Junxbox Premium HD Info/Pictures/"Review"

[blackjack]

Heya, I recently got a "Junxbox" Premium HD from AliExpress, and decided to post a little bit of info, since I've had multiple people in PM ask me about it.

The box included the receiver, remote, HDMI cable, normal A/V cables, 12v power adapter, and an IR remote extender. No manual is included, you're on your own, but you can figure it out :yes:

Physically, the build quality of the unit itself seems decent. It also includes a fan preinstalled, so you don't need to modify it to add one if you want it to stay cool. The unit is very slightly bigger than a Dreamlink receiver. The remote is kind of low quality, it's very lightweight, glossy plastic that I don't personally like, but it does get the job done.

Software-wise... First off, you don't need a custom file/bin in order to use IKS. It comes preloaded with the necessary software. It works fine with the new TP changes on BEV, locks to all the TPs with no issues. I don't really like the info screen. The UI is kind of ugly in some ways, but nice in others. Worse than Dreamlink IMO.

Other things to note:

- The included WiFi adapter is junk. It picks up barely 25% signal on my router 20ft away that everything else in the house is connected to, and it disconnects constantly. I'm almost tempted to believe that the antenna on it is just fake. I've had no issues just using a cable instead.

- I'm a bit of an electronics nerd, so I opened up the included power adapter to check the build quality. It looks surprisingly decent and well-made, good isolation between high and low voltage sides, probably won't kill you.

- The LNB input port: The "hole" is a bit "tight", and you may need to wiggle the connector or even force it a bit to get it to go in. It's also hard to get it back out again. It works fine, though, and I didn't damage it during several times reconnecting it.

- When opening/closing the EPG, it seems to either reconnect to the server or perhaps relock to the TP, because the picture consistently goes black for a few seconds. I really hate this, but it's not a big deal in the end.

- Picture quality is fine, at least as good as a Dreamlink. Ignore the photos for that, I'm tuned to an SD channel and watching on a TV that isn't all that great, not to mention using a mediocre camera.

- PVR functionality works good, you need a fast hard drive otherwise it will freeze a lot. It also has the ability to dedicate part of the HDD to storing a buffer recording for pausing and rewinding live TV - this is something I miss from BEV receivers that as far as I can tell isn't on the Dreamlinks. Not sure how standard this is.

- Edited/Added Jun 8 2024: The box is missing a few TPs on 91 from the factory and you have to re-add them. Check LyngSat list against your box's list to be sure, but I think it's 12370V/21500/8PSK, 12457H/21500/8PSK, 12282V/21500/8PSK, and 12457V/21500/QPSK. I think 2 or 3 of those have channels on them so they're not just useless.


All in all, I'd recommend getting one of these if it is what you need. It's better than I expected for the price. I am not sponsored by whoever makes these things :p

Pictures attached... Hope this helps.

Hey when you tune to channel 199 is that the same memory channel. Like if you enter 199 on the remote does it tune channel 199?

[blackjack]

if you enter 199 on the remote does it tune channel 199?

Yeah, it does it that way for me by default. I don't know if there's a setting to get it to renumber the channels with a 1 like on Dreamlink. I prefer it this way though.

[auggie]

When FTA Receivers first came out back in the day, they were originally setup for Dicknet, Bev wasn't even in the picture at that time So when Bev showed up for FTA they had to find a way to add the channel #'s in a way that the receiver wouldn't get confused with Dicknet channel #'s that's why the re-numbering was added on most Boxes etc.

[JimmyZ]

Received my Junxbox" Premium HD from AliExpress yesterday. It's definitely not a T5 but it does the job. Most of my channels are back. It's very easy to setup . The only complaint i have is the wireless adapter/dongle stopped working a few hours after i got it. Picture quality is just as good if not a little better than the T5. All in all for $84 i can't complain.

[lomchivok]

Does it have DISEqC 1.2 or USALS for dish motor control?

[blackjack]

Does it have DISEqC 1.2 or USALS for dish motor control?

Yes it does - it has both under the "Positioner Setting" menu in setup.

[fishmaster]

Hi blackjack.Does it come with the factory file or any files already installed with this receiver? Thanks. Fishmaster.

