Setting up a OpenBox V8S HD for the first time

I'm struggling I've setup the cline but when I'm searching for channels through various satellites no programs are found?

We got the biffstick supplied from the person we got box from but still no luck the signal without having the stick was flickering up to 80% but when we put onto the Channel still comes up no signal on them all. Have tried everything and still no luck losing the will with it now as my sky is perfect picture .
 
Do these boxes work on vm?

My friend has asked if these boxes are any good?
 
hi Grimm, can the internal memeory be increased - thinking that if it can be set to update epg via internal memory, then it saves keeping the usb pen in it all the time? I assume you have opened one up for a poke around lol, think i'll have a look myself !!


well theres certainly plenty of space if I resolder the rear usb sdd ocket to face inwards, I could just leave a usb stick in there permanently, and it would look at lot neater, rather than having it sticking out at the back and getting dislodged etc

I wonder if a double usb would work in there? and yes, I know its prob not worth doing, but its a bit of fun now the evenings are getting darker and of course I would make sure there is still potential to add a usb aerial, so perhaps I might just do a front usb mod instead

I am a newbie to this and expecting my box tomorrow. I have been reading the thread and making notes about setting up. I have registered to access the idiots guide. Thanks in advance for all thequestions I might ask
 
I've got an Openbox V8s. Everything is working well. Set up using a cline.

Only thing is I am not getting the HD channels. I get them all in standard SD.

Am I missing something in the set-up or is it just the connection stopping me getting the HD channels?

Cheers.

Download and install latest CWaites channel list and all should be normal.

Any idea how to open attachments, is there anything I have to set up? I've made a couple of posts so shouldn't be that. Any help appreciated.
