Got hold of a s10 to have a play with. Fairly easy to get a channel list and softcam config across.
Used the latest channel list from this thread, it hasn't changed the names of my favourites categories though... From what, I've seen picture quality is not bad....but OS and menus are pretty crap and basic... Maybe I've been using proper Linux Recievers for too long...

Sometimes you have to rename the favs yourself.
If using on fixed 28.2e there are ch lists around with sly numbering and all favs sorted.
Menu is poor but very cheap reliable stb.
Does softcams/biss/dcw keys.
Pause live tv etc so good value for money.

I will have an updated channel list soon (if I can get a few hours or more this weekend), just haven't had time to update it.

I been testing an unofficial firmware by anonymousSX over the weekend good firmware but unstable on certain channels. I.e. movies premiere softcam crashes every few mins requiring reboot to fix.

They are for clone receivers really.
Reverting back to the previous firmware seems to have fixed the softcam crashing issues. Renamed the favourites manually. I still need to tweak the channel listings to get them right for my liking.
Seem like ok boxes for basic TV watching. Anyone who is used to enigma, based Linux Recievers will find these to be a major step down though...
The OS is more basic and crap than even old e1 boxes like DM500. But pic quality is ok, no glitches on HD Content runs softcam and shares without problems...easy to flash firmware and backup existing firmware etc. Haven't tested pvr yet but for 60 quid these are good beginner recievers.
There are some annoying niggles though, like not being able to see the full channel name in the channel listings.

VFM they take some beating at the price.
Yup I agree, for the price I havent seen anything better.
Can't take credit for this as I really don't have time to sit in front of my box with the empty channels and changed frequencies, but updated channel list is attached. This should work fine with the S9.

do these channel lists work with the s11 as im thinking about buying 1! or is it best to buy an s9!
I would think so as from what I know the interface is based on the same code, but I can't really test this as I don't have an S11.
List updated.

is it normal for the openbox to have the skybox home screen when loading this?
