Hi guys, This is my first time trying to set up an OpenBox. I have googled and searched here and found lots of info in reference to V5 boxes and other models. I'm really confused now with all the info out there. Can anyone please assist me in how to setup my box for Sky Viewing. I'm looking to receive Sky Sports and movies also but don't know how to. I have looked at Clines and Channel lists but i'm really confused as what to do next. I haven't uploaded anything onto my box as of yet.
Openbox V8S is the successor to the predecessor: Openbox V5S. With Openbox V8S satellite receiver you will discover a whole new Full HD dimension. Recording and playback of programs in Full HD has never been so easy and convenient.
Thank you guys and hopefully someone here may be able offer me instructions. At the moment I can receive all the free ones such as BBC, ITV, Film 4, Channel 5, etc. Hi guys, This is my first time trying to set up an OpenBox.

My model is V8 Combo 2014/09/01, S/W Ver V2.2.0043 2014/12/11, H/W Version V1.0.0 2014/09/01. There is a satellite upgrade option but haven't done anything to the box yet? I just plugged in the sat cable and HDMI and switched on. If I try watch $ Channels it shows 'Encrypt Channel' on screen. I'm totally lost now as I have no guide to follow:whacko: thanks man - Post Merged at 04:13 PM - I have downloaded the firmware from techkings.org/downloads.php?do=file&id=481 onto a USB pen drive and my V8 Combo can recognise it, but I haven't actually updated until i'm 110% sure. In hidden menu- Network option press '6666' CS Protocol option appears in there my options are TYpe CCCam / NewCam Server Settings USB account Active Code Setting Apply.
Hi Everyone, This box initially seemed to me as a promising one. My motive was to combine my existing cable TV subscription based on DVB-C along with my other DVB-S2 subscription and to take advantage of Sat2IP.
But the major challenge: all the Indian operators bind the box ID directly, of without card or Pair the card with box ID. I approached the designing team seeking help in customizing V-8 golden parameters to be same as my existing boxes so that I can maintain my valid subscription with then thru this box. But they simply denied to help. Some of the other disadvantages I found in the box after updating to latest firmware release: 1.
Everytime I restart the box, I need to manually 'connect' from the network setup menu. When I tried using Sat2IP feature using the recommended dlna client softwares like Bubble pnp on android devices, the box reboots. On this problem, their designing team reverted saying it's natural in some boxes, can't do anything about it. The box shows 'unknown card' when I insert my valid conax subscription card. Their IPTV predefined channels listing isn't genuine subscription either.
So over half of the channels goes down any time 5. It showcases inbuild YouTube but when I try to play few of the highlighted content, it shows some error & doesn't play the content either. Overall not at all satisfying experience or communication with them. But it might work if some individual designers are working on the firmware and can offer custom builds like many others offered for dreambox.
