it sounds like maybe you will need to recover the box with the rs232 port. That happened to me once.

[Gary Bidwell]

I tried that and still get same thing, any suggestion.

Yes, sounds familiar. It happened to my S9 also. Had to use the RS232 port and my laptop to recover the unit. Don't give up if the first recovery doesn't work. I had to do it about ten times before the receiver came back to life.

got any older style tv stil around ? use Av conntection so you can see what you did is use a firmware that is booted in 1080 50 and has no channels list thats why when your hitting v format its not doing anything....


when you use the 232 from you computer did you keep try to put back the firmware you had been using?

that is a way go back to computer if your flash stick has your hds2 dump on it use that to write back with the 232

or if you have another firmware that you know has channel list in it you could use that tow rite back then when your computer is done go to tv

now after it boots if still no picture you can hit v format button each time till it scrolls to 1080 i 60 and wal you will see somthing


there is another way to recover out of pal with your remote that does work its letting the box re boot again from scratch then you have to hit the right button on your remote and then it gets you out into 1080 60 i read this a while ago i did it it works just have to make sure your close to box and hit the right buttons

This is for the guys that use HDMI or component HD outputs and accidentally get stuck in a non-supported mode like 50Hz PAL modes. Full credit goes to Ed B. for this, I did not write it. Thanks Ed!
