Openbox S9 HD PVR Linux Satellite Box

[the man]

New firmware released. There was no note with it, so i dont know what it improves.

where did you get that from buddy? cant find a openbox websit ect

[hooley]

.. each time you post in here i hope its to say CCcam server now available.... you keep letting me down

That's why I didn't give info, didn't want to dissapoint you. Lol
there dosent seem to be cccam server yet.

[buzzbomb]

Quick question guys. If I load the new software will I lose my channel lists and CCcam setiings?

[hooley]

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.

Openbox s9 and epg

Hello all,

Can anyone comment for this box if the epg works for uk sky tv for 7 days, or is it just now and next?

Thanks and regards
Kris

Now and next only for sly uk

[Kjc197]

Thanks Hooley,

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 ?

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.

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.

I think i saw them for about ?180.

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
