    Hi daz, hd recordings do take an awful lot of space. To get an external hard drive you should contact our sponsors Creative satellite. Iv not done any recording with my box but iv read you should get a external drive with a power lead.

    The site sponser do a nice solution for you . It is a rf modulator by labgear. Very easy to setup and has a booster included in circuitry. Give creative a shout buddy


    regards


    t


    I had a look before i linked the maplin one. I couldnt see one on the creative site. where is it?

    There is no way at the moment of using the openbox with the TNTSAT card. Your friend could maybe purchase a cam, but iv been reading that the TNTSAT cards may be changing during the summer from 3.0 to 5.0 viaccess. So there is no guarantee that any cam you purchase will work with the new cards

    There is no real way of checking unless you enter a cline. When you enter your details andreboot the box it should connect then. If you go into the menu ,network set up, cccam config you can see if you are connected or not

    You are such a pain daz. Only messing dude. One feed is all you need for openbox. Sly + needs two feeds so you can record one channel and watch a different channel at the same time, it has two tuners. The openbox has just one tuner, so one feed is sound

    Hi daz, all the stuff you need is included in the firmware. It couldn't be any easier with the openbox. Everything will become clear when you get your box. If you get stuck we are here to help. So, don't worry dude.:)



    How tricks man.
    Have a read here http://linuxsat-support.com/op…rmware-openbox-s9-hd.html
    You should have no need to go back to any old firmware. Is your box a clone or an original? Thats the only thing you should have to worry about. If its an original you have nothing to worry about. If its a clone there is no guarantee that this firmware will flash ok. You will also need to save your channel list so you can load it back on after you flash the new firmware
    TO save channel list go to Menu, Tools, Dump to Usb, Misc Files and Chose TP_PROG.dbs
    Press yellow to dump to usb
    You will need to load the channel list back on after. Put the channel dump file on to a formatted fat32 usb stick, insert into box,
    Go to MENU > TOOLS >Upgrade BY USB
    Point to MISC Files then arrow down to SELECT & Upgrade and press OK,
    Press green button to add TP_PROG.dbs


    Press yellow button to copy the file

    Ya, you're right. Iv read elsewhere you can't set up a recording when you remove the symbol. I think I mentioned it in the thread where the symbol was discussed previously. Good man, I dunno would I have thought of that
    edit: I just checked there, I said that it was meant to mess up any timed recordings, now we know it messus up pause also

    I was helping another lad and he had the same problem as you. He got it working eventually. This is what he said:
    great news got my box back from the dead, this is how. latest firmware, openbox s9 old loader, pc with dedicated null modem port(on motherboard) null modem cable, and fingers crossed
