Openbox S10 going dead after scanning more than 4 satellites

I have had this happen to me once i just connected to com port on my desktop and reflashed and all was up and running. Sometimes it can be bad flashed to begin with. Does'nt happen much but that was the case with mine. I have had a m8 who's box said moving dish all the time then he re-flashed and been working fine.

Certainly not the most stable boxes out there

This box has limited space for storing different sats.. Fill up vey easily...
Delete things yo are not likely to watch..
I would only recomend this as a cheap spare room box or single sat use

Hi All,

Need to know whether anyone is having the same problem.

My S10 just went dead few weeks ago. The on/off light was coming up at all. I thought that was something to do with the plug or the power support in the box. I moved it from 1 room to the other within my house, even tried all the sockets in vain. Then I tried few friends places with no success. I then returned to the retailer shop in UK (as box still under the warranty).

I just received an email from the retailer saying :

""I test it for more than 24 hrs.
I found that more than 12 satellites downloaded in it , the receiver memory is limited . i suggest you not download more than 3/4 satellites.
I did a factory reset and changed the firmware.
I scanned a single satellite 28.2e and it is working Ok.
Now your box is ready for collection."""

My questions are:

1 - Is this normal?
2 - What happened to those who have a motorized sat system and can scan multiple sat lists?

I planned to to buy a Orthon X403p from the same shop and I need some advise as they are encouraging me to get REDLINE receiver instead

Please help

Thank you

Well, consider that you have a Openbox, not a Dreambox or a Vu +, for example.
These boxes are very limited in matters of memory and other things.
4 Satelites (maybe 4000 channels or more) is to much for the openbox.

Thank you All

I think I need to save money for a Vu + since I have a DM 500s alreday
Where can I get the good Vu+ at reasonable cost?

Cheers,

Yes, i think this is the best solution.
