly while scrolling through the guide on a satellite other than X4.

After I had let it sit unplugged for a few weeks the response was much better. By then my sub had expired & so had to call for authorization, again.

Good luck with yours truckracer!

i may try decommisioning it. or maybe master reset.

done the master reset....it is all snappy and fast again!! Thanks a bunch for the advice!!!

 

[brex2001]

You're welcome!
Glad to know the patient survived.

 

[truckracer]

my 905's are getting really old. LOL

 

[brex2001]

At least they're growing old with dignity. Still useful in old age.:

 

[truckracer]

I agree. I wonder if there is still a decent supply of dsr-xxxx that can be used with skyvision and srl?
