Has anybody got the full s ly channel dump. I do'nt seem to get full channels with blind scan

[citygent1911]

How do you guys find this receiver?

Thinking about getting one but can't find much out there!

Is HD decent? Is it reliable? Is it easy to set up & does it need any TLC?!

Cheers

Loading ccam files can ONLY be done via usb and google card sharing to see the big card sharing websites, ask for a 24 hour test off them first to see if they are any good before you decide to pay them ????

Freezing - thats not good, change provider although to be honest most main cline providers have problems with blocking/freezing they are putting too many accounts on

I use a local group of no more than 50 members, no blocking / freezing ever occurs

Firstly what file are you using to create the channel list

Secondly the channel list (tp) must be from the cprrect firmware version or you will encounter problems

Are you sure you are using the channel editor correctly as i use this process quite often without any problems

next question how do u dump ur ccam

[hooley]

next question how do u dump ur ccam

You don't need to dump your c**am. Just load your details back onto the box when you upgrade the firmware, the same way you did it before. I.e through your usb
when you change the firmware your details are erased so you are just loading them on again

1st post here, so be gentle!
I'm going to get the S9 and thought I'd get some stuff ready in advance. I've tried the PVR 800 editor with a channel list file, am I supposed to see channel names or just the frequencies listed, when opened in the editor? I'm only seeing the frequencies, so editing out the unwanted channels in advance of uploading the list to S9, is a bit tricky.

Thanks

[leeryan]

Hey kev, are you going to upload a new channel list with the new atlantic channel? They also renamed living to SlyLiving

[kevhky]

Here you go

Updated channel list with Sky Atlantic and Atlantic HD

Ive also stuck QVC and Bid Tv in the lifestyle section at the end

Also added some adult channels at the end of the Discovery (Just delete them if you dont want them)

Hopefully this time all the headings should be there aswell

bit more info needed, what were you using before? I.e were you having hassle before or is this a new install. Did you load a channel list, are you using a quad lnb, could you try a different box there, or can you bring the box to a mates and test it there. These few things could narrow down your problem

[schnecke1]

to give it to a friend or put it here for other people.

Try rebooting your box switch it off at the back switch for around 30 secs

[handyguy2002]

yes guys ive done reset and rescan

but i have noticed that the openbox picks up 19,13, and 28 sat using the sky dish, but they all come up with same channels just none of the above said channels

could there be a fault with the box or any sort of settings ive got to set as ive not had the box long, about 2 weeks,

using a sky dish with 8 outputs
sky+ cant record
sky+hd - cant record
2 other sky boxes that kids uses for kids and music channels
and old manhatten 3000 box
working fine with all the free channels

im hoping to replace the sky+hd box with the openbox so my partner can record her programs in HD, but she wont use it if some of her channels are not there



cheers

[kevhky]

Handyguy2002

Has your openbox got its own sat lead direct from your box to the lnb or are you using the loop through or a splitter as this tends to cause issues

Its best fo your openbox to have its own, if it hasnt then remive one of the leads from your sky boxes and try that im pretty much sure this is where the problem lies

I can send you a dump from my box that works perfectly

Kev

[gerry thomas]

sorry, just trying to validate a new account so i can download.

[handyguy2002]

hi kevhky thanks for helping

I taken the lead from the record side of the sky+hd box as its not need there now and attached to openbox so yes the box does have its own lead

I download the above file and installed on my box mtv cbs most of the itv HD channels and movie HD channels are listed but they just come up as no signal

when I do a scan i get list of channels that are just numbers so dont know it the channels are there

when I have time I will list all channels that have no signal
and if we can work from there

once again thanks for advise that are given here,

[kevhky]

What firmware are you running on your box

Go to menu then information, let me know ????

[hooley]

Make sure lnb freq is universal 9750-10600
you can do this by: menu/installation/antenna set up.

try just having one feed from your octo LNB to your openbox....i had the same issue until i gave it it's own feed, then i did a rescan and it picked up the no signal channels fine. i am waiting for an in line amp before i can re attach all other feeds from my lnb..

Hope this is of some help to you matey
:manuscarf:

[s23pho]

hi there i need some help setting up my dish. Will the openbox supply a quad lnb by itself?? Will it know how much power to provide, depending on whether im receiving horizontal or vertical transmissions. Also i need to know the polarity of the LNB, just so that i can attatch a battery pack to it through the SATFINDER. Thanks a lot

huge thanks for all this info on this forum.

My openbox is in transit, I am also getting a quad lnb so I can share a dish with an empty flat nextdoor as it seems easier than putting a dish up myself.

