sorry but I'm new to this and don't know how to post a new thread. can someone enlighten me please. The reason I want to post is that I have a SpiderBox 9000 HD and it keeps glitching so Im looking for a bit of advice how to solve the problem

[echelon]

its an old box now, so could have psu issues or motherboard issues

is it ok on fta channels, or does it still glitch on those ? (try bbc and itv channels)

also , press the info button twice on the affected channels and check the signal and quality bars are up high , preferably about 80% to 95% or so

[dewrox]

just checked the FTA channels and they are ok. The signals are in there 80's. sometimes the box reboots itself aswell

i adjusted the sat and now have 98% but still glitching

If the glitching is only on scrambled channels, and not Free To Air channels, then the problem is probably nothing to do with the Spiderbox, or signal quality.
The re-booting problem could be due to a number of things, including over heating, a faulty channel list, a faulty connection, software, or even hardware.
How often does the receiver re-boot?
There is a recovery tool, for the Spiderbox, but if it only re-boots occasionally I would first check it isn't over heating, or try re-flashing the receiver, with the last patch.

any idea where i get the latest patch and how to reflash....

[cosworth4x4]

before a reflash , maybe the share at fault , ecm times ?

glitch on all channels , have you tried non uk ones that are encrypted ?

the latest spiderbox firmware patches are in the spiderbox firmware section here on pimps, but they are a few years old like your box ;)

the spiderbox tutorials are in the spiderbox tutorial forum here on pimps

if the box is rebooting, its a common fault and likely to be component failure, in which case you should buy a new box

I have known one or two 9000 boxes and at least three 7000 boxes that suffered similar issues , probably dry caps in the psu
