Yes, as a metter of fact I did receide the IR chip in the receiver and now my S9 openbox came on. I hooked up to a neighbour's old tv and came with these unexpected menu screen. The file that I had flased the set was one given to me as a bin file with 4096 bytes and nothing worked except the front pannel keys, but only on some of the mmenu items. Everything else was dimmed and could not be accesed. See pictures of screen included here.
With lots of frustation I decided to "extract" the bin file from a working S9 openbox received that I have been borrowing from a neighbor. I did that and labeled: RichardS9.bin and then flushed into my S9 openbox receiver and VOILA !!!!!! It came on in color with my own tv ising tge HDMI cable. All channels and set up exactly as in the borrowed S9. Working perfect also with the remote control even that sometimes I need to press several times tge remote key to accept tge input.
If someone need the correct file for the S9 openbox I will be glad to email it, just send me a pm and will do.
THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR TTIME, YOUR INPUT AND SUGGESTIONS. Now I know a bit more about firmware updates.
MY SET IS BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!
And last but not least, yes, every time i flushed my unit with the bin FILES provided by different members the TV System was by default on PAL. EXCEPT when I flushed with the bin fike from my neighbor that it came in NTSC at 1080i_30p. The TV set (old one) borrowed also from another friend around herr did pick up the screen and if the menu allowed it I should have been able to change to NTSC.