Hey,

Attached a photo of the software info. This is as it is out of the box. The software it came with supports IKS (NewCamD and CCCam.)

Hope this helps.

[blackjack]

the wireless adapter/dongle stopped working a few hours after i got it

Glad I am not the only one who was having issues with the WiFi dongle :lol:

[fishmaster]

Thanks blackjack. Did you have to load any files and if so- where from. Thanks.

[dishuser]

Thanks blackjack. Did you have to load any files and if so- where from. Thanks.

they already said they didn't

[blackjack]

Added some more info to the OP, specifically: The box is missing a few TPs on 91 from the factory and you have to re-add them. Check LyngSat list against your box's list to be sure, but I think it's 12370V/21500/8PSK, 12457H/21500/8PSK, 12282V/21500/8PSK, and 12457V/21500/QPSK. I think 2 or 3 of those have channels on them so they're not just useless.

[packrat]

Can you load newcamd with usb stick.also transponders that are missing do not show up in list for scanning. All transponders scan with QPSK not 8PSK Do not know How to change this to 8 psk?

[HenryWiser]

I have one of these units showing up tomorrow. I hope it works. I ordered one a while back (long before the issues we are having) and it had a dummy ethernet port and no wi-fi when I opened it up. I did take photos and did get a refund from the seller and didn't have to ship the unit back. Anyway here is my question:

Do I need to change info on transponder frequency on 1 - 19 and set it them to turbo8PSK before scanning or do I just scan and wait? Any help is appreciated.

Henry

[packrat]

I have received one it is simple to set. Up earthnet works newcamd in tools but scanned b** and only get part of the channels. Do not know how to change to 8 psk it loads qpsk?

[prime1]

You have to edit the transponder info and set to turbo. it will show 8psk on its own.

[packrat]

Do use the numbers on right side of lynsat info

[packrat]

Thanks For the info and the reply.where to enter turbo. Will this work just through hdmi hookup

[jets]

Do use the numbers on right side of lynsat info

Just go through each transponder on sat 91 and note the dead ones, or if they have no signal quality toggle it to turbo and see if it locks, it takes a few seconds to lock so give it time to lock, like in seconds.

[packrat]

I am confused as to where to find turbo

[dishuser]

I am confused as to where to find turbo

on the line where it shows qpsk press right arrow

[packrat]

Thanks dishuser. Much appreciated for the reply and info.

[packrat]

Dont know what I am doing wrong can scan the DV channels available and watch. But when I change transponder numbers and change to 8 psk I get. No signal I am using the unit hooked to tv with hdmi Is this proper?

[packrat]

I changed the transponders to 8psk and most locked to good signal some with qpsk locked with this qpsk only scanned got 504 channels scanned guide lists them but no video I have tv hooked to hdmi should I be running video and audeo cables

[auggie]

TP's 1-thru-19 need to be changed to "Turbo 8psk" symb-21500 Fec-3/4A

[packrat]

Do you have to change transponders as to lyng bev sat or just the turbo and 21500 or leave them as they show up.

[auggie]

Just bring up the TP List on the box/receiver and change 1-19 to what was posted in #26 then
Do a Sat scan for ALL TP's after changes made.

[packrat]

Thanks auggie,dishuser, blackjack for all your help everything good on this end

[auggie]

One thing I want to know on the Junxbox, does it have a True Theme search, because the Jynxbox V2 that I have doesn't ?

[packrat]

Under favourite groups it has movies ,sports drama,news,music,education,shopping and leisure.

[fishmaster]

Hello everyone. I just need a little bit of help with the setting up of the Junxbox please. I'm having trouble setting up the time date day ect.. First is it setting up on Eastern U.S. -5 or is it something else? Thanks for any help. Fishmaster. It's not like my other box.

Having a hard time finding a box to set up. Ali Express says not available. Thoughts?

[auggie]

Don't you have a SV8000HD you can use ? cause it is working at present.

[fishmaster]

Good evening everyone. I am trying to set-up my Junxbox and when I get to Network Local Setting should I have the DHCP to on or off. Then press Apply? Thanks for any help. Fishmaster. I'm trying to slowly get this receiver to work. It's appreciated.

