Methinks your box may need the software for Openbox x810 and not x820.
Have you tried those files ?.

:bowing-036: thank you
though where can i get hold of any of the x810 files as i can only see the 1's 4 the 820

Nigel, I have the 810 files on another forum, I'm krap at pc,s so I'll try and add them for you.
Meanwhile "drahcirk" helped me big style, he could post the file quicker than me. The man with the best knowledge is andrew007, but he doesn't like PM's.
OR, if you pm me I'll give you a lead to the other forum.

OR this Method Quick Guide:
Step 1 : Switch off the Openbox at the mains and connect it to your PC using a "null modem" cable.
Step 2 : Run the Loader programme and set the serial port to whichever serial port you use.
Step 4 : Now click the "File Tab" and load the Openbox update you downloaded.
Step 5 : Now click the "Update" tab and switch on the mains supply to the receiver.
You will now see 3 horizontal bars travelling from left to right, this will continue for a couple of minutes after which you will see "n" again moving left to right followed by "0" and lastly "8" DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS UNTILL YOU SEE "8" OK the update is over switch off the receiver, remove the cable and switch on the receiver again.
The main thing is once started do not interfere with the process YOU MUST WAIT FOR "8" to appear only then is the update over.
Follow these instructions and you won't go wrong, make sure that you use the correct file for your receiver.

Check this out:..Old x810 Version with Loader.

Is this the PVR Model..?

You will have to Try out the different Loaders to see which one Connects.
Obviously I DO NOT have this Box so I CANNOT check this for you.OK


I have asked if I can get an Alternative X810 Version with Digi AU Fix for you.

The best way to Check IF IT HAS been Converted is Go into Menu it should then say Openbox on the top.
Or Check Firmware Go to System Settings and then System Info.

Try the above or wait to see if I get an answer for your x810 Version Fix...OK

Cheers;)
