[the man]

OPENBOX S9 , Lip sync KEEPS gooing out of sync
anyone have this on the box?
any fixs?
could it be the hdmi cable?

[belfastdaren]

i have noticed the same at times and changing the audio stream dosent help
ty for any replies

[hooley]

Iv noticed it also and iv read it on other forums also. If you drop back to Februarys firmware it's meant to solve it.

[dekelster]

Can anyone confirm if febs firmware cures this? I also get crackling noises during loud scenes on some channels, notably some HD movie channels. No combination of tv/openbox volume setting cures this.

Seriously considering getting a vu+ duo and moving openbox to another room. Please add a vu section!

[hooley]

Ive not tried it, but iv read by a reliable source that the February firmware fixes this. There is no fix unfortunately for the crackling. Ill try the Feb firmware later on and post back

Lads, I'm on the 14th march firmware and iv not noticed any lip sync problems. You can check your firmware by going menu-tools- information and it's the last line with version in it.
Hds2-11-03-14:0718 is the one I'm using

[dekelster]

Running the same firmware now. Haven't noticed any sync issues :) Still get the odd crackling noises though.

The open box has been a great introduction for me. Soon time to relegate it to the bedroom though and acquire a new receiver.

Tis a nice wee box for a second room alright, iv mine in the kitchen and it's great for getting started. If you need any advice on a new box ask away. Iv a vu duo in the sitting room and a clone dm800 in the bedroom. Either of those would be two I'd definetly reccomend.

[dekelster]

Thanks Hooley.

Basically I want to make my sly hd box redundant.

So I want a box to record, pause live tv, has a good epg and most importantly is wife friendly!

I believe this has to do with the image I select. An image is like an operating system for the receiver?

Thanks again, oh anyone know whats up with cs-kings site?

[mhanbury]

Anyone have a link for the original Feb firmware and not a dump file?

Thanks

The vu duo would do all those things and a lot more also, it's twin tuner so you can record one channel and watch another at the same time, my wife uses ours no bother and she wouldn't be great with stuff like that. It's not cheap but I believe there is a newer model on the way so it might come down in price.

What firmware are you running at the moment? See my post a few back to check

[the man]

newest one , cant find Hds2-11-03-14:0718 you said seams fine

[hooley]

Sorry meant to get back to you earlier, this is the firmware I'm using at the moment. It says the 21st but it's different when I put it on.http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f184/openbox-firmware-21-03-2011-a-196688/ remember to dump your channel list and c**am details before you flash so you can put them back on after.

Don't use this one actually, still the same problem. I'll investigate later a different one

[mhanbury]

Still on the original firmware HDS2-10-07-11-072AMT. Was going to upgrade to the March firmware but then I heard about the lip sync problem so held off for now. Only reference I can find to Feb firmware are dump files with the channels included.

Would really like to just add the original firmware then by own channel list after the flash.

[hooley]

Try this one lads http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/attachments/f184/45499d1294345946-openbox-s9-hd-pvr-linux-satellite-box-nm_hds2_cmt_1101030405.rar
Its just firmware, no channel lists. Seems to be fine.

[mhanbury]

thanks for the firmware link hooley and everyone else for advice. Will try it on the box later.

I just use my open box in another room and a dreambox dm800 as my main receiver.

[bernado]

I'm on that firmware. Lip synch is usually fine, although on rare occasions I have notice it drift slightly on a longer programme. A channel flip up and down resynchs it. The synch of Dolby AC3 audio on ITV HD (London) is pretty unreliable though, so I use ITV HD Granada, which has mpeg audio and is usually fine, the video's a higher resolution on Granada anyway. I've read others with different receivers moaning about ITV HD synch aswell.

Same as myself, they are a great wee box for a bedroom or second room. If you get stuck, ask away

[mhanbury]

That feb firmware is working great for me and I've not really noticed any lip sync issues. These boxes are so easy to flash compared to dreamboxes. With the dreambox after a flash it normally takes me ages sorting out plugins and settings!

Noticed the cccam client is still 2.1.4 in the feb firmware. Are there any firmwares with cccam 2.2.1?

[grungething]

I have only just purchased one of these boxes.

Are these now pretty much redundant?

Looking at the firmware dates it looks as they are really no longer supported.

I have lip-sync problems, but later will be trying to the firmware above to see if it solves the problem. Does this FW work on clones? Just a little worried about bricking it :)
