hi, I am using this box since last 6 weeks and is working fine for sly uk.... In the begining the box had a rebooting issue , but after change the software it is working fine.

[pitman1791]

after owning this box just for two weeks im
selling it:)i think this says a lot.

im new to linux and it is my first linux stb,so i
can not compare whit anything else.

it is my own judgement of Open s9:

PQ is little bit better after the last updates,but
still nowhere near that i expected, on both SD and
HD.
it is keep freezing on premium
channels.pixalization and PQ distortion are also
there.not sure if this a server or the box.

SD PQ is awful comparing to freeview.

connecting via HDMI to telly it is like watching
3D without glasses,so im use component.not sure
again,maybe upcoming updates will fix it?

does not support FTP and Telenet.

nothing at all to play with(usual dreambox things
like images etc.)


altogether i give it 2/5.
2 stars, first-easy to use,second- low price.

[pitman1791]

this is last updates

[tony1998]

greetings to all! I have just taken and I would download this file to true s9 HD but the administrator says that I cannot... That must I do? Greetings from tony1998.

I have about 20 of these boxes out with ppl. the picture quality you mention is defo your server the picture quality on the servers we use are every bit as good as the dm800. as for not having ftp or telnet why would you need this if all you want to do is watch sly tv. for the price it is unbeatable. not perfect but compared to what is out there is is miles ahead of the compotition.:celticparty:

[polo2kilo]

I agree with Data 7 the picture Quality is as good if not better than my V+ HD box. I also have no freezing problems on cccam and newcamd. for $125 you get an HD receiver which preforms very well as a client. Unbeatable in my opinion.

[jfish]

is this same as the Skybox, got quoted sample box for $85 and say $15 shipping, comes to ?70 quid

[Manic01]

They are all the same openbox/solomond/skybox just some have different firmware.

Hi anychance of a link or PM with a link ? :) I'm looking for one of these as the cheapest i've found is ?110 inc del

you are dealing direct with china. that is why it is cheap. now if you want to go to the trouble of importing them paying customs ontop of your ?85 then sell them for ?85 and say they have a problem with it and send it back to you to fix or send back to china at your cost then you might know why they are ?100 plus to buy in this country m8.:celticparty:

It's 85 dollars, not pounds, and he wouldn't pay any customs charges on that amount, the threshold is ?135.

[satsmo]

No problem, as per your pre-edited post, I understand that they are one in the same, but the timeline of posts and naming of STBs may confuse peeps if merged.

However you seem like you know this particular box inside and out so if you really want them merged and think it will help I will do so. Just let me know.

[ph1l]

sorry satsmo i'll watch what i say,big thanks to hooley and the site anyways for the help ive been pulling my hair out for 3 days on this,will keep u posted as theres not alot of info on these receivers

was wondering - the post on the openbox s9 hd, the last entries were deleted and my post( & pm) to the guy selling one

you need to go deeper into the Antenna menu - set to diseqc 1.2 then goto > menu > antenna settings > scroll down to motor settings > OK > position settings or limits > OK on position settings & move the motor east or west using the remote. Don't forget to set the motor position number before you save.

Hi there hopefully some can help me ive got a SkyBox S9 HD PVR and when looking through my channel list the box decides to reboot itself and then turn back on :banghead:.

Can someone please help........

Also every 30 seconds or so the picture crakles and goes sort of pixelated.

Thanks

[ams3521]

Try pulling out the lnb feed into the box and it should start up ok.

The problem lies with certain sky hd channels i believe, theres an astra channel list somewhere around the forum, try updating your channel list with that via usb and the box should work fine.

[ams3521]

The astra channel list can be found here..theres also a text file in there telling you what to do.

this problem wll continue until next firmware. make a note of the channel. switch the box off. take lnb antenna out. switch box back on. go to menu = channel list and delete that particular channel (see ur user manual how to do that). reboot the box and problem will be sorted.
by the way iv had my box running for a couple of days now and i must say im really impressed, a lot cheaper than most boxes out there but very good, picture quality is very good. apart from the sky channels and no epg issue it looks good.

You will need to use this tool, connect a serial lead to the box and follow the instructions.
Hopefully it will bring your box back to life.

Tried this update today ~ Box reboots with sly HD and then every time I change a program (even SD) it reboots ~ managed to revert to august f/w and everything back to normal.

[romey]

I'm looking at purchasing the openbox. Does this have the ability to use softcams? If not, is there any way of using the keys required?

I see that one of the firmware updates allows the use of vi@ccess 2.5 but not sure what this actually means. lol

Have you tired unplugging it from lnb, turning box on, then deleting some sly channels. Think the sports ones have been mentioned. This should solve rebooting problem.

