OPENBOX S10 is here

[adeobolo]

S10 Pic is here and it is available on ebay for ?79.99

[the man]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[trauma]

I've read the spec on the S10, but it do not state the channel storage capacity, which is a sign that it is pretty low.
So if it's still only 5,000, like it is on the S9, I don't see what benefit it will offer me in getting one.

So can someone confirm what the exact channel storage capacity of the S10 is.

[sweto]

only advantage

can use as a server.
(mention on great view web site)

That holds no interest too me, all I would like to see is at least 10,000 channels.

[abr]

[neolxs]

Could you PM me the link aswell please?

[southpaw]

I have a few of these , nice looking box , prettier menus than s 9 , got one on ebay if anybody looking for one drop me a pm and I mail you my link

[lombard]

hi, whats the epg like on these, and can you get channels in order like dreambox thanks

[hooley]

hi, whats the epg like on these, and can you get channels in order like dreambox thanks
It essentially the same box, just a bit slimmer and the menu is a bit nicer as has been mentioned

[southpaw]

hi, whats the epg like on these, and can you get channels in order like dreambox thanks


yeh , pretty much "now+next" and no specific channel order , it can take channel lists from s9 , so same kinda order

btw , its a lot smaller that s9 , more size like to a dm800

[southpaw]

few more pics of menu`s

[abr]

are there any known problems with these boxes
faulty tuners, glitching etc as on the dm800
is the picture quality as good or better than dreambox :laugh:

[trauma]

Don't anyone know what the channel storage capacity is on this version, it seems a little strange why it is not stated, maybe because it's still limited to a mere 5,000 channels.

Which would make upgrading from an S9 to an S10 rather pointless, this will be especially true if you intend to run it on a motorized setup.

to be honest they pretty much same price , so upgrading is more or less free if you were planning on buying another openbox. i would guess like most manufacturers support will be for latest models , so i can see the s10 getting reboot issue fixed before s9.
i have had a look and no info on channel capacity , so couldnt really advice if its greater than the s9 .

known problems are reboot issues on sky sport4 (just delete the problem channels) and some lip-sync issues (although i aint noticed these as much on the new s10 compared with s9 ) flick channel and it syncs back in

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[southpaw]

southpaw HAVE YOU TESTED THE CLOCK? when the box is in standby?
no display lit when box is in standby mate

[the man]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lombard]

interface dont look to great, and the epg :(, guess its cheap and can view HD, but dreambox 800 pro seems much better different league , like epg and interface

[southpaw]

thanks mate , on the box it came in theres also a lite next to the numbers , my ones not working also

yeh , the one next to the 2243 on display ?
why , do you really need /miss that light ? lol

[southpaw]

interface dont look to great, and the epg :(, guess its cheap and can view HD, but dreambox 800 pro seems much better different league , like epg and interface

agreed mate , but there is a market for this box , not everybody likes to use there boxes to the full potential , all the ex cable viewers want to just watch tv on the cheap

btw , i thought the UI looks much nicer than s9 !

[trauma]

It sounds as though you have an S10, so why can't you let us know what the channel storage capacity is ?.

[southpaw]

mate , if you can tell me how to find out , i will certainly tell you

[the man]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[trauma]

mate , if you can tell me how to find out , i will certainly tell you

A simple way would be to do a multi sat scan, if the menu is simular to the S9 then just goto Menu -> Installation -> Multiple Satellite Scan select all the satellite between 42e and 30w, and see how many channels it stores before giving the Full message.

sorry , cant do the simple way , my motorised dish has lost the arc last winter

[mark8393]

just looked on alibaba, stores upto 5000 channels, so the same

[binary]

yes, i seen some of the speek on the S10 and if i remember it is 5000 the same as the S9, unless you like pretty and you've got a S9 keep your money in your pocket or take the wife out for a change

I could not agree more with you, how naieve do they belive us users are, offering a multisat receiver that's limited by a mere 5000 channel capacity, what a shame that they missed another oppertunity to get it sorted.

[the man]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[southpaw]

yeh dead right the man, i have motorised but this unit was not purchased for use with it, 5000 aint that bad , if you got a dish with couple of offset lnb`s it`s perfectly adequate .

if you spent good money on a decent dish setup , then openbox is probably low down on your choice of stb,
its a BUDGET receiver , and as such has budget audience in mind

[southpaw]

my borders are all blue , your are greenish? or thats just the camra?

yeh , i think that one`s down to my photography skills mate

btw , do you know what the connection on back is , it`s a black jack type connection with "12v 50mA"
I presume its a digital coaxial connection, for connecting surround sound to an amp ?, as i dont see any other type of audio out connection on the unit, any ideas ?

Jesus you have hit nail on head there, its budget and it has limited features. Some people dont get that. I have mine in the kitchen with just 28.2 and 19.2 and its perfect. I also have a vu duo with motor and a dm800 they are for main tv and bedroom.

