Hi all,

I'm just wondering what the best patch is these days, I'm after good 8281 menu, epg and timer

I'm currently on the latest 762 and its poor, hd channels audio but no video

I did try a patch in the 750's and that just kept crashing the box loads

Am I better off going way back to 744 or something, I'm not bothered about foreign sats as my tm is just a holiday box these days.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
From what you say it sounds more like your box may have hardware issues. 6900's are nodding on a bit now, pop the lid off & see if there are any swollen-looking capacitors in the power supply.
 
it did have usb problem not being recognised about 6 months ago but replaced the bulging caps so shouldn't be that!
 
7.62 is the latest and worked fine on my 6800 Super.Still check the capacitors because others might be going.Do you think you may have an issue with the provider or internet link?Also you can't get HD channels on 28.2E with 8281 anymore.
 
The freeview HD channels worked fine at first but lost video one by one, the 762 patch does seem far better for epg than the 750's patch, was just wondering which is the best?

At the minute, I'm just thinking of deleting the freeview hd channels as everything else seems to work.
 
Sorry,I don't get Freeview so cannot help with which patch is best.As Trevortron says it sounds like a box problem.You could try a master reset and load a new channel list(reset will delete current channel list).I take it you have a good signal.
 
There may be other sick cap's by now, plus they don't always bulge when dying. Did you use good quality replacements or were the just robbed out of something else? They really need to be low ESR types, rated at 105°C.
 
I did put new 105C caps in it, I'm just going delete all the remaining hd channels and go full sd as everything else seems to be ok.

Cheers
 
right guys, I'm a few months on from the last post, deleted the iffy hd channels and all is well except the epg, load epg for a minute and its ok, leave it for 2 and the box just shuts down, sometimes on the epg channel after 15 seconds it reboots itself, is there any new updates out since 7.62 as I've never had the epg so temptremental?

Cheers

Just as a flavour, this was my original sat box to the hobby at a cost of about £300 at the time (wife was not impressed) and has served me well, these days I run a Vu solo2 and an Ultimo as my main boxes and this unfortunately is now my holiday box, but I would love it to live longer!
