Jynxbox Seems like a Very Strange Box !!!!

[ranger]

Received a New Jynxbox today and while I have used many other STB's , this one is simply strange ... When you install the usb it does not show what is on the usb to download as all other units do ?? I see no area to select switch ports like 1-4 , no LNB setting , no area to use a motor and no sat listing ......... How does this thing work ???? (yes, I have read the stickies , maybe I have a dud !! Help needed before returning ) TKs ............. My old unit died on Intersat AM5 97 W and that is where I wanted to start

[Nostradamus]

are you sure you have the Ultra and not the Android?

do you have a module installed in it at all?

if you really have an ultra I think I would be taking it back and make sure the guy you got it from is an authorized dealer

This thing came with a JB200 is shows version 2 with WiFi ant .... In Installation it only show DTV Scan ??? What is that ??

[sideswiper]

once you load the 239 bin, do a factory default and the sat list will show after that.

install the latest file. the factory bin only has DTV Scan, which is for OTA

When you connect the USB in the only port located in the rear and have a factory bin and a 239 on it just how can one tell which bin to down load when there is NO MENU ..........

just pressed start for USB download and this thing is now has a steady menu roll and not usable ... (No choice now Will send it back in the AM)

here's a solution to get the rolling screen to stop rolling.


I just wanted to report an issue with default settings of the factory file that may affect some people if they do not have a 1080p television set.

The default settings are 1080_25. I’m not familiar with this form of video grading, in North America we only have two grades of 1080 that I'm aware of (1080i and 1080p). If someone has a 720i 720p or even a 1080i TV you may to have to dumb down the resolution settings to accommodate your television set.

If this happens to be you, you will get a rolling screen and you will not be able see where to navigate through the menu.

Try connecting with the RCA cable first. If this does not work on your specific TV try another TV if that’s an option. If it’s not an option or you have no other options here are the directions so you can blindly navigate with your remote.

These directions will take you to 480i this should cover every television out there. You can experiment with higher resolutions after you have read that actual specifications of your television set.

To be safe allow one second before hitting the next button.

When the box boots up you will have access to the menu already: (out of the box there are no channels scanned so you are already at the main menu)

Reboot the box to ensure you are at the starting point

Hit the directional arrow down two times{down down} This will take you to the systems tab

Then hit Right

Down

Then hit ok two times OK OK to enter your resolution settings

Hit the directional up button 2 times for the lowest grade of 720p or 6 times for 480i

I recommend hitting the up button 6 times for 480i to guarantee a picture first

UP UP UP UP UP UP

OK

I have highlighted in bold the actual directions you can ignore the descriptions and just follow the bold and it should work.

Do not factory default or you will have to do it again.

Any third party file and you will be good to go.

Thanks Ban, However I just do not want this unit after seeing the Issues, like not one single statement or sheet of instruction ...

[ranger]

I understand Mr , I did read many high reviews but I now know better !!! Can this unit even be used with a motor ??? (Anyway it's not for me at this point and it's going somewhere)

[Mr Hanky]

It works with a motor from file 233 up.Dealers are pulling their hair out with returns on these boxes,they have a large fail rate and a large I bought a piece of crap and don't want it return rate.Many of the authorized dealers sell them with free shipping and will expect to be reimburse for their loses.