DHCP=Dynamic Host Control Protocol, where the router/modem assigns a IP address to device that's hooked to the router/modem
Static=you give it a dedicated IP address. For ease of use set it to DHCP

[fishmaster]

Thanks auggie. I left it ON. Now when I go to Server Settings I see No#s 1- 8 listed. Should I have them set-up all the same then turn them on or off. Right now I have the I.P. address showing in all 8 lines. Not quite sure about this? Thoughts? Thanks.

[fishmaster]

Thanks auggie for your help. I'll try and figuire this out.

[auggie]

I will suggest you might want to read up in the Jynxbox section being that the Junxbox is a similar receiver etc.

[jets]

No you set the first one up and turn it on. The rest are off, the idea is you can use multiple servers... Least back in the day you could LOL.

[fishmaster]

Hi auggie. Yes- I was going to do that next. I had a hunch they were simular. I appreciate it my friend.

[fishmaster]

Thanks jets. I will give it a shot. Thanks for your help my friend.

[squirtNcider]

Finally getting to setting this thing up. When changing the TP's, I noticed that some on 91 get good S&Q without changing anything.
Do I have to have 'network channels' turned on when scanning?
Tried 82 but no channels would come on, they scanned but thats it.
My set up:
82 SW21 dish 2
91 SW21 dish 1

EDIT: In server settings, when I hit apply, keeps saying 'connection failed' Double checked everything I put in and all looks perfect. I have a 2nd screen beside me so I can check here and look at the junxbox as well.
Forgot, I also checked the Network Settings and IP addy and all other info shows up....

[squirtNcider]

Got it to connect using the wifi adapter. Am I doing something wrong with the ethernet connection?

Checked my router and it doesn't show up on 'wired connections' (only 2 connections) but when I put my T5 back on, it shows in 'wired connections' (shows 3 connections)

[fishmaster]

When you got it to connect using the wifi adapter- did you have your ethernet cat-5 cable hooked up to the back. Just curious cause I'm also not connecting to server. It says connection-failed. I did put the right info. into network settings also!

[squirtNcider]

Yeah...When I tried the wifi adapter, I never unplugged the cable.

[dishuser]

read first page
wifi adapter apparently sux

[squirtNcider]

But we both can't get the ethernet to work. Would rather hard wired. Is there something that needs to be done for the ethernet to work?

[dishuser]

was adapter plugged in when you tried ethernet?

[squirtNcider]

Nope....Only tried the adapter after the ethernet wasn't working. Maybe do a factory reset on it?

[dishuser]

Nope....Only tried the adapter after the ethernet wasn't working. Maybe do a factory reset on it?

it couldn't hurt
do it with ethernet plugged in

[squirtNcider]

Just an update....Im waiting for a coax repair kit as I broke the cable disconnecting my T5.

[squirtNcider]

Well, factory reset did nothing except make me change all the TP's again. Anyone have an idea of why it won't connect with ethernet? It has the flickering light where the cable plugs in which I figure to mean it's communicating.

[auggie]

Disconnect ALL Other devices running on router, and reboot router and try the Box/receiver ALL BY IT'S SELF WIRED
See if it will connect then, you may have a IP conflict, What Brand of Router/Modem are you using ?
Might want to try different Router etc.

[squirtNcider]

I've got a TP Link AC5400 gaming router. I did try rebooting with the ethernet connected but still the same. Was thinking about the settings but if the wifi works, all good for me. I also have an extra wifi adapter if the one that came with it craps out.
Trying a different router is not an option for me.

[auggie]

To get a clean IP interface or config, need to unplug "EVERYTHING" including Receiver and REBOOT Router
so it will start A-New, once that is done then plug the Junxbox back into router by itself nothing else hooked up (make sure Receiver is set to DHCP not Static) Then Hopefully the router will assign a New IP to the Receiver & it will work ?

Also recheck Network settings info (No mistakes) on the receiver, did your Donation expire ?

Can I manually input the ip addy? Has to be something Im doing. Mine doesn't expire until next July.

[dishuser]

Can I manually input the ip addy? Has to be something Im doing. Mine doesn't expire until next July.

you can by using static
login to your router to see what's available

[auggie]

Can I manually input the ip addy? Has to be something Im doing. Mine doesn't expire until next July.

