Khan when you say you can't scan these channels, how do you mean? Is there no signal on the transponders ofvthe channels you deleted?
Apolgies chaps, this was resolved yesterday and totally forgot to add a post here.
This is what I did manually entered the transponder which was 11836 27500 H
Scanned this and got channels back.
Was trying to work out last night, why some channels work with some servers and others not with the same server.
As some channels are double, they will only work with particular servers.
While looking into this accidentally deleted 1 transponder (God knows which one as over a hundred)
I now can not scan *** Premier 1, +1 and no doubt a few others.
Have tried a few things, ie factory reset, this has not worked.
Do not want to load a channel list as some double channels, I may need for different servers.
Any ideas how can get the transponder and missing channels????
Many thanks

Western digital seems to be ok as long as it's below 1tb. It is a bit hit and miss though so don't take it as gospel lol. Do a quick google and you will find a few examples
Thats what I tried mate, WD my passport 320gb usb and it did not work.
Will 100% be staying away from these :o)

Glitching would be the server's fault I would think. I'm using firmware from march and my box is working perfect, latest firmware won't make any difference I'd say.
N lines load same as c lines through USB . Mgcamd is done through menu of box.
Is you're USB powered? The openbox's USB dosent send enough power by itself to power a hard drive
Thanks for that mate :o)
Entered N line as c line an this worked a treat!!!!
Whats the process of mgcamd mate?
You seem to know alot about these boxes lol, I take it you have done a phd on them :o)
My hd is a usb powered only, which drive would you recommend that works 100%?
Cheers

Khan more bad news for you , the epg is now and next only. :( It is one of the major drawbacks of this box.
You may need to format your external hard drive to the box for it to work.
You can do this through the menu.
Also if it is not a powered hard drive it may not work because the usb doesn't give enough power . This mightnt be the case but ive read of a lot of people with this problem.
Lol thanks for the heads up mate, that is indeed bad news about the Epg and yes major flaw had I known that before purchase would not have gone ahead. Hopefully a software update can resolve this soon.
My latest software on my box is from May having tested a few servers alot of glitching on some channels and others not so much.
Is this software related?
Not sure if I should download latest firmware as just put my channels in order and deleting the problematic channels do not want to lose this by downloading new firmware?
I have only tried 2 servers so far and could be the issue rather than firmware?
Reformatted the external hard drive does not make a difference can anyone recommend a make and model that differently works?
One last thing been sent a n line and mgcamd to test server, how is this saved on usb?
C line is saved CCcam.cfg what are the save modes for the other lines like n and m?
Many thanks

Managed to sort out a few problems ie certain channels were stuck and kept rebooting the box, this issue was resolved be simply deleting the channels usually *** sports and some others.
Puchased a western digital 320gb hard drive, the openbox will not pick this up?
Drive is fine and was checked with my pc.
Epg on openbox currently shows what is coming on for the next few hours ie 2-4.
Can anyone help with this as surely you must get at least a days worth of epg on these boxes?
Cheers
Khan
Thank you all for the help so far much appreciated.
I have encountered a problem with looping with *** sports it seems to reboot and a few other channels also very hard to get out of this annoying channel and seems to be stuck there and just keeps rebooting.
Second issue is deleting channels, this feature you would think would be straight forward and user friendly far from it have tried to delete channels and does not work any ideas chaps??
Extremly dissapointed in the poorly made openbox, have had many other recievers ie Eurovox,Kryptview,dbox2 on cable side all quality boxes until change of encryption derailed things.
My first sat box and to be honest so far regret buying it. :o(
Decided to go with a Openbox S10.
Can someone help with a guide how to enter c line?
Also a channel editor?
Thanks
Khan
Hello all looking at purchasing a Open box s10 or dreambox 500s.
Although at present looks like the openbox s10 due to its recording features.
Which is the more reliable box?
Can someone advice how reliable these units are for picture quality ie is there alot of glitching?
Also would appreciate if someone could recommend a working hard drive for these units like 160 or 200gb.
The satellite side is totally new to me, however plan to learn and help as much asI can.
Many thanks in advance for all your replies

Having a look around on this fantastic informative forum and do not see a sports section.
Would be great to have a sports/football section!
Just had a look and indeed there is a football section.
Great Stuff
