Jul 01, 2013  Openbox S9 Firmware recomendation needed. Discussion in 'FTA Receiver / Equipment. I would like to try a different firmware version and was hoping that someone here would give me a recommendation. This was created to keep time settings on the S9 by Anonimous. Non of the factory Openbox firmware came or have this feature #17 carlospr43.

I have an Openbox S9 that about three months ago started giving me trouble. I have jumpered the polyfuse and that has cured the LNB’s dropping out. However the picture still freezes up. I can change channels and it will play for a few seconds then it also freezes up. I have done a master reset several times and reflashed the firmware.

However I can’t watch it an hour without it freezing. I would like to try a different firmware version and was hoping that someone here would give me a recommendation. I am using the 12/2 firmware now. I need something with North American Satellites, that is stable, and that won’t give me lip-sync issues while recording.

I was at the S9 firmware site but nothing seems to be current. I know this is an older receiver. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This is kind of a last ditch effort.

I fear it is the power supply.