Do you know how to log into your TP-Link router, If so log into it, click on advanced Tab, on left side of pane click on Network
Scroll or go down to DHCP SERVER & open it, on right side should show the Primary & Secondary DNS IP's, This is where you can
change or input a IP server you want to use, in Primary box field, input 208.67.222.123 This is Open DNS's server IP which is
like a Proxy or something close to a VPN you can use, instead of the one that is provided by who ever you are with (internet provider) You can also put that same 208.67.222.123 IP on the Receiver/Box as well, basically giving a Static IP or Manual IP

I have basically the same TP-Link router that you have so the workings of the Two routers are the same on how they operate.

[squirtNcider]

Thanks for the info Auggie. Ill definitely try that when I need to hook it back up again. My T5 is still working on 82, so when that sat finally expires, Ill try the static IP route.

[lomchivok]

When you ordered your Junxbox from AliExpress, were there any issues at customs with import or duty costs you needed to address?

[squirtNcider]

None....Im in SW Ontario and had no other duties or taxes after checkout.

[dishuser]

When you ordered your Junxbox from AliExpress, were there any issues at customs with import or duty costs you needed to address?

it doesn't really matter
they don't have any

[squirtNcider]

Wonder if that means out of stock or is it that they will no longer sell it?

[fishmaster]

Time will tell!

[marcel.crash]

i got two of these jynxbox premier in the mail , set them up and nether of them would connect to the server by the Ethernet port they would only connect with the Wi-Fi adaptor provided with the box .
so i turned DHCP off left all line the same as they were except i set DNS Alternate to 008.008.004.004 hit apply
now it connect to the server .
repeated the same to the second box and now both boxs connect to the server by ethernet port with no WI-FI adaptor

PS i then turned the DHCP back to on and they still work

[lomchivok]

it doesn't really matter
they don't have any

Ummm, yes they do have them. Ordered one July 31st from Dersheng. Ali says it's already shipped and on the way. When I ordered, the ad said the seller has sold 28 and has 668 available. Or, well...we'll see whats in the package when it arrives

Yes, tonyzhesell is the person I got the email from who provided the aliexpress link where I ordered the Junxbox. Tracking says it's cleared customs and has left china on it's way here.

[lomchivok]

Well, it came yesterday. Pretty well packaged. Setup was easy and it's working. One thing I don't like is the functionality of the remote but I do have a Jynxbox V3 that the Ethernet port stopped working and tried the Jynxbox remote on the Junxbox and it works great. More functionality as in the previous channel recall actually works now and navigation of the remote is much easier. Satisfied so far.

[RonTheRipper]

I am unable to get this box to connect via ethernet port. Ive unplugged modem, router and box but it's still not showing the proper ip address. With wifi stick there are no issues connecting but when I unplug the wifi stick and reboot my network, it still shows the wifi ip. Frustrating. Maybe a bad ethernet port?

[squirtNcider]

Read post #69. I have same issue with the ethernet but haven't tried that suggestion yet as my T5 still works on 82 but hopefully it does work.

I had that issue too. I had a T5 that I copied the IP info from, changed the junxbox from DHCP to static IP and put that info into the Junxbox. After that no connection issues.

[fishmaster]

Is there a decimal-point or period on the remote? I could not fine it.

[RonTheRipper]

Ya I tried that and it did not work

Thankyou. But what happens when you use the box at another location? I would have to carry the T5 with me? Was going to ship a programmed box to my brother but I'm thinking this just won't work.

[packrat]

I took mine to the cottage good signal and quality but would not hook up to a different internet

[packrat]

My junxbox is acting strange today. When I turned it on no signal went ito satelite settings and nimiq 1 says (30/62) 91.0w
Transponder says (22/29) no signal. Scanned it brought up all the guide but no picture. Went to guide and it just showed stations but no guide .I could go up down channels some come in on nimiq1 some on nimiq4 I have a single lnb..
Turned it back into satelite config on nimiq1 and have full signa, now with transponderlisting (9/29) 12355h 21500 ..
Dont know if Bev is changing things.

