I saw that box on ebay. Says it can do 16apsk. Does not have network plug that I saw. It was calling my name but I couldnt pull the trigger. Love to see your review.....especially if it turn off after a timer recording. I think it has an ali chip and everyone that I know of has that very annoying bug.

Anyway would love to hear a review...might help my trigger finger pull.

I only had the opportunity to scan Anik F1R at 107.3w. Of course this receiver booted up in pal and had to revert to my old mini tv to set the proper resolution. It almost seems identical to the openbox/skybox s16 with just the bare bones and yes it as working with an ali chip. Accurate scan(blind) on 107.3w proved to be quite accurate and scanned in under 2 minutes. There aren't enough features on this box to retain it for my main lineup but at under $30, it does the job as well as much higher priced units.

would be worth it just to rip apart to see what makes it tick.

I decided to take this no name box downstairs and have it scan c band satellites with a circular feed. To my amazement it hasn't missed a tp yet and its blind scan is faster then most receivers I have tested, exceptions being x2 premium, x2 premium III, x2 premium mini, golden interstar hd and technomate 5402 m3. It is lacking several things that most receivers have like proper info bar and after I deleted all the Euro/Asian satellites I noticed that I cannot name sats so I'm just setting them up as numbers according to there orbital position. I will attempt to record and upload images of some channels it has scanned in.

Sounds like you got a good deal for 30 dollars even if it's lacking some features.

Can't wait for Brian Gohl, his boy servant Joe, and the other minions to start calling this 30 dollar receiver Illegal.