Any heads up on the obvious noob mistakes? From reading I may have to set the LNB to universal and also it works better with one feed.

I see a few posts on here with channel lists, keeping in mind this is a fixed dish will it still be a good idea for me to download the channel lists?

i originally thought it was a hdmi issue , however i am now connected with componant cable , and issue still happening,
I have searched for this issue but doesnt seem a common problem ,
Can anybody advise me , online searches reveal nothin , other than "problem channels". Is this the problem channels issue , as happens a lot more on kids nick channels . Will another firmware fix this problem
currently on NM_HDS2_CMT_1101030405
If anybody can help in any way , i would be really gratefull ,many thanks in advance

must be mate , as had another box connecting fine to tv on same componant connection , thanks for reply btw , is it worth changing firmware you think ?

[bighun]

i have been using this firmware for three weeks now it seems to be the latest one Openbox S9 HD PVR Software - New!_Shenzhen Yojia Technology Co., Ltd. (http://www.yojiatech.com/a/about/News_Center/2011/0110/53.html) it is just firmware no channel list so if you want to keep your channel list make a backup then install this firmware there are a lot of different firmwares out there this one comes straight from the the factory that makes the s9

[kevhky]

must be mate , as had another box connecting fine to tv on same componant connection , thanks for reply btw , is it worth changing firmware you think ?

Well thst firmware should be fine

You could either try reinstalling it as may be corrupt or drop back to the november think it was 3/11 or 16/11 not quite sure, befor you uplad firmware in tool restore box to default then upload firmware

Kev

[southpaw]

thanks for your help fella`s , is it worthwhile using bighuns firmware you think kev ?

[kevhky]

thanks for your help fella`s , is it worthwhile using bighuns firmware you think kev ?

Kev

[southpaw]

confession time
and omfg , do i feel such a tool ,
When changing from the dodgy hdmi connection to componant , i forgot to tell the tv and also left the hdmi cable in , subsequently throughout my tests on "componant" i was actually still on the hdmi line .
reflashed firmware , same issue , had another look within settings and spotted 720p 50 , and 720 60 , was on 60 , switched to 50 and now seems perfect . my tv must not support 60htz refresh , only 50 and this caused the black screen problems ,

bit embarrassed to admit my errors but thought i would update incase anyone else is a pure ****in retard like myself
thanks for your efforts lads and sorry to waste your time

Hi,
Im a new member to this forum although i have visited many times. The info on here is great. I've had a dm 500s for about 3 months now and its been great (except epg). I have now ordered a openbox s9 to take advantage of its high definition (and perhaps equally bad epg??) It should arrive in the next couple of days, i've read up on how to update firmware, channel lists and enter cline details etc. But what is the actual latest firmware that everyone uses and where did you download it?
Thanks alot

[SG8]

Kevhky,
Thanks for posting the lists on here, but can I ask you how do you move the channels up and down the lists in the editor programme ???

I can add channels to lists but cannot get them to move up and down to where I would like them.

Thanks

[dell_xps]

Yellow button, (move), select prog then move it up or down m8, press select again to dump it where you want it.
HTH

[SG8]

Thanks for that, but I know how to do it on the box, but it was in the channel editor programme I was trying to find out how you do it.

[dell_xps]

Link me to the channel editor m8 and I'll have a look for ya.

[SG8]

I got it from THIS thread ( link in post #64).


HERE (http://www.openboxforum.com/index.php/topic,20.0/m)

Think I figured it out, you have to use the - and + on your keyboard, you can't just click and drag them.
A bit cumbersome but better than using the remote and doing it on the box I guess.

Yeah, had no problems with that part, just make sure the naming of the file is bang on CCcam.cfg (two Capital C at the start) and make sure it is in the root of the USB.

isn't it about time they addressed the box rebooting problem. It is been a problem quite a long time now and until they get this problem sorted I would not recommend this box to anyone.

maybe they will concentrate their efforts on the openbox s10 and not bother about sorting out problems on the openbox S9.

I check every day in the hope that they've released firmware that resolves this problem, but to no avail.

does anybody even know whether they are working on the problem?

[tab99_uk]

cant find any asian channels in the boughets and it dont say the name of the boughet just says fav1 group 1.

thanks for the boughets


Ok here is the updated Sly Uk Channel list


All HD channels are now first in line in all the categories

Ive added more HD channels too many to mention with a handfull into the movie section

Added a few more adult

Also moved the channels around so best part of them follow the sky planner

I think this list is now complete and wont be altering it until Sky decide to mess around with the frequency's or new channels are added.

