8888 problem

[Jerry2020]

Can someone explain simply what causes the box to sometimes display 8888 and freeze on startup, and how to fix that?

No, is this a tested solution? I don't want to lose all settings.

I think 8888 this software failure, you need to do a reset to factory settings and download again the right software

Maybe you want to give some more information about what kind of reciver you do have. Try backup your settings before you do factory reset or update your firmware. But really it will be helpful if you mention your box type.

Generally factory reset is the first solution when you have software error ( save your settings before). After reset you should also unplug power for at list 10 seconds to reset volatile memory.

Sometimes it is unstable electrical power(we sometimes happens) and satellite tuner can show the error, then you just need to restart the receiver

I have IPBox 200, but I've heard that it happens with many types of boxes.

Re: 8888 problem

Sounds like a software or hardware failure.
I had the same on a display from a newly bought receiver. In this case it was a hardware failure (software reset didn't help) and I changed the receiver at the dealer. With the next receiver the problem had gone.

hi Jerry2020

Search on ****** on 'ipbox 200 manual' and on the first page you'll find a 'Unofficial guide for beginners' in english, download it, it's really interesting and I'm sure this will help you (also about saving settings).

This does not need a program, you just save the settings folder VAR on the computer, connection through LAN

Just to be sure, is this tested and guaranteed?
At least aren't there file permissions that should be set ...?

hi Jerry2020
