Buyer Beware, this receiver has problems and is poorly engineered

No, I would not recommend this product.

It will receive some HD satellite broadcasts.
However it has a lot of factory firmware problems built into it.
Some functions like the time and the timer functions don't work at all.
Some of the receiver remote control functions don't do anything either or they don't do what they are supposed to do.
The product manual doesn' explain very well at all about the different receiver functions and about how to set them all up.

The factory has released 3 firmware updates for this receiver and all of them came with multible problems.
Of the 3 versions the first one appears to have the lesser of problems so I reinstalled it and now since I am now stuck with the receiver I am hoping that the factory will finally come out with a version that will correct the defects and make this receiver into what one would expect it to be.

If I had known at first of all this disfunctionality that is built into this product, I would never have purchased it, not even at half it's current retail price.

Seller 5 stars, product - skip it until they get the bugs out.

No, I would not recommend this product.

I can only write about my experience and the seller gets 5 stars but I could not program this receiver after multiple re-boots. It would take some of the input and reject others. I've programmed several satellite receivers even going back to BUDs and old Echostars and General Instruments receivers and I can only conclude there is something
wrong with the one I had.
The features convinced me to buy it but the programming simply would not stick.

Do not buy this item.

No, I would not recommend this product.

I would never buy this item if I could do it over. The users manual is absolutely terrible and I still have never gotten an FTA signal from it, and I've had it about a month. Mine came with a satellite list for the other side of the planet apparently. I can't seem to find any support for it. Avoid it! Anyone want mine ?

Fair to poor

No, I would not recommend this product.

I purchased a Openbox S9 but received a Openbox S10. This is the worst receiver I have ever purchased. Works very slow and you can't keep the time on the unit. They are suppose to be looking into this feature. My old Coolstat Receiver works better, faster, but is not an HD Receiver or its not Impeg 4. Other than that for a S10 Receiver it is okay.
