All updated in the Airbox/Openbox/Skybox Wiki - see link below

* To get a hd signal on your tv you will need to connect via a HDMI cable, scart connection cannot display HD signals. If connecting by scart you will need
to press the V-Format key repeatedly until you find a resolution that works best with your tv/video. Each press of the V-Format key on the remote
changes the output resolution.

* Looking for the satellite list so you can jump to another satellite while watching TV? The “zoom” button on the remote control brings up the list.

* Pause and timeshift doesn’t work? Be sure you have a HDD plugged in then enable the feature with your remote like this: MENU > DVR CONFIGURATION > switch timeshift to ON.

* TV resolution looks low? Press the “V.FORMAT” button on the remote to change resolution. Your OpenBox S9 from OpenBoxS9.us ships in 480i mode for those who use it with old analog TV’s. If you are using it on an old TV, DO NOT CHANGE THE RESOLUTION FROM 480i

* Improve your picture even more (HDTV’s only) MENU > TV SYSTEM > switch video out to YUV. OpenBoxS9.us ships the box set for RGB for older TV’s. You can also set video resolution on this screen. Set to match your native HDTV resolution.

* “Moving Dish” message getting annoying? If you selected a satellite to move to while watching TV you’ll notice the Moving Dish message stays up until it arrives. You can push the EXIT button and select another channel from your list. The OpenBox S9 will continue to move the motor to your selected satellite.

* The OpenBox won’t timeshift or record HD but does SD fine. This is disabled automatically if you have a very small flash drive or HDD.HD H264 recording takes about 200Mb per minute vs 20Mb a minute for SD. Upgrade to a bigger HDD for HD recording.