Regards

Kev

Hi you have to rename the favs yourself for the first time after that if you continue using the updated lists the favs names will remain, only takes a min or two to rename them

You will have to add asian channels yourself as i dont require them, just rescan the transponders that have them and voila they will appear

Are you sure the rebooting issue you have is not down to corrupt channels, the list i upload is free of channels that reboot the s9

Kev

[mept1]

As kev stated theres plenty of channel lists over the last2-3 months with the rebooting problem channels removed.

[bernado]

Yep, any problems can be sorted in a couple of minutes. Small price to pay in my opinion for a great little box.
I'm using Kev's dump (so to speak) and all's good.

Just some of the sly sports channels and sly news for me. There is a few versions of these channels, some have problem , some dont. It only takes 5 mins to sort it in fairness. Not a deal breaker imo.

Hi All,

Thought I would introduce myself !

I'm Rob from Liverpool UK

I have just ordered my Openbox S9 from Ebay so I will probably need some help when it arrives.

I decided to opt for the Openbox rather than the Dreambox due to the information I have read saying that its really a no frills box, I am not yet ready to tinker so we will see how it goes.

Am i right in thinking its relatively straight forward to configure ?

Can I update firmware by USB drive or do I need to order a special cable ?

[kevhky]

Hi Rob welcome matey

No lead needed bud unless your using an external drive then youd need a usb lead or you could just use a usb stick

Openboxes are very easy to use and configure

Cheap boxed but fantastic HD picture

Cardsharing works like a charm

If you need any help or advice shout up

Thanks again for the channel list, saved a lot of time. I have a couple of questions:
1 - I am getting glitching but only on HD channels, they were fine on the first day i used the box, but now are unwatchable, sd channels are fine.
2- i am getting irish tv adverts for some reason! This is happening on discovery channel and maybe others (cant remember now) Does this channel list have irish versions of the channels?

Hi guys.

Just wondering if anyone else has been having problems with surround sound with this box?

My sound crackles when watching channels that use the ac3 container.

Using latest firmware btw, cheers.

[bernado]

Have you tried turning s9's volume down and your amp/TV up?

[yhbt1mblk]

Have you tried turning s9's volume down and your amp/TV up?

Hi mate appreciate the reply.

I have tried that, read that suggestion somewhere else as well so I changed the volume on the box to the lowest setting.

Still get the crackling through my tv and speakers.

You can switch the audio channel but most of the time the second audio track has audio commentary which can be even more annoying.

Any other ideas?

Cheers.

I turned the surround sound off my tv but it still crackles.

Only seems to happen with channels that use ac3 audio tracks though.

The other audio channel won't crackle but also isn't surround sound and usually has voice over commentary.

What firmware are you using? I'm on 1101030405 without this problem, either via hdmi to TV (downmixed by the telly) or optical spdif out to amp. There is some setting in the menu about digital sound I think, with 2 options to select. I have a feeling though it's something to do with turning AC3 off, which might cure your crackling, but will also remove any surround ability which kind of defeats your object probably.

I have a feeling though it's something to do with turning AC3 off, which might cure your crackling, but will also remove any surround ability which kind of defeats your object probably.

Hi mate.

First had the problems with older firmware but they still happen with the newest firm from last month.

Yes there is two audio options but both have the problem unless I switch to non ac3 but they usually have commentary.

No mate, I'm talking about an option in the Setup menu under TV System, where you can set Digital Audio Out to BS (AC3) or LPCM. If you set it to LPCM it converts a Dolby stream to PCM output. This does work as I've just tried it and watched the Dolby symbol on my amp change to PCM after changing this setting on a channel that puts out AC3 and with that soundtrack selected. As I say before, you'll lose any surround but it might mean you can watch any channel without that scratchy audio you're getting

Hi mate.
Switched the setting to LPCM last night but still had the same crackling sound during some scenes.
Looks like I will just have to live with it.

I think the only answer to this one is a fix in a future firmware update

HI Kev,
How can I proceed to ENABLE english subtitle on my S 9 box?

The NEW firmware released early april, would you recommend me to go ahead and
install same on my box ?

On HD channels I noticed I do not have SOUND whereas the image is a beauty.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hi, regarding subtitles just enable / disable using the sub button on the remote

Hd no sound, it's not the image causing this as I've not had any problem with any image, have you had sound before with earlier images, if so just reinstall or check settings

You will have to upload a channel list or you could perhaps make your own

As for scrambled channels that's all down to the server your using....

If you need more advice just let me know

One question about the dump.
I am trying to access the newcamd.list file but it is stored in a big dump file with .abs extension.

Is there a software to view the contents of .abs file (the dump)?

thank you