When you have the option to 'browse' for file, make sure you select the correct HDS2 dump you want to use not the default .abs file that comes with the uploader tool.

Its usually the latest firmware release that should be in this forum somehwere.

[loose_cannon26]

I have been using my Openbox S9 for months now and have to say for Sly uk it's fine. 13 and 19 east I would probably not recommend. Picture quality on HD is good. I have found issues with sound on Sony tv's though. A new firmware was released a couple of days ago that is a huge improvement. Just do a search for nm_hds2_cmt_1009270839.abs and you will find it.
I did have rebooting issues two firmwares back but that is now resolved.

[loose_cannon26]

I would just like to add I only use CCcam as a receiver, I would use a Ubuntu server or my old DM 7000 for anything else. This is not a hobby box like a Dreambox. It's a turn it on and watch TV sort of affair, it has a clunky interface that does exactly what it says on the tin :)

My final thought is ?100 - ?130 is not a lot to pay (a lot less if you look to Hong Kong) for something this good. Otherwise you could go down the DM800 Clone route. So, do you want to watch TV or tinker. If it's TV, this is a very low cost, well built option.

[hypersonic]

thanks to ams3521 for solving my problem.
1 was loading the wrong file.
I used the oct f/w abs file and switched on the S9 just after going for the next button.

Many thanks from hypersonic:congrats:

Hi I have a dm500 and I am looking at changing to a HD box is the openbox a good box? or will I be annoyed by the lack of menu?

Thanks

[hooley]

If you want a basic box for watching tv and nothing else its perfect for the price. If you like to tinker a wee bit and want a better epg maybe spend a bit more. The menu is basic because its a basic box that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Skybox/openbox , does not run on Linux

[manxspud]

It runs on a closed linux not open linux.

@manx

[sob1467]

It runs on a closed linux not open linux.

@manx

I am not trying to this thread of topic but can you briefly describe whats the difference between open linux and closed linux.

[manxspud]

Open source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. Open source code evolves through community cooperation. These communities are composed of individual programmers as well as very large companies

Closed is the opposite .... source code not available ect ect

the os for these boxes is basic, does not give the owner much chance to play around. No telnet or ftp , cheap and cheerful hd boxes. Am tempted to get 1 myself.

@manx

[munna_07]

excellent explanation mate, thank you

Hi folks. I heard mention of $85/box from China/HK earlier in this thread. Does anyone have a link of a reputable supplier (as i know quality varies depending on who you order off)?

1. French HD channels
2.CCCAM Characters
3. Add Hungarian, correct French Language

This release correctly addresse's the French HD Issue, and as long as you have access, the channels are now opening.

not my work.

hi guys just a quick question ive backed up my channels by usb stick how do i send them back to the box

[dorchester]

use the upgrade by usb option
then i think you select misc files and tick which files you want to update.
Tools > Upgrade by USB > Upgrade Mode: Misc Files > Select and Upgrade > TP_PROG.dbs > Add > Upgrade.

Turn satellite receiver off, remove lnb cable. Turn receiver on and delete offending channel. It's normally some sly channels, the sports which cause it to reboot

At what point is it rebooting?

Hi guys..
Just noticed a wee glitch today..

Should the remote be going into sleep mode.. when its not in use for 15 mins.. ??
The only way i can wake it up is to reboot the box manually with the buttons on the front..

Anyone else had this problem..??

also.. any EPG available for 28E..?? if yes.. how do i install it.. ??

Gents keep the c:line posts down a bit please.

[romey]

Well I've read up a bit on the box but still haven't found out if this box can accept keys?

My second option is a DM800 which I know does quite a bit more, but at twice the cost. Thanks

[munna_07]

latest firmware.

1. Solve France HD channels cann't be played well
a. upgrade the firmware.
b. edit the replace.list like this:
X: { { 1811 } { 0100 } }
c. update the replace.list by mgcamd
2. Add hungarian ,correct french and russian language
3. solve the cccam's short characters problems, add from 17 to 32
4.Add much more CCCAM accounts,it can support 9 at most
5 Add NEWCAMD Server Setting,it can be taken as server

not my work but enjoy

Just got one - loaded the new firmware (20/10/10) from usb, then the sept fav channel list, but reviever just keeps saying `boot` and wont start fully up.
Tried the serial tool upgrade but just comes back with "set stb memory error"
Can anyone help?
Thanks

[z11]

After being off and disconnected for a few hours there it has come on. The channel list- can that be loaded from usb( *.abs files option)?
Are there any channel lists on here edited for most sats?
Thanks

STB memory error is to do with the image your flashing over. You might have to try a different dump.

