maybe accurate scan would be better than blindscan,but takes longer.

Depends on what sw version your using. My skybox s12 is using C2HS2-11-07-14:0651CM and the only choices are blind scan or preset scan.Quote:

On my S9 I use the following file, it has the accurate scan option and will work on the S9,S10 and S12.

Some files work better for some than others, but nothing wrong with trying different files that work the best for you and your setup.
The sifteam site had an inethds12 file released 4-15 but it was just the old firmware with an updated euro channel list.
Where can I purchase an Openbox S12 that is reliable?
I got mine from Mixeshop and have not had any problems. They shipped the receiver fast. It got here about the same amount of time as it would take something from the West Coast to get here. I chose DHL shipping though. You can save 10 or 15 dollars by choosing airmail shipping.

remember to back up the original firmware first if you decide to play with any other firmware.
I found in menu something that said dump. So I dump all I could check mark to an USB thumbdrive, were like 5-7 things a few were if I remember correctly api. and some were images. Suggestions.Quote:

you can also dump via rs232 and via the lan manager
The serial port needs an adapter I don't have yet, all I do for now is USB, LAN this is new to me, you are talking about Ethernet Port?Quote:

Thank you! I just ordered mine from Mixeshop for $77 including DSL shipping to the US.Quote:

I don't have one,but the serial port looks like the old pc cdrom audio cable.
Maybe you could salvage and roll your own.
Lan manager is the ethernet port program.
You paid about as much for the receiver as I do for a tank of gas in the van. I think you will be happy with it.Quote:

IMO, 77 dollars delivered is about all any Ali receiver is worth when compared to everything else that is on the market now. EB
Hello did second test last night on 91west blind scan and CW Channels didn't show up, entered the tp Manually and nothing.
The Legit firmware file mentioned earlier will have the CW channels. I do not know if the information for them is still correct, you will have to try it and see.
You may be able to get a plug for the RS232 connector if you can find an old computer. That is where I got mine from. EB
I also tried a file can't remember wish one and after reboot tv screen was bouncing, I used the dump I did of the factory firmware moved it to an empty thumb drive and guessing with remote control loaded the factory file and all is good, I'll try tonight the file you gave link on page 1, will report tomorrow.
Thanks in advance TURBO
Tp info for the CW channels has changed Turbo:Quote:

6 channels scan in, no pid numbers required.
Thank you Costa, That Freq was the one I entered manually and no quality on that TP.Quote:

Hey Turbo
What dish size are you using for 91W?? I'm using a 10 footer and the CW's come in real low eventhough the images is steady/ HD and watchable. Most of the S2 Tps usually come in with low quality and some tweaking in the LNB is necessary.
5.5' offset solid Dish. I was having good quality before they went HD not sure but it was 59-62% qualityQuote:

That tp is scanning in at 85% on my skybox and 100% on my azbox.
This file Vip3r suggested is the one I am using, so far I'll keep this one, being raining daily so I can't aimed the dish to diferent sats.Quote:

I loaded this file last night on my S12, but using it scanned in duplicate channels on SES2 C band. I then loaded the original firmware and the problem went away.
Never had that happen to me with that file..Been using it for I don't know how long.Quote:

Okeedokee, I see it after I posted. Is there anyway we can merge both Skybox 12 post actually open?? They are almost related to the same thing
The skybox file is under Openbox files.. they are the same..So we just use Openbox 9,10,12 discussions and files..Quote:

Every time I load a file all channels get delete, after boot I have to re do the settings and re scan channels.Quote:

You can save your channels and settings to usb, then you can restore them after changing firmware files.
There are a bunch of files out there that will work on the Openbox receivers. The ones that worked the best for us are posted here.
I have loaded at least 50 different files since the Openbox came out as a Solomend. For the past year, most of the files have done about the same in scanning and features. A few features have been added to some of the last files, and there have not been any new Openbox files since the end of 2011.
The Openbox S12 has a bit more memory than the S9. You can remove the cover on the S12 and get the chip numbers to verify this. EB
Hey Turbo
Send me a PM , i think I can help you with details instructions as to how to do a dump copy and/or a TP/Sat back up so you can load them back once you update the firmware
If you save the userdb with rs232 then use mst firmware tool to import into new firmware,after you load it picks up on the channel you were previously watching.You may have to do a few minor tweaks after that,like time zone.
probably not being utilized,if the firmware is just s10 firmware.Quote:

the s9 serial loader is based on 128meg of ram,according to the .ini and eromclient.abs files.
One of the loader packages you actually had to choose the files based on processor type,ram size,flash type.
actually,the mst firmware tool lets you import the tp_prog.dbs into the new firmware before you load it.
A few tweaks are needed afterward,like time zone and language.
As soon as I get to a computer I'll PM you, with cel phone it's almost impossible to send PM. Thanks TURBOQuote:

Almost a month and loving my Skybox, what I don't really like is the remote control signal, you have to aim directly to STB for comands to take effect, reminds me the CaptiveWorks remote control, other than that, I love this mini receiver.
