Openbox v8s - Scrambled channels not clearing
Hey guys!
I know... it's been a while Hidden Content ... missed you all too!
Anyway, got an Openbox for a friend and am setting it up for him. Seems to be all set up (i.e. image sorted, cccam.cfg sorted, TP_PROG.dbs sorted, epg downloaded, ethernet working fine, weather app downloads data about named cities fine to prove internet is accessible...), but... the channels just aren't unscrambling.
When I use the same cs lines on my other box, they work perfectly fine and all non-HD channels work.
Googling around seems to throw up suggestions on the no-signal diode fix... but, it seems that's only valid if some channels show up as no signal.
Bear in mind
- My cs lines are multiroom enabled and will work on up to 4 boxes on the same IP
- All scrambled channels show up as "No Signal"... only FTA channels work
So, what could be the problem? Any ideas? Should I grab myself one of these no-signal-fix diode connectors?
Best regards,

Cheers Gazza,
Tried both ethernet & wifi... both show up as connected and get an ip address correctly within my domain. Checking the weather channel also indicates the internet is working. The CS lines show up as "online" in the cccmd config in the network section (Network > 6666).
And as I said in the first post, the CS lines work on my vu+ duo perfectly. Just don't seem to work on the bloody V8S for some reason. This is the most bizzare box I've worked on so far! Frustrating and annoying. Perhaps more frustrating is my inability to put my finger on what the problem is!
Anyhow, thanks for the pointer... anything else you reckon, that could be the problem?
Gazer - thanks for the heads up... Hidden Content ... you sir, are a gentleman and an officer!
Best regards,

Only other thing I would say is a factory reset and try again with another image......if that don't work........... last on your list: The no-signal-fix diode connectors
Hope you sort it mate.
Regards
Gazer

Got some time today and tried it on another TV (nearly after a week or so), and even the FTA have "no signal"! Bloody hell...!
Yep... cline's active. Network is active/working.
Does anyone have a working image that I can request at all? Or screenshots (or values) of settings?
Best regards,

Hi gazza,
Thank you for the reply. My box is indeed an Openbox V8s. From what I see on skybox.cc, the image is the same for V6 and V8... they don't even have a distinction between the V8 in as V8/V8S/V8SE. So, I would assume your image would possibly work on my box too. But, please make sure you take the cccam.cfg file off prior to taking the backup.
I've had a long conversation with the seller on Amazon - at the end of which, he finally refunded me the money for the box. I'm not out of pocket to be honest, but, I'm convinced the box crashed when the power supply went kaput, and, I think the tuner has conked off too. Perhaps both went at the same time... I simply do not know. It is this lack of an answer that is annoying me.
So far, I've tried all possible firmwares and channels lists - cwaites, AJ's list, skybox, eopenbox (eopenbox being the best)... et all. Nothing! The box just does not get any signal at all... a single satellite/multiple satellite search yields nothing at all either.
I've even tried the No Signal fix and swapped the LNB... neither worked. The "no signal" is on EVERY channel - even FTA channels.
The same feed & CLine work on my friend's VU+ duo box though... they just doesn't work on the V8S...!
I don't know what the satellite transponder/etc settings should be... but I assume these get reset to what's on the image and if they work for others, it should work for me too. The signal bar shows at 36% strength and SNR shows 10% strength. I don't really know what these should be, and, I can't recall what these were when the box did work. If you could send me screenshots of the settings, that would be great too...
Personally, I think something's gone wrong with the tuner. Is the tuner conking off a common fault with these boxes?
Once again, thanks for your help so far. Much appreciated.
Best regards,