Try the tool & helpfile on the Openbox S9 thread by adeobolo further down this section of DK.

[z11]

Was gonna try that and tick the bootloader option as when it crashes it says `boot` and tries for a time to start freezes then only shows `on` (with the lnb unpluged) then after being off for a while will start, but i still cant get the prog to connect to the box(serial settings are ok and its the lead i used fro my Tm1500 &5400).

just repluged in my eagle box with same lines and its perfect. There seems to be some glitch with 19.2E and dropping the code/lines.

Ok- this seems to help a lot, if not solve the prob -
Factory reset, then firmware 20/10/10, then 24 sat ch list 1.40, the replace list file, last the clines.
The box seems to need a factory reset before new firmware etc.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

box looks hit and miss to me

[z11]

Prob no different i hope to a lot of other boxes when they came out- i think AZ/spider/Tm3000/plus others had glitches with early firmware.
The last sequence i posted with firmware 20/10/10 seems perfectly stable now.

do you get a buzzing sound when the box is in standby?

No my box does not hum in standby.
still some probs on 19.2 back again, but not as frequent.

thanks , if anyone knows why it buzz's in standby pleases let me know, could it be cos iv only got a shaver 1amp adapter?

the pics tops , get some sound pops when changing some channels as-well (any help)?

[munna_07]

ye iv noticed some popping sounds when changing channels aswell.

[buzzbomb]

Had my Openbox S9 for just over a week now and overall very happy with it. Good SD/HD picture quality, easy menu, quick scan, good PVR and great price for what u get. Only problem I've had other than the well documented freezing on certain sport channels is that since I loaded my config file the OSD when pressing the info button lasts less than a second and u cannot toggle it onto the other 2 info screens. Have altered the OSD setting to max (10 secs) but it makes no difference. Anyone else experienced this.?

[buzzbomb]

OK cancel that last post. OSD now back to normal. Suspect it was the complete de-powering last night that solved the problem but will no know for certain until it happens again and I try de-powering again.

[the man]

anyone getting a buzzing sound when the box is in standby?
get your head close to the box guys, i have really good hearing I'm wanting to know if its the same on all box's or if i have a bad one , i also get the popping sound Thu the TV when changing Ch's

[z11]

Mine is ok - no buzzing or popping- sounds like a faulty psu.

Ok still happening on 19.2, some new thoughts;
Since it doesnt happen with my eagle(dm500)box with same lines and setup plus others here are not having the prob, looks like it could be a glitch with certain routers-mine is a safecom- prob a lot of clones for these.

[the man]

Mine is ok - no buzzing or popping- sounds like a faulty psu.

thats what im thinking can it be the adapter iv only got a 1amp shaver/toothbrush one do I need a good travel adapter?
i dont know a lot about that sort of things,

[z11]

You could try a 3 amp adaptor to see but still think could be a faulty component or connection in the psu.

[ams3521]

yes you can, you will find the menu you want in 'Network local settings' off the main menu.
I'm suprised the box doesn't recongise it through usb, might be a long shot but try formatting it to fat32.

Hi guys,

Both my dad and myself have had open box's for a few months now and they were really easy to set up, Picture quality is very good on hd channels, no problems with rebooting and the box is quiet and cool.. Have had to rescan to get back a few sky channels (fx+, bbc4) but other than that its been great.

I have one minor annoying sound issue that im wondering if anyone else has had... On some HD movies i get a cracking sound that im thinking is due to my setup not being 5.1 and stereo..Anyone else get this problem or no a fix?

Edit: It mainly improve the followings:

1. improve France HD channels playing problem again

2. Correct Russian

3 .Optimize the server

4. Optimize the reading smar card function

5. adds much more europe satellites and so on

Stolen from elsewhere, it will give you idea anyways

Yes you will, just save your channel list with the dump feature and your cccam settings onto a usb stick, then load the new firmware and put the other stuff back on after.

Is there anything else on the market of a similar price that will record externally, and has a more full EPG? Not worried about all the cam stuff, just view and record Sly uk, preferably with hd support as well?

Now and next only for sly uk

is the box capable of a good epg but the softwares not at the moment ?

[hooley]

is the box capable of a good epg but the softwares not at the moment ?

I've read elsewhere that it's on their to do list, if it happens that's another thing. Most of these closed source boxes only have now and next, spiderbox, protek etc... If you want 7 day epg you will have to go down the dreambox, vu duo route.

I'd say your best bet is a dm800 clone. They are a bit dearer but they will do everything your looking for
i have been using dm800 hd pvr clone for almost a year and i have set up a few openbox for my friends and frankly speaking openbox is nowhere near dm800.

