This new 233 bin seems to have accomplished the listed corrections as well as eliminating most, if not all, micro-freezing with my V1 unit. Also, channel changing is quicker as well when going from a channel to the guide and vice-versa. Still, no change in the PVR function which still has lots of freezing when playing back a recording. Once the PVR function is corrected, it seems to me that most of the major problems will be solved.

Up-to-date: Scanning is still very slow starting with the 217 bin. It took me over 40 minutes to scan 3 satellites, 110, 119 & 129.

this new file has a problem, i can only get 2 hr epg, when you try to load the 9 day epg the box will defalt to sat 129.0w, or am i the only one with this problem.

[amo77]

same here only 2 hr,I was hopping for cc

[Satking]

Edited my post reported on wrong file -this file is good the only thing I found was the epg -seems like it will not write to
usb drive or erase on start up! As a programmer you cannot create a path /Root every time you start up need to check if path
exist first then update.

[Angel Eyes]

works nice here ..so far....v1

[iq180]

works nice here ..so far....v1
do you have a 9 day epg or just a 2 hr epg.

[amo77]

I have two days epg,I was hopping for cc
I hope next file will have cc.

I find a vast improvement with this bin. I am using two DPP lnb's on two different dishes with a SW44. The settings finally work. I found only one tp which I had to manually scan (12486 on 110). When I manually scanned it I initially did not get any signal. I sat on it for a while and suddenly the signal popped in. I then scanned and it caught all the available ch's on the tp. The response on the remote is much improved as well. I also seem to connect to ps much faster. Good work, JB! Once they get the PVR straightened out and the epg longer than two hours this stb will have lived up to (our) hype. Thank You, Jynxbox!!!


One addendum....it seems the s/w does not want me to watch porn. While running through all the channels I notice that tp 12253 will not scan a single channel, even when I let it sit for a long time. I can even occasionally get signal (78/85) but it acts as though there is nothing on that tp.....oh well........

[sHUNter]

Found that 233 had scanning and motor control problems.

When I rescanned after the install it does not find anywhere near the channels that 217 did.. so went back.

I have now shelved it as it has just too many issues.. keeps cutting out. recordings cannot be played anywhere else, encrypted:-( EPG appears to be a problem... just to name a few..

[crazy carl]

Hmmm I think its just different strokes for sifferent folks brother as I have read that the new file has given the best scans to others...

[daryld]

Lots of epg issues still left to be resolved as well. Still, 233 is an improvement. Keep em coming, Jynxbox

I loaded file 233 but servers wouldn`t connect just 1 only so I reloaed file 217 and it went through all the procedure but when it rebooted it wouldn`t come back on.Anyone ever have this happen.

do a hard boot with the power switch on the back of the reciver.

Installed 233 but didn't see any improvement over 215.

Autoscan on 91 and 82 gave me roughly half the TPs and channels. I cleared everything and did a blind scan on both of them. Now I have all the channels but most of them show up 2,3 or even 4 times in the EPG. I hope JB fix this in the short term.

My next step is to take take note of all the individual TPs for each channel that I really want, and manually scan them...

this is not a jynx problem, this is a user problem not taking the time to read.

[svtcontour]

I upgraded to 233 and have scan problems. I clear all birds and try to just scan 110,119,129. But it scans every single bird, even ones I did not choose. And when I restore a back up all the bird listings are scrambled text. Will be going back to 217. Now is this only good with dual tuner?

[publicsd]

Well since I don't seem to be alone with that problem, why don't you share that knowledge and show us where we will find that info?

Until then, it's a Jynx problem shared by many.

To isolate every sat you want to scan you have to initiate the scan through the Dish Installation (or Dish Settings, can't remember). You select the sat in the top field and there should be a legend at the bottom telling you to press the red button to Scan. You'll then access a menu to initiate the scan. You have to repeat for each specific sat.

