This file allows the S10 users to have the same menus and features that are found on the S9. We figured sooner or later they would make a file that works for both receivers.

Thanks el,

I loaded this file on the S10 and indeed it does change the menu to S9 style..

On my set up there are a few problems..

The power button..once pressed the box will still stay on whatever screen you were on, the front display will go blank and no response from the remote until you do a hard boot.

Also in the menu settings my antenna options and scan options are grayed out, so no way to do a sat scan.

I reverted back to the older S10 file to get these option back..

This S10 is a much weaker stb, I would recommend staying with the S9.

It has a much weaker tuner than the S9 or the SW for it needs fixed badly..My S9 will pick up ktel at 79w ku no problems the S10 will not even look at it.

It misses numerous TP's that the S9 will scan in easy...and it scans painfully slow.

My Manhattan is a joy compared to the S10...:th_thumbs20up:

In the receiver menu, Did you go to the satellite list and put a check mark beside the satellite before you did anything else? This has to be done first.

I loaded my sat list..from my previous settings, so yes they were all there and checked.

[el bandido]

Try it on the S10 without the list and see what happens. I did not load a list because I wanted to see how it scanned.:th_tut20tut:

"My Manhattan is a joy compared to the S10..."

Viper, how does your Manhattan compare to the S9. I have an S9 so would be interested in your comparison .

Well, I don't want to make a habit of off topic posts,, but since I brought it up..:blah: lol

I posted a somewhat of a comparison in the Manhattan discussion area a while back.

This was before they added PID entry through remote rather than fumbling around with the editor..

The Manhattan is better built and has superior hardware than the openbox and will last much longer, picture Q on both SD and HD are very, very nice, I believe the SD surpasses the openbox easily and HD is possibly better as well.

Scanning speeds are just as fast or better than the openbox s9, it blows the s10 away on scanning and accuracy. And this was with the beta unit with less memory.. The production unit will have double the memory and upgraded software with new LNB settings that none other has.

The Manhattan engineer is also in the USA and has been very good taking our suggestion and implementing them in the box.We have a direct line to advise the engineer and the hardware tech on possible improvements, we don't have to go hunting for files from Chinese websites or other questionable forums.

There also maybe a big bonus in the production unit,we will see once it arrives.

Support alone and the addition of PID entry should make this a hit in my opinion.

Hope I answered what you were looking for. :yes2:

Oh and anyone who say's this is some sort of openbox knock off has no Idea what there talking about.

That got the scan menu back..Just scanned 72w ku 8 minutes and missed a tp, did the same on the s9 picked up the missing tp and scanned in 2 minutes.

The only good thing is the remote, changed the v format button to the bottom where you can't press it by accident..I use the remote for the s9 now.

That reminds me I gotta go to the fridge and get a cold beer. :rofl:

[Lee]

Careful bro, I hear that the fridge is quite often full of meth.

As a reminder please keep in the request llist the BEEP noise when locking the TPs within the ANT SETUP. In that way we can use the box to do outside installations on S2 signals:zip:

OK

[el bandido]

The LAN feature works good.
I can load ABS files to the receiver through the network, and I can download/upload .dbs files for satellite and channel information. :Ghelyon:

Please upload good abs file manhattan high, so that we can load them on our receiver S 10.

Thank upser: Thanx:

Welcome to Legit Upser.
I doubt the Manhattan file will load on a S10 receiver, but you are welcome to try it when it is released. EB

[Jeff S.]

S-10 or Openbox sw will not work on Manhattan and visa versa!

Two different languages used.

Can you watch 110 or 119 on the s10. I am unable.

[el bandido]

Yes. You can watch the unencrypted channels when they are available on 110 and 119.

all firmware prior to june had that option,but I could never get it to work.
Later firmware had the option removed.
LNB power menu:beep on/off ber on/off
both were set to off by default.
also you could set receiver to view all channels,fta channels,scrambled channels only.

[dr.zin]

I wanted to try that one but the link is dead.
The last one I tried the tuner didn't work on the s10.(june 15th)
