  • Nbox 5800SX 500gb version, which firmware ?

    Still have the guinea pig receiver here but have not been brave enough to make a start at the hardware modification because i feel that the pdf file that Nano posted above maybe incomplete due to it being translated from Polish and i am waiting for a suitable ttl cable to arrive in the post. If someone here on the forum who is fluent in Polish could get involved and rake through the tons of info here on the net about the modification and see whats maybe left out ?

  • Nbox 5800SX 500gb version, which firmware ?

    I have received today my guinea pig 250gb version of the ITI-5800SX so now the fun starts using the supplied instructions above, i dont speak any Polish so if someone who is fluent in this language and English can help me out with any hints or tips it would be appreciated ?
    I plugged in the receiver which came with a supplied card which i assume is already activated as it decodes all the packages mentioned on Hotbird so i assume this card is mated to this receiver and wont work in my Technomate TM-800HD ?
    I enquired with the Polish seller of the 500gb version whose English is as good as my Polish ;-) asking if this version supported the Enigma2 mod using Google translate which seems to be asking him something different from what i want to know ;-)

  • Nbox 5800SX 500gb version, which firmware ?

    I see the 500gb version of this receiver starting to appear from the usual sources and was wondering if apart from the larger hard drive is there any other differences from the 250gb one that i should be aware of ?
    I went ahead and ordered a 250gb version yesterday to have a go installing the Enigma2 firmware myself but am a bit unsure which one to go for from a stability and support point of view ?


    Many thanks for reading :-)

  • ***box F3 or Openbox S16, which to buy ?

    What are the main differences between the ***box F3 and the Openbox F16 and will the WiFi USB dongles made for the F3 work OK on the S16 ?
    I think the S16 is maybe a newer receiver and maybe not as well supported from a software and firmware point of view, one thing does it have a rear USB port unlike the F3 and are they a similar size ?


    Many thanks.
