I just got my s10 yesterday.The electrical cord connection was a piece of junk.I could not get it to power up now matter what i did.
I ended up cutting the cord and installing a new plug.The wire was very small,but if the consumption is low,I guess it doesn't need much.
So,maybe the s12 has a better line cord,LOL
Still ,probably the best buy on the US market today.!!

 

[Mr Tony]

so what does the S12 do that the S10 doesn't? Other than being a new number last I checked they still havent fixed simple things

maybe by the S27 it will be fixed

 

[Mr Tony]

damn a couple weeks ago we had a thread on the S11
http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/274637-openbox-s11.html

so whats the difference?

Likely the same product from a different Chinese factory...

Or, to quote a line from the film 'Tron: Legacy'--

"What sort of improvements have been made in Flynn... I mean, Encom OS 12?"

"This year, we put a '12' on the box."

LOL...

Different context, but still somewhat applicable:

[eurosport]

This joke has officially passed "Free DBS" as the most hilarious FTA story now! (at least to me) ....another "new" POS? -Really???
...You can sprinkle all the cinnamon you want on a turd, and it'll STILL smell like $h*t!!!

Same features as my S9 which now has working PVR with newer firmware. Best DVB-S2 sat receiver I own! I only own 1 and I'm keeping it.

 

[oblio]

Gotta wonder why anyone would buy a new Openbox of any version at this point (or any other brand) when the new AV Sat box is supposed to only be a matter of weeks away and its likely at the same or better price point..... Remains to be seen if it lives up to the development hype but seems it would be prudent to see what its all about before buying anything else.

 

[cyberham]

I agree with you. My main disappointment, if I understand correctly, is there will be no network interface on the new box. Now having used a network interface with my S9 to manipulate via my PC the channel data, it would be hard to give that up. Once you've had something nice, hard to go back. I would probably pay whatever is necessary to have a network interface since I don't buy any electronic device anymore that doesn't. Even my TV talks to the Internet via my router.

Maybe the year it comes out designates the model number?

 

[PopcornNMore]

I still love my Openbox S9 receiver!

EDIT: I mean my S9!

So who's going to buy an S12 and go the 15 months waiting for working FW that has to come from a "third party"? Not me. I said 15 months because that is how long I "put up with" a "sorta' working S9. (Thankful for the polish programmer's efforts.) Me thinks the reign of the SSO is about to come to an end with the release of the MicroHD. UNLESS: they actually make one that works as advertised, from the get go. I, for one, am not holding my breath. BTW: I liked my S9, until this polish S10 FW(unlocked to also work in an S9), now I love it.

So what has changed with the Polish Firmware and where can you get it?

 

[chaskuchar]

worked in networks for a long time. was in communications since the early 60's. seen a lot of changes. have a solomend with the rg45. i figure i can get a port into the router but never got into local networks. novell and microsoft i understand. what would i do if i could hook the two together. right now i have the computer on and the receiver on and if i am looking for the satellite because my fricking acctuator don't go to the right place, i get the list up on the computer and find out a valid transponder to look for. some times the transponder on the list in the s9/solomend has a very different bit count or even the wrong polarity. thanks to the list, i get back on track. trying to get a satellite list with the valid transponders that i can see. keeps an old sailor occupied. charlie

Badadem, check out this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-ai...7-openbox-s9-firmware-working-clock-read.html I've seen it said in a few forums that it was a pole that did the fix to the FW. Pre-warning, it doesn't seem to work in all the different "incarnations" of the S9 .

Yea I saw this a few weeks ago. But I'm waiting for free DBS to tell me what receiver to buy when they
light up their transponder. So I guess I could say thanks for helping me save some cash until that
faithful day

It made my day just reading the engrish writeup.
