Eyebox X5

[Costactc]

Just got my new Openbox x5 yesterday. It would be great if we could create a forum for the review of this new receiver as it seems to have lots of potential. It comes equipped with an hdmi cable but a North American adapter will be required. I only tested it out briefly last night and have never seen a menu like this on any openbox/skybox receiver. Blind scan is lightning fast with its 667 Mhz high speed processor:
