Unblocktech UBox Gen 2 HDMI Output Problem
slee
Just Watchin`
Hello all,
After I read padman's review, I bought my mom a UB Box Gen 2 from ebay.ca on Tuesday for C$166 to replace/backup the dying TVPAD 3 and I just received it today. It is just the Gen 2 version (S800), not the Gen 2 plus.
After I unboxed it and hook up the HDMI cable to my Toshiba 32C120U (720p) TV, there is no video signal found. The TVPAD 3 was working fine. Then I used the AV analog cable to connect to the TV, it worked but I need to change the default setting from PAL to NTSC.
I wonder if there is something wrong in my received UB Box's HDMI output port? Or if there is a setting somewhere to select the default output to the HDMI? Or my 720p TV is too old (about 3 years old) that cannot support the high resolution of the UB Box's HDMI output? Is there a way I can set the HDMI output resolution to match my older TV?
I searched on the net and can't find much support or information on the UB Box.....Please help if you have an idea. Many thanks and much appreciated.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All.

I received mine yesterday and it connects to my HDMI output automatically.
However if you try connecting with analog signal, under settings -> display, there seems to be option where you can tweak around.
This is where I change my resolution to 4K/30hz. It has other output resolution as well.
The other reason which I could think of is that the HDMI is not supported by the TV HDMI chipset.
This happens to me today where my old Panasonic cannot pick up HDMI signal and I need to use a HDMI switcher to do so.
It is working now.

My TV is new smart TV, no problems with the Tvpad2 or 3.
Every time I use the Tvpad remote to turn it on, no signals.
I found this:
1 pull the power cable from the back of the box and put in back, the TV has the signal input again, or
2 Buy a remote control power adaptor, use this to turn it on or off, solve the problems, it cost me around 7.50 in ebay.
Just in case you want to try, here is the link

However, there is no HDMI signal if I connect directly to this panasonic tv.
Hence, I am using a HDMI switcher.
Please note that if I connect the TVPAD3 directly to my new TV, the signal can be detected.

I have to use my MiniX 8H plus instead when I'm watching 4K movie....
I can see distortion if I cannot directly to my receiver with do not have 4k pass thru.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Can you check under display.
Mine does gave me various options from 720p to 3860p.
Thanks.
In the same boat. Just received 2 UB boxes and was testing only the first one and it worked fine. Went to setup the second box and immediately had HDMI problem. Connected second box with AV cable to try to switch resolution or to NTSC and did not find those options. Reconnected HDMI and it worked for some reason. Went to try to update and install UBTV app and IPTV apps but could not find it in the store. Then the whole thing just went dark. Tried connecting on different monitors and it does not work. First box works find when plugging in. Just emailed the ebay seller to see what can be done. Did click the back reset button on the box but not sure if it did anything or if i wiped out anything else.