[iq180]

ok here it is, menu, dish setting, setup what sat you want to scan, press exit 1 time and go down to manual scan and press ok, now
you see the tp list press ok 1 time, now use the up arrow to scan mode = normal= fta only no=scan channel (tv channel)=
network search yes= to change the settings in this window use right or left arrow, now that you have that go down to ok and press ok. do this on each sat, and you mite want to do a factory reset before you start, thats in the tool menu.
hope this helps

It is not a Jynxbox issue but a user issue not learning the box and capabilities throughout the menu and set up procedures.

Thanks for the info. It's actually a method I'd never used before and it may help people to overcome their scanning problems.

However, it didn't work for me. I followed -exactly- your instructions, factory reset included, and the results were:

- 91: No more double channels in the EPG (yea!), but many channels were missing. And by 'many', I mean it.
- 82: Got all the channels... including doubles and triples in the EPG.

So for the moment I'm back to blind scanning, and it's a Jynx problem until I'm proven wrong. :)

Could the polarity setting be the problem? Both are set on Auto for 91 and 82, but I noticed that while scanning Horizontal and Vertical (still can't understand why they're labeled that way instead of Left/Right as Lyngsat suggests) is mandatory on 91 to get all the channels, it seems superfluous on 82 as I get the channels in multiples on both H & V TPs.

Thanks again.

when you have 2 or 3 of the same chs you have to many TPs in your tp list, or if you have missing chs you have missing tps,
go to lyngsat and look at the tp list for each sat, your list needs to match there list, so add the missing tps and delet all the ones that
dont match there list.
this will fix your problem. ( do not use blind scan, thats how you end up with to many tps and extra chs.

For one you're not following instructions... You DO NOT blind-scan bev satellites... It's as simple as that... Blind scanning doesn't follow the sat template, it scans every frequency and every fec within a set range. Blind scanning is for true FTA, not bev..
To me it sounds like your 82 lnb is misaligned...

Lynsat uses the proper terminology for circular which is rightward rotation for Vertical and Leftward rotation for Horizontal.
All receivers label their transponders with H & V even though they are not linear.

[publicsd]

That workaround you're proposing illustrates my point: there actually are missing TPs for Nimiq 1 (91) in the Jynxbox bin. It's flawed. It's a Jynxbox problem.

As per what you suggest, there are probably to many TPs for 82 in that same bin. As soon as we'll find a third sat that has an inaccurate TP list in the Jynxbox bin, the demonstration will be complete and the conclusion obvious: that bin is unreliable when it comes to provide a complete TP list for the autoscan.

Now, my core need is to get all the channels I want, and the workaround I personally chose is to blindscan. That way I don't have to go back and forth between the lyngsat list and the menu to remove or add TPs every time a new updated bin hits the market. Some may call it laziness; my belief is that time is a non-renewable resource that I prefer to spend watching TV instead of fiddling with a TP list. That's my choice, and I don't judge others who prefer to go the other way around.

And don't get me wrong: I love my box. Beside the stubborn EPG and some sluggishness when it comes to remote input, it works pretty well and I like it.

Nevertheless, back on topic. Bin 233 works fine except for TP scanning that's an almost complete fail for 91 and 82.

Let me reassure you of something: my 82 alignment is as good as it can get in my area. I'm getting 85/80 most of the time and HD channels come in crystal clear.

You may consider I didn't follow the instructions, but I did and these instructions don't get me what I need them for: the channels. Are you on 91 and 82? If you are and followed The Instructions, I'll send you a bunch of channels to try out. You'll see by yourself what I mean.

Thanks for the info about Lyngsat. Somebody asked the question in an other thread but never got a clear answer like this one.

TPs can change from day to day, if you want to play the game you need to learn how it is played, i gave you what you asked for
and that was a how to fix your problem, no binfile is perfect and no binfile will have all the tps, thats just the way it is,
i am a tester, not a free TVer, and i say it is a user problem not a jynx problem.

[BADASSDAD]

Missing a bunch of channels upon rescan. Any ideas? Tried a couple of times. Still took a long time to scan. Still love this box. Thanks Jynx team.

we are way off topic here, this is for feed back on the new binfile, if you will start a new thread i will try to help you, and i see you are new here, it would be good to say hello in the new members welcome section.
