Openbox S10 For Sale On Fleabay?

[PopcornNMore]

I had a tough decision to make this past weekend...purchase an Openbox S10 HD receiver to replace a Coolsat 4000 SD receiver or purchase a HD TV to replace a SD 19" CRT TV in our master bedroom. If I purchased the Openbox S10 HD receiver I wouldn't be able to enjoy the HD programming using an old CRT TV, so I chose to purchase the HD TV first and order the Openbox S10 HD receiver in a few months after some of the bugs are worked out and when hopefully more money will be in the budget to do so.

I was able to purchase a brand new 26" LED LCD HD TV along with a brand new 3D wireless network internet app blu-ray player for under $200 with enough money left over to order pizza and bread sticks for dinner and then treat my wife and daughter to frozen yogurt at a new yogurt place in town for Mother's Day.

That was a bargain. And I think, a wise decision. - :up

I got a 22" 1080p LCD (not LED) a year or two ago, and it was $200 on sale!
Size is okay.
I recommend 26" and 32" to anyone who'll listen for a bedroom TV, though.
Most 32's are 720p's , but last Xmas I saw a major brand (maybe Toshiba?) for dirt cheap, and it actually was a 1080p.

Sadly, I got no pizza nor ice cream. -

That is a good deal, wow! I promised myself I wouldn't purchase a blu-ray player until they were prices around the $50 mark... When DVD came out I got a player at $250... 1 year later they were selling for $40. I prefer to let someone else pay the tech companies for their R&D.

I just finished writing a lengthy email to a friend of mine that is interested (I think) in satellite TV, we met on a site years ago devoted to hacking. Whatever ....

Anyway, he mentioned that he was about to spend $170 for a wifi BluRay so his wife could stream videos from Netflix. I have two BluRay players, they both were purchased from Walmart, and neither was over $100. This second one is wifi capable, but a tech at a computer store talked me into making my own cables instead of going wifi and we did that.

With the Openbox S9 in the bedroom, I feel we have just about the best of these worlds for programming, but I too am waiting for SOMEONE to buy and tell us about the S10. I would LOVE to replace the Conaxsat DUO that is in the living room with a new Openbox, but now I think I'll hold off and see what others say about it first.

Just my thoughts at 3:30 in the morning.

I'd be rather surprised if the S10 software worked any different than the S9, other than having the menu at the top of the screen.

That's not just a great deal, it is an exceptional deal... The deal of a lifetime! A 3D-enabled Blu-Ray player is over $100 even on a good sale, and a 26" LED LCD HDTV runs at least $250 or so. I just dropped $195 shipped on a 22" 1080p internet-connected HDTV...

Just won one for $95 on Fleabay. I'll write a review when I get it.

Both the VIZIO 26" LED LCD HDTV and VIZIO VBR334 3D blu-ray player with wireless network and internet applications arrived today in brand new grade A condition. I only paid $16 for the blu-ray player and it works flawless and even came with a FREE Netflix subscription. I guess the person who purchased it and then returned it to the store never removed the box ID from his service. I guess I'll have free Netflix as long as the person continues to subscribe.

Paid $160 for the TV and $16 for the 3D blu-ray player. I'll be purchasing the Openbox S10 receiver sometime this summer now that we have a decent TV in the bedroom to accept the HD input.

Now that's the deal of the century, lol. Sure makes me wish I could get broadband where I live.

Cheers

I'm now wondering if the new firmware within the S10 can be downloaded into a S9 since the hardware is basically the same. It would give the S9 the look and feel of a S10.

Excellent!

I thought the software was the same for both units?

 

[Jim S.]

Nope. The S10 has its main menu icons arranged at the top of the screen instead of the side.

At one of the other boards, someone tried putting the S10 software on an S9 (or maybe it was vice-versa). No go.
