Thanks zoomaz. Something I've noticed though; 'The Antenna Setup', 'Single Satellite Scan', 'Multiple Satellite Scan' and 'Transponder List' sub-menus of the 'Installation' menu are greyed so you cannot do any scanning with this firmware.

edit: It also seems a little less stable generally. It's locked up a couple of times whilst I've been doing the factory reset and updating my channel list and other files.

This is a minor bug in the firmware. I found that by going into the satellite list menu, deselecting the satellite, pressing menu, then going back in and re-selecting the satellite and pressing menu again, the scan menus are ungreyed.

Asian sats

Loaded the firmware for the Asian sats from this site http://www.yojiatech.com/index.html it had the European sats on it when I brought it which were no good for me living in Australia.
Managed to set it up on Optus C1 but it keeps rebooting at various intervals which is a real pain.

Firmware from 21/06/11:
From another sites feedback.

Backup your old firmware and settings first and then perform a Factory Reset before any firmware changes.

Just upgraded to this.
No problems so far, media player plays MP3s, MPG, MP4 & MKVs but not AVIs, well at least not for me.

Now only if they could fix the EPG

[bernado]

@Manic01 - What are the EPG improvements on 28E

Thanks

MANIC- Do you know if the new firmware 21/06/2011 would kill a clone box?

[Manic01]

@Manic01 - What are the EPG improvements on 28E

Thanks

I can't see any, I just posted from another sites feedback.

Bah. A member from another forum has noted an EPG increase of several days on a, lets say 'exotic', paid for channel that's not on 28E. So it looks like the EPG is as good as it's going to be on 28E, due to the EPG data simply not being available outside a Sky or Freesat setup.

[Manic01]

It can be got on TM5402 etc so is def poss with some work on openbox. Down to openbox team to fix.