[packrat]

Found out bev is messing with sats everything to return

[The Noof]

I got 1 from Tony as well, for future use.They are what you pay for & are not even close to the Dreamlinks/Sonicviews we got here with.The ethernet port is DOA on my unit (no status lights).The wireless works ok so far, but the unit is directly under my wireless router, so it should.
Setup is ok.When the time comes I will factory reset it & set it up for just the 91 sat.Not watching it for now anyways.
The picture quality is fair at best.HD is far from that of the Dreamlinks, & the HDMI has no audio output on this unit.I have to use RCA cables, but that will be fine for the living room, but not the home theater.It is what it is folks.
Anyone thinking ahead can get spare JB200 models at Amazon as we speak.I ordered 2 yesterday & they will be here middle of next week.
Pray that the software becomes open source for the Dreamlinks...lol.

The Dreamlinks are S.O.L. for New Firmware/Software Updates as far as I'm concerned, No one willing to take it on
Now that most have moved to IPTV etc.

junxbox when scanning cant find CNN and Detour as well as playboy and adult channels. why?

[auggie]

Welcome to Bev & their changes that are on-going, I don't have a Junxbox so can't help you much on that
Other than the Junxbox is not a Jynxbox so not the same.

[dishuser]

the junxbox is a jynxbox clone so apparently the section was already created

[dishuser]

yes but not apparentonly for you :laughat:

[icsaiddblindman]

anyone have a factory junxbox bin backed up , mine is in er01 after loading a bin , need a loader and bin.

[chuck7]

How do you save Junxbox info onto a flash drive? I can save user info ...but I want to save the firmware info. How is that done? there is no blue button at bottom of firmware screen like there is on user database...(my usb to rs232 adapter will not work with these clone boxes as far as I have tried)

[andrew867]

I've got one of these boxes and the Ethernet/LAN MAC address is all zeros causing DHCP to fail, has anyone else see this problem with the Amazon purchased units?

did you try static?

[andrew867]

did you try static?

Will connect to the internet on some routers but not others, Microtik can be tricked into working. It isn't a problem of static vs DHCP, as no network device should have a hardware MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. The box will also get blocked by IKS providers if left on when not in use, while others don't support it fully as it sends 'bad data' when it is in standby on Ethernet.

The box will also get blocked by IKS providers if left on when not in use, while others don't support it fully as it sends 'bad data' when it is in standby on Ethernet.


if anyone else sees this. this is correct. junxbox must not have coded MAC addresses into their ethernet adapters, so they all get the 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC. Most routers don't like this and may not pass data to it, especially if you have a switch in your network.


On a side node, Got 2 of the junxbox's

Im connected to 91. and using the BEV channel list that is on the file section
https://www.satfix.to/showthread.php?233714-B3V-channel-list-not-edited


But i am not able to get any EPG at all. nothing. I see in this thread people on the exact same version were able to get EPG..

could it be because of the bev channel list i uploaded?

I reset everything to factory, channels come in (with the channel list i uploaded) but no EPG.


Might someone be able to backup their 91 channel list and upload so i could try? Or does anyone have any ideas why i might not get EPG?

Thanks

Welcome to the Clone Boxes etc. and their "ISSUES".........lol

might anyone happen to have a channel list of 91 from a junxbox they could share? The original post who did the review clearly had EPG working which appears to be 91.

Yeah, i know it is what is. but it seems some people had it working. and at this point there arent many options. I dont live in an area with high speed internet. iptv is certainly not an option

what download speed do you have?

what download speed do you have?



Rural DSL, 1.5 up .5 down Because i am so far from the point of presence. Internet is flaky and will go even slower when it rains. There is water in the burial cable, ISP wont fix it either.

Starlink works good everywhere. Would give you options.

Yeah i tested it, it did not work reliably due to tree coverage. i need a 70ft tower to get to an acceptable level with the tree line.

I was able to get the EPG to work, it seems the file i uploaded with the channel list is what causes the issues with the EPG not loading.

I manually modified my own TP's in the junxbox. and some TP's simply will always skip when doing either, auto scan, blind scan or a individual TP scan.

When i used the channel list in the file section for the jynxbox, the channels work on all the TP's but again no epg when i use that backup.

So if i want to build my own. i have done 30-50 scans, and i simply cannot get some TP's to scan.

Does anyone have a junxbox channel list for 91 they could share?