There's no means of getting digital audio out other than HDMI now

[trauma]

get the orton has digital audio out
?62 , it looks way better build anyway and has a clock

It may look good, and have a clock, but for me I would be little more interested in it's performance.
For example do it support a sensative tuner, do it have a hardware blind scan option, how many channels can it store, is it running stable, do it support CCcam etc etc

[the man]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[trauma]

buy one and let us know mate

I was under the impression you may have had one, as I thought you were recommending it over the S10.

Do you have any idea what the support is like for the 'Orton', and do you happen to know what Orton model it is.

I bought a dm800 and a spare openbox remote from there. Sound lad and prompt delivery.

[Dub12Dave]

Have just finished setting up the S10 and first impressions are, what a great little box, stunning HD picture quality and very very easy to setup.
In my opinion this box is well built does not look like a box that costs under ?70 delivered to Ireland.
I will play about with it for a while and post some more about it soon.

[southpaw]

Let us know dave what you think of lip-sync issues , compared to s9 , i think its slightly improved although not perfect

[Dub12Dave]

So have been messing with the box for a while now and I am still very impressed with it. When I got the box there was pre loaded software installed and all you have to do is scan whatever sat you want, takes about as long as the S9, then you enter your Kalvin Cline in exactly the same way as the S9.
Menus are only slightly different on the S10, they run across the top of the screen and not down the side, but they are basically the same.
Picture quality is excellent on both SD and HD channels, It has rebooting issues the same as the S9 I found these to be sky news SD and Sky Sports 4 HD only, again these can be deleted so not much of a problem.
The one and only let down is the EPG now and next only, I was hoping that this would be fixed on the new S10 but not as yet.
The box is slightly bigger than my Inetbox 300s but compared to other boxes it is tiny and it has the cutest front panel I have ever seen, lots of tiny buttons in such a small space, the PVR works good no problems there, lastly I think the remote is brilliant, really well put together and solid and fits well in the hand I'm think it's the new v4.
Also I have not noticed any lip sync issues at all in 3 days viewing.
So in my opinion for ?70 delivered to Ireland from China it has to be the best bargain any of us can hope for in a box.

Thanks for that Dub12Dave

I have one coming from China aswell.

Although they say there is a bit of a delay in the shipping & they have offered me a FREE Wifi bridge to compensate for my waiting.

Hopefully they will keep their word.

I have had a few S9's & they are pretty good for the money so i expect the S10 to be very good aswell.

[Dub12Dave]

I dont think the S10 will let you down rigsby71, a free wifi bridge nice offer from there part.

[searius]

Guys how are the channels with cccam are working with this receiver?
Thanks!

Guys you get the box from the usual places in China, I am not going to post a direct link to the site as I do not want any comeback if the box you buy turns out to be a clone. :tomato: There are loads of suppliers on Aliexpress.

i have one on ebay at the moment , and a few more due sat/mon
if anybody looking for one , pm me ,

[rigsby71]

Well i got mine yesterday & it is tiny.

It came with 20th May 2011 software on.

I think the HD pic quality is not quite as good as the S9
but it's still not bad, maybe need to keep adjusting the picture display settings.

Put a line straight in & worked within a few seconds.

Still has re-boot loop issues on certain S*y channels, so again, just do as for the S9 & delete them out.

Overall, not a bad box.

Mine came with a free wi-fi bridge too.

All for ?63 delivered from Hong Kong, no other import fees either.

[southpaw]

Took delivery of more s10 today , 1st thing i noticed is the display now shows the time when in standby , presume this is down th the later f/w , may 2011

mpeg2 + mpeg4 DVB/DVB2 Yes , not mp4 from usb tho

[chanth]

can i know is s9 better than s10 how is the picture quality ?

[southpaw]

Both have good pic quality. S10 only has HDMI, no scart. S10 is better looking than its younger brother, bit like myself. I would go for the s10 as I only ever use my boxes to HD panels, so I don't need scart, and being the newer of the 2 I guess support will be more focused on the 10

There's been talk of an mp4 player update in the next firmware for the s9 so I'd say it will be the same for the s10. Meant to be this month.

[darguewin]

is the picture as good as the dm800hd?

[wortho]

hi been looking at these is there anyway to connect, to a second tv upstairs, i currently use a sender no scart on these so thats out, I was wondering if there is a av out I could connet a cable to and run it upstairs on the 10s.

[southpaw]

s10 has composite out , so with an adapter to scart it will be fine , although picture quality will not win any awards on composite

[np27np27]

So how much are these? Are they clones or the real deal?

[josh1e]

could anyone tell me if the channels / services auto update with the s10 or do you still need to manually change them every month? (28.2e especially)

thanks