[Kjc197]

Thanks wfy. Is there any recommendation as to where to get these, apart from googling dm800 clone? These appear to be a lot more expemsive than openbox, and I would really like to keep the costs down.

[hooley]

Ukdreamboxshop seems to have a good reputation from people on
here,satfooldeals also. You could
purchase directly from china but if something goes wrong you will have the expense of sending it back. Some people will probably come on now and say they never have a problem.There are plenty of threads about where to purchase a dm800, just have a search.
I know you want to keep costs down but if you want the 7 day epg and a lot more features you should spend the bit extra and get the dm800. This is going way off thread, have a search as I said, loads of info on this site

[wfy87]

Thanks wfy. Is there any recommendation as to where to get these, apart from googling dm800 clone? These appear to be a lot more expemsive than openbox, and I would really like to keep the costs down.
the price down here is almost the same as in uk - about 150 to 160 pound. i have the experience of buying the goods from china but then if anything goes wrong, you have all the troubles to send it back to china.

for openbox the price here is almost half of that dreambox. i bought one for just rm400 or about 80 pound.

Hello http://cardsharing-x.com/Smileys/default/5.gif
All the time my receiver to boot and reboot when I switch the channel NTV Hayat, who is on Eutelsat 2 16 degrees. What needs to be done that it would not be happening, that could've seen this channel?
I have NM_HDS2_CMT_1010200755

[hooley]

Your best bet is to power off the box, remove the lead going from the dish to your box, then delete the channel that is causing the problem. Plug the lead back into the box and power up again.

[braco70]

but, if you rest tita on the channel?:hmmmm2:

[hooley]

but, if you rest tita on the channel?:hmmmm2:
Sorry man, i dont understand you there

[braco70]

but if I want to look at the channel?

[hooley]

but if I want to look at the channel?

Do you get the same channel twice when you scan? With some channels you get a few copies of the same channel. With sly uk some of the sports channels caused a reboot so you had to delete the channels that were causing a reboot, but you would have a few versions of the same channel. I don't know does that make sense.

[braco70]

no, I have only one channel and it always happens when the chase to watch the channel

[hooley]

no, I have only one channel and it always happens when the chase to watch the channel

I don't think there is anything you can do then unfortunately. Edit: try a newer firmware, that might help. I can't link now, I'm on my phone. A new firmware came out in the last few days.

[braco70]

I have already tried it, but it's the same thing

New Official Firmware Released [HDS2-10-11-08:1100CMT]

What's New:
1 .. Sat List contains a number of additional satellites.
2 .. CA Slot Settings additional feature included 'Edit Smartcard Config' which seems to be for Irdeto based cards.
3 .. When entering Hex values in Key sections, the symbols are no longer recognised.
An example of this would be:
Enter 1 and only 1 is displayed, Enter 2 and you still get the option of a b c 2, as the letters a-f are included in Hex values.
The following numbers 0 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 will enter directly, making it much easier, and quicker to directly enter any Hex keys.

And entering BISS Keys will still achieve nothing, which is a shame.

Code:
Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: NM_HDS2_CMT_1011081100.rar (http://hotfile.com/dl/82186309/e9c284a/NM_HDS2_CMT_)

[markb28]

Had an Openbox for a few weeks now...I'm using it against UK sats only.

Pros

For the ?75 shipped, my box is running cccam like a dream (client) and very easy to setup. All HD channels work properly unlike many dreambox 800 clones, good pic and sound, fast boot up, doesn't get hot and runs silent. Basic recordings work well. channel browsing is quick. Stable performance and decent remote. Also an on/off and navigation buttons on the box that is useful when you mislay your remote. Would be good to supply to non tech people.

Cons

It's quite big
Looks cheap
Lack of EPG really reduces recording functionality
Lack of internal HDD
Menus are basic
No add ons
Organising favorites and channel lists is painfully slow and cumbersome

As the dm800 I have glitches on too many important hd channels (Sky sports HD1 and ESPN HD among them), it is now in my bedroom.

However I would definately recommend an Openbox instead of a 500s - its only about 20 quid more and does the basics really well.

[pauluz233]

hi i'm new with this but my skybox has a reboot isseu also for 3 days it was ok but it was getting worse and worse i'll hope new software works?

[z11]

Ok still happening on 19.2, some new thoughts;
Since it doesnt happen with my eagle(dm500)box with same lines and setup plus others here are not having the prob, looks like it could be a glitch with certain routers-mine is a safecom- prob a lot of clones for these.

