    Default possible glimmer of hope for KBox HD

    I have been able to load Ilink 9600 files to the KBox HD using the Freesat to Ilink9600 conversion files and a null cable. The KBox HD menu now looks like the Ilinks. The problem I am having now is the receiver will not pick up an ip address. Anyone out there have one of these KBox HD receivers to play with?

    I have one of these receivers in storage, I'll dig it out over the weekend.
    Would be nice to breath some life into it

    The more people that try to get these these receivers working the more likely someone will find the fix. They are nice boxes. I have tried transferring data from a working ILink 9600 to the KBox, the transfer completes but still won't grab an ip address.

    I agree, the picture is really nice. Hope somebody figures out a way to bring it back to life.

    Before ET site went away, I helped a guy looking at Freesat to Ilink convert issue--would the info developed for that help you guys? It was not much info as the compression used in Freesat/Ilink/Kbox/Topsat files for HD boxes all seem the same and I did not recognize the compression scheme. Still learned a little about the header info and that there does seem to be a common theme going on between the boxes. My best guess was that to get into the code someone would have to pull the flash chip and get the boot code out to get the compression code.

    what would help is some information on the Network Protocol that the receivers use. Is it coded into each file or is written to a different chip. Does it get re-written each time a file is loaded.

    Finally found my K2HD in the storage locker so I'll be good to help play/test with this conversion soon.
    Any progress with the network issue?

    no progress. Still have 2 KBox HD receivers that will convert over but nothing I have tried makes them grab an IP address.

    have you tried turning off DHCP in receiver menu, specify a static IP / gateway /mask / dns server
    ... AND then ...
    hook it up to your pc's network port, an on the PC run a network analyzer prog (ie: ethereal) to capture everything on the network card... and see what kind of network packets this box is trying to send out if anything

    Also if it does IKS (or if it's supposed to..) via normal newcamd put it in the stream on a channel and see what comes out on the network if anything.

    Tried putting in the info manually, locks the receiver up. Tried network Analyzer Wireshark to see if it called out to a certain IP like NFusion does in case NO1 could be used, it didn't seem to do anything. Is it worth trying Ethereal instead of Wireshark?
