I must not have been clear, sorry. I have 3 receivers that were freezing up. Not the system as I could still navigate. But the programing being watched. After every possibility was exhausted on another thread I had started called " receiver screen freeze", and checking all equipment I have found that the firmwares seem to be culprit as all 3 receivers are based on the same ali chip-set. After upgrading the Manhattan firmware the freezing stopped. I upgraded the openbox s9 a couple times because the new firmwares brought other troubles that seem to be remedied now but still testing to see if it will freeze. I seriously doubt it will.
The Manhattan receiver rs-1933 has been replaced by sky-vision 3 times for different problems. When I got it back It was supposedly new and the remote never worked right. So to clear things up I did the firmware update to fix the screen freeze but the remote never worked correctly to begin with. Taking the advise of others of this forum, I did take it apart to see if the ir sensor was bent. It was not. I took the remote apart and even now have tested it using a camera and pressing buttons and the light works well. So the remote is not bad. I did try to use it with the plastic display cover off but there is no difference. I think the circuit board that contains the receiver sensor or the sensor itself is faulty. That is why I asked if there were parts available. As long as the openbox s9 update works out Ill be happy. I do want to replace the Manhattan with something good if its not salvageable. If being the case, I will give it away as is.