Ok update- router proved to be ok, what i think now is that the box is more sensitive to the strength/quality/number of users on the server with the clines provided than other boxes (ie my eagle), when it logged in on quieter periods it worked perfect, so good quality clines and there should be no probs im thinking.

Hi can anyone say if they are clearing s*y germany HD and C+ French HD on ASTRA 19 east with their Openbox S9. I have loaded the latest firmware 10 11 08 thinking that would solve the problem but still no luck. All other HD channels that should be clearing are ok.!!!!!

[opsmonkey]

it'll be down to the server you are connected to...

[buzzbomb]

that was my first thought opsmonkey but I am on a very stable server and it has been confirmed by other server members that these HD channels are opening ok.

are you running the latest firmware..??

are you running the latest firmware..??

found this on another site ;)

replace.list for openbox S9 - Solves Sky DE and Canal+ FR HD issues

Click Menu ->
Network Local Settings ->
MGCamd Plug Settings ->
Update Files by USB-> replace.list [MGCamd Plug]

Now click either the OK or Green button to select
replace.list and place a check mark next to it, once the check mark or tick is visable
click the Yellow button to upload.

You can then if you wish, check to see if the replace list has been correctly added, by
clicking Manage Config Files and clicking on replace.list

If all went well, you will see the

following lines
X: {{ 1833 } { 1702 }}
X: {{ 1811 } { 0100 }}
I could never get that to work, I could see those X lines but sky de hd channels wont open for me either and they are fine on my Vu+.

Thanks guys for the replies. Have the latest firmware installed Opsmonkey Will try adding the replace list file and see what happens. Am I correct in assuming I can input the file on its own and it will not affect any of the other settings /files etc

Hooley are u opening the french HD channels?

[hooley]

I'm not clearing fr HD on 19 either

No, and I doubt there will be either.

[z11]

Correct me if im wrong - hadnt checked in a few days but i thought both those HD channels were opening for me before- not now.

Hi guys just an update on the replace list solution. Loaded it this morning and the first s*y sport hd channel I went to did not open. Read on another forum I should try toggleing between the SD and HD channels but that did nothing either. Then moved to another s*y sport HD channel and bingo it opened. Tried some of the french channels and they were open too. Zapping thro the list I find that some open while others dont. Will use Lyngsat to do an exact check on what opens and what doesn't and let u know how I get on

[danyperry571]

is there any box that does 7 day epg

Could be my server, maybe I don't get HD on the fr channels. I know that I get HD on the de channels but they won't work on my openbox. I'll check later on my vu. Edit: some of the fr HD channels are clearing on my openbox

[buzzbomb]

OK this is what I am now getting
German HD 10773 H all clearing
11023 H all clearing
11914 H all clearing
12382 H ESPN clearing

French HD 11778 V ok
12012V family and cinema HD not clearing
12207V Nat Geo HD not clearing
12581V Arte and 13Eme not clearing
12607V only Eurosport clearing

Hope this helps.

You will need to look at a dreambox, technomate Linux or vu duo if you want to get a 7 day epg

Openbox s9 is the only one that is being discussed here. That's the one to go for.

Thank you, on a 1 to 10 how do you rate the S9 for setting up, and running, Cheers!!

Need a little clarification on this box in regards to its EPG.

I understand that there isn't a 7-day guide for the box but does it support, for instance, a 3-day guide or is it just now and next?

Just in a toss up whether to go for this or the DM500S. I've been offered the S9 for $128 or the DM500S for $78. Any help on choice would be appreciated.

I understand at those prices the S9 probably has more of a resale value if I decided to get rid of it. But the DM500S seems to have more 'out the box' features.

It's now and next only, if I had a choice I would pick the openbox. Because it's HD and the dm500 is not.

Just a note: the Openbox S9 HD spec reeds ......10) Support PVR(store in USB disk);
11) Multimedia files playback(by USB);
12) Support Electronic Program Guide(EPG) for 7 days;
13) Teletext and subtitle out through OSD;

so the openbox S9HD is supposed to support a 7 day EPG

You will get a 7 day epg with some providers like sly de. It's up to each provider wether you get the 7 day. Some Linux boxes like dreambox, tm Linux and vu duo use plugins to provide the 7 day epg. The openbox dosent have any plugins like this.

I have just got mine today and set it up without a problem.This might help.Copy your ccamconfg file to desktop format usb stick to FAT32.Put your cam file into usb stick and plug it into the box.Upgrade via usb and press green button to activate.Make sure there is a tick next to your c:line.Save and reboot and it should do the trick.

[binary]

Hi Hooley, I agree with you, the word they use is 'supports' not 'does'. you only get out what you put in. lol

[taree]
