Is there a shortcut to getting Openbox S9 out of the PAL mode? I am using the YUV RCA jacks to a CRTV. Picture keeps rolling.
Switch Openbox S9 from PAL mode to NTSC

Tried again it is in the right mode now, I have the setup screen. Sucks doing this in between commercials. My wife is watching the news on the IV200.
I think it my Panasonic CT-32L8G does not like the Openbox S9. The MAGNAVOX in the bedroom is good picture does not roll. Remote extender not good.
As usual it was me, the wife was going to let my buy a new HD TV! But first I made one last call to John and while I was slowly hitting the format button BINGO it likes the old old TV after all
That V. Format button is a nuisance. On the rare occasions you might want to change video formats, you can navigate thru the menus and access the same settings, this time by choice. I poped apart the remote and put tape on the circuit board under that button. No more V. Format.
Does it pop open using a credit card from the side? I don't want to crack it, that's my kids job.
There are 4 tabs, 2 on each side that take some firm prying with two screwdrivers per side. You might gimp up the plastic edge a little, but just as you think it is going to break, it pops open. Snaps back together, good as new.
Man the kids took the batteries out of the camera! I used a metal spatula popped it right open, one side at a time thanks.
Finding a screwdriver in this house, is like trying to find the batteries for the camera. I lucked out it fit in the grove perfectly. Next is to stop using a pen drive, (one show at a time) for the PVR. Many thanks great idea.
I used my hot glue gun to disable the V Format Button. Just one small drop bridging from the case to the button will not let it be pushed. Yet, if that button is ever wanted the drop of hot glue can be cut with a knife in a heartbeat. 8valve
Openbox S9 remote & IV200 Remote
When I had it apart the two buttons that are on the bottom either side of the 0 (they worked) but I did not pay attention to what they did? Like last channel, did anyone else try the hidden buttons when they had it apart? I keep picking up the wrong clicker they are the same size and shape.

The similarity between the Openbox S9 and the Visionsat remotes is striking... I wonder if the same manufacturer was responsible for both receivers. As much as I love my Visionsats, that would nudge me toward the purchase of an Openbox.
Funny, I spent less for the Openbox S9 HD then the Visionsat back in the day. Now as usual after I buy one they have a sale $140, nine bucks less then I spent
Okay tried the component output no sound then went into the menu screen TV setup of course it is asking me "No OSD Show. Press V.Format Key to Switch" Should I pop the cover on the remote again or is there another way? I should have just left it the way it was on composite video out.
