Skybox S12 First test

[ViP3R]

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..

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.

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

Every time I load a file channels are gone, I have to re scan all sats, re do all settings......Don't know why this happened to you.........

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.
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.

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.
