Review: Original, not a clone - I ordered the Openbox S10 from desertcart and the supplier was L33T Group, Inc. I think experiences may differ based on who supplies it. I've been using this receiver about a month now. Some people are selling fake clones of this receiver so I did check it based on information on a forum. The Openbox I received is an original and not a clone. The problem with clones is that if you update the firmware or change the OS, it will brick after 10 on and off cycles (forums did have work arounds for clones though). I am using this strictly for FTA on Hispasat 30W. I don't use any cams or cards so can't tell you anything about compatibility with them. I use a fixed offset dish so I can't comment on motor controls but the menu has everything to use a motor. The receiver did not come with Hispasat freqs preloaded. I did a blind scan and it found every free to air tv and radio channel listed on LyngSat. I was not able to get EPG (electronic program guide) to work though. I think that HispaSat may not have an EPG for the U.S. beam though. I connected a 16 Gb USB stick and use the PVR function. It works very well. I have it setup to auto-record whatever channel I am watching so I can pause or rewind live shows and it starts recording immediately after changing channels (1 to 2 seconds). I noticed that audio/video sync was off on most channels by about 3 seconds and was quite annoying. I updated to the latest firmware and it fixed the problem. I think there are multiple ways to upgrade but the method I used required me to download it to the USB stick. You insert the USB stick into the Openbox and go to "Upgrade by USB" in the menu. It loses all settings after upgrading but HispaSat was in the new firmware. I had to set my LNB type and scan for all the channels again. Definitely worth it though for the synchronization. The receiver has an excellent picture. It changes channels quickly. The remote worked well for the 2 days I used it before setting up my Harmony universal remote. I have never had the Openbox lock up or reboot on me. The box is small and light. It gets pretty warm but not too excessive. My entertainment system is in a sealed closet and it hasn't overheated even with the stereo heating the closet up pretty good. I have one issue that seems to be a compatibility issue with another device. I use a RE BL IR repeater/ IR to blue-tooth PS3 controller. If you are one of the rare people who uses one of these, you might want to know about this otherwise disregard. At a distance of over 11 ft using the RE BL and the wired emitter, the channel up and down function often outputs a number rather than channel up or down. Instead of being able to scroll through the channels you will keep ending up at the channel number that the RE BL relays to the Openbox. I have definitely confirmed the problem to be with the RE BL and not the Openbox. Update 12/26/2015: I just wanted to mention we are still using two of these OpenBox S10s. One of them will freeze...well let me be more specific. There is a specific channel that if it is left on that channel for several hours, the box stops accepting inputs. The screen does not freeze. I still have sound and picture. It just doesn't do anything when pressing buttons on the remote or face. I have to turn it off with the switch on the back of the unit. Otherwise, that is the only problem since installing these. Definitely still satisfied and the next box that does what this box does is still double what I paid then. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005JB3A20 | | Analog Video Output | RGB | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Brand | Openbox | | Built-In Media | Receiver | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, HDMI, USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (54) | | Manufacturer | Openbox | | Model Number | S10 HD | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | ## Product Details - **Analog Video Output:** RGB - **Audio Output Mode:** Surround - **Brand:** Openbox - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet, HDMI, USB - **Total USB Ports:** 1 ## Images ![S10 HD Satellite Receiver PVR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xr8LAYf5L.jpg) ![S10 HD Satellite Receiver PVR - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510Wh3I23IL.jpg) ![S10 HD Satellite Receiver PVR - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Oe9-+nGYL.jpg) ![S10 HD Satellite Receiver PVR - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61a5NY87F9L.jpg) ![S10 HD Satellite Receiver PVR - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CXXzyzOEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can it work in the Bahamas** A: It will work anywhere, in-fact, the commonly available Open Boxes are Chinese clones of the original Russian design and the bulk of Open Box business is with the EU.Generally, they arrive from China with the European satellite list (not the North American). Being in the Bahamas, you should be able to receive at least some of the European satellites and probably some of the North Americans.Most likely, you will have to program or edit che satellite list.Regards. **Q: how to use** A: Well....operating a satellite receiver is not just THAT simple! It would take upward of 10.000 pages to do it...My recommendation is to find a local engineer that may be able to help, or...... subscibe to one of the satellite services (Direct TV etc) and learn how to digest their mal-odorous trash.Sorry I cannot better help you. **Q: My openbox S10 receiver stopped moving dish via motor. Other box moves it. I replaced the powerboard and the SHARP tuner.What should I do?** A: As far as I know, the S10 Power Supply has not enough power to drive a Dish Motor. I had a OpenBox S10 and couldn't move my motor dish. However, I readed somewhere that Openbox S10 works from 110 to 220 VAC, and if you connect the S10 to a 220Volt AC Outlet then it will move your motor dish. I didn't do that test and just replaced The S10 for a Micro HD, wich has not that problem. So WARNING! . Before attempt that, verify that Openbox S10 works also with 220 Volts AC. I repeat : I didn't do that test, just knew about it. **Q: How many volts can this box support? A 220-240v?** A: I understand this receiver can operate from 110 to 220V AC (Don't know if there will be a problem applying 240V). I you use 110V (as I did), this receiver can't drive a dish motor. Somebody said that using 220V there is no problem driving a dish motor (I didn't test that) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by I***H on September 6, 2014* great box but hdmi port died after 4 years rest still works fine. seller was fast . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original, not a clone *by G***Y on May 12, 2012* I ordered the Openbox S10 from Amazon and the supplier was L33T Group, Inc.

It came with the two prong 220V plug , so can't plug it in in the US. Also it is a metal case and no ground (the cord is two wire). After I solve the plug problem I will see how I want to solve the grounding problem. I may install a three wire cord but this involves opening the case and I want to make sure it works first. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/1159132-s10-hd-satellite-receiver-pvr](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/1159132-s10-hd-satellite-receiver-pvr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
