I have just received from the manufacturers in China, a nice new shiny Openbox V8s. Basic firmware and no channel list installed as per request.
I downloaded the firmware direct from Skybox.cc and a channel list from AJSat---installed easily, I also got given a testline from China and in it went. It took me about 20mins to take from package to seeing pictures on screen [Boomerang for those who know my mentality]:whistling:
I then went further and scanned in Astra 19.2e, Astra 23.5e and Hotbird 13e with the aid of USALS, they all scanned fast and accurate.
For such a cheap [around £40] box it's a newbies dream come true and shouldn't be laughed at. Picture quality, ease of set up and a nice new designed remote---what more does one want. It's a great innovation and should last awhile if you read and follow instructions.
[No--I do not sell boxes or lines but I do test for some very nice people who give me the boxes to play with and if these boxes were c*** then I would say so but all I can say is---You get a lot for a small payout] I'm well happy with this box, roll on the V10 when it appears.
