Can you test different audio type? Recall rrob got one of this boxes and did have problems with AC3 dolby or AAC audio formats

I will see what I can do, the specs on the Ebay sellers listing indicates it can do AAC Audio, but no mention of AC3. I won't be home until Friday to start opening up the boxes and hope I didn't get a DOA. Lol! :-)

Good thinking! I should do that. I will post a new thread regarding my new No Name Box. I did pop the hood on it late last night and the board had April 2015 with a new version number. I couldn't verify what the CPU or Tuner was, so will have to take the sellers word, as what he had on his listing. I will post pics in the new thread.

Ok Good. Let us know if you succeed on making a backup of the firmware so we can add it to our files section, Thanks

Ac3 audio was not working on my unit, hopefully more recent fw had this added.

Bad news I'm afraid. I used another receiver to turn the dish to 99W C-Band, while I hooked up my 2015 No Name China Box through the Loop Out; there's NO audio on AC3 (Dolby D) channels with this newer receiver. Even with the latest FW installed. I couldn't find any AAC audio channels to test, but it's probably the same thing. I don't know if or when I will get any more F/W updates from the seller.

AAC works on the ali3510 predecessor. Check the 3980H 30000 transponder on 97W cband. It has AAC and supposedly 16apsk.
 
It will be great if they can come up with a fix for the AC3 issue. This is a fine cheap box which really does the job!! I will say to keep sending back request to the seller to see if they do it... someday!!

I did send 2 or 3 messages back to the Ebay seller for any software fixes or updates in the last few months, but no reply at all. I'm beginning to wonder if they already stopped supporting the little receiver and moved on to something else. Either that, I have been hearing many news reports that many multiple Chinese factories have closed down or slowed production due to the unhealthy air quality and the serious downturn of their economy; so that's a possible reason why I haven't heard anything. I really don't know otherwise. It is a pretty nice little box, if only the USALS motor controls could be fixed too. [emoji2]

China takes a long vacation every year around this time.

The AC3 audio may not be licensed. This would explain why it is not available.

There is not much of a way to support these boxes because the retail price is not high enough to support improvements.
