Openbox v8s Channel Loss

[David Peach]

I have lost a large proportion of the channels on my open box vs8. `To be precise, all the V polarisation channels and all scrambled channels (There is supposed to be over 2 years left on the "gift"). I have reloaded all channels, reset to factory settings, reinstalled the CCcam.cfg files and changed the F connectors.
I have not changed LNB as I want to eliminate problems with the box first. Is there anything else I should try?

If you have lost all the v side sounds like l.n.b fault

I take it some of the $ channels are working then?

also check if you gift is online in the ccam setup if you got it from eBay may be a good chance that it may not last 2 years

 

[David Peach]

No none of the $ channels are working

If none of your $ is working that means gift is offline, Press menu and check in cccam setup if it says offline thn you will need new gift.

Thanks for the information, the cccam does say offline.

I have updated the gift which is working on some, though not all, channels. The provider of my dish thinks the LNB could have failed so is sending me a new one. I am not sure I have the up to date channel list though. Mine is updated from the network and the latest available is 20161025 which seems a while ago. I have seen more up to date versions on the net but they are DBS files which I cannot unzip on a mac.

You dont need to unzip the DBS file just send from download to USB
