Hi,
Looking towards updating my Openbox s9 HD PVR box.
It already has the following firmware on it:
HDS2-11-01-02:0899CMT
Only problem is the person I've bought it off tells me it's a clone box. And from a bit of reading it looks like some firmware updates can render clone boxes useless??
So I don't know how to approach this. Anyone else here using a clone s9 box without any firmware update problems??
Is there no official site where these firmware updates are posted? I see number of firmware files around the net posted around forums, but reluctant to try any of them out. So far the latest update seems to be that of 04-04-11
Also I?m aware that new firmware updates deletes user settings, like favourites, cam, cline etc settings?
But this can easily be avoided by backing that data onto a usb stick and then easily all put on again once the box is updated? Sorry but can someone clear this for me please.
I spent ages sorting out my favourites folders, I don?t think I could go through all that again lol.
Just need to make sure!http://www.techwatch.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/cool/rudeboy.gif
