I've got both.. nice units. I tend to like the 10 better. But some cry about the lack of component out like the 9 has. But if u an hdmi guy, then go for the 10

Sent using SatelliteGuys with my EVO non 3D LoL

Go for the S10 i am very happy with mine.

I've got an s9 that I got from another member here and have no complaints in the last month other than it doesn't seem to like the external hard drive that I use with my AZboxes? Not a biggie for me but it is something that others may find annoying. I've been told that I need to format that drive for the s9 but there's too much stuff on it and it still works with the AZs so why bother.

FYI, this is one of the BEST and fastest blind scan receivers I've seen to date. Although it won't do 4.2.2 video it makes up for that with the "scan all satellites" feature, which I love.

And the price is right even for a new one @ around $130 shipped.

I don't have an S10, but I love my S9. All receivers have bugs, and this one is no exception. You just can't go wrong for the money...

Really simple answer..just buy one of each and you'll still spend less than 200 dollars for the pair. I've been able to buy both new for that price.

Price keeps dropping wish the same was true will oil, http://ftasatelliteequipment.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=45

I've owned both and other than a couple minor differences (S9 has a Euro power plug, S10 has US plug) they both work great

 

[T4Runner]

I have the S9 and am for the most part a satisfied customer. I loaded an updated software containing the uSA satellites, but as said above, there are things I don't like about all of my receivers. Whatever software version I have, the timer record function doesn't work. (It does manually record) But it picks up channels all my other non S2 receivers won't.

I have an S10, I like it, but I don't use a motor so can't speak to that. My only complaint is the crude recording capability. Not up to today's standards at all. You have to leave it on if you want to timer-record a late event, and it won't turn itself back on to record another event later that night. Very Mickey Mouse-Fisher Price at best IMO, but MAYBE they'll fix it and it will be a good all-around box then.

Nice to get various opinions, my only concern is I heard there are clones of these units. Can someone recommend a dealer that can be trusted, that
does not sell the clones.
