this looks like it has the same chipset as the openbox x5 series. I went ahead and ordered one. I like the fact that it has a 12v input so I can run it off a car battery when there is a power outage. I would like to compare this receiver to the wave of mini receivers being released lately.

I don't see any prices, unless of course their $0.00.

I sure hope they provide firmware support on these receivers and not dump them after six months.

I am guessing openbox x5 firmware will be the same for it. Picked one up on amazon from x2 for 39 bux shipped. You can see there it has the same menus as the x5 series, same processor as well.

For 39 bux, if it does everything the specs claim and the firmware works, it might give the X2 a run for the money.

I got the receiver last night and briefly set it up. The skybox X5 remote control works with it. All of the menus are the same as the X5. It has a different background that says ismart. It is a very small receiver. It has a north american Ku satellite list preloaded. I did a quick blind scan and it seemed to lose power to the lnb. I have a pretty long cable run that is buried in snow so this may contribute to losing signal. Tonight it is working well and has no problem driving my motor. Everything so far seems to work on par with the x5 receiver.
