If anyone else has anything further to add regarding the reason WebTV is a unstable on the V8S, I would love to hear your thoughts.īy the way, I don't seem to be able to access from my connection using a pc and web browser.There is 2 ways to input the line, through usb or through remote control As a 'Free To Air' digital satellite receiver, they are still a good cheap option and I use mine everyday with a steerable dish. Perhaps there is no incentive for anyone to cure this with a firmware update? Has anyone actually pinpointed the fault or issue that leads to this random crashing?Įither way, I am still happy with the Openbox V8S boxes I have. It would be nice to know why they don't handle WebTV very well and if the problem could be cured.
I can't accept that cheap would mean it won't work properly, as the problem must be caused by some hardware or software issue.
Is it a hardware issue, or a software issue, is it heat related, or maybe just bad WebTV app? I have other devices here that cost less than the openbox v8s and they handle IPTV without issue, so surely its not cost related. It would be interesting to know what causes the crashing of WebTV. I accept that the boxes are cheap and all in all, my two boxes have given me good service, as they have been switched on 24/7 for well over two years and never seem to crash when being used as a FTA receiver for digital satellite reception. I do find it strange that this WebTV crashing can't be fixed. I suspected that I might have the latest firmware. Thanks a lot to both Bigdrinks and linesman66, It just locks up and requires a reboot by power cycling, that is the only way to get out of the lock up. The only reason I was looking at updates was because when I use WebTV, it sometimes crashes randomly when selecting a different stream. Is there any better version of the firmware that I could use, and can I use clone firmware? Is clone firmware better?, more features etc? Where is the best place to get the very latest version that is available, and is there any benefit to updating this box any further? Updating again, of if these firmware versions will work on my box at all.Īll the checks I have done suggest this OPENBOX V8S is a genuine one, I find it quite strange that there is no log of changes,Īnd I'm wondering if I should be downloading the latest of these and Infact none of this firmware seems to come with any details of what is new and I have now just been into the 'UPGRADE BY NETWORK' menu on the boxĪnd have been offered the following firmware update:ĭoes anyone know if this is newer or better than what I already have, as thereĭoesn't appear to be any version number or date associated with the file and
This UPDATE has added the Network App: XMLTV EPG, or at least I So today I have downloaded and updated the box with firmware version Into updating the firmware because I knew there had been updates. I have been running a genuine OPENBOX V8S with firmware versionģ511HD_07_12_2014_0923 for a few years now, but decided I would look
