iSmart m100

This receiver has the same bug as the X5 where you will turn it on and the remote control will not work. Only the power button. In the past I have had to recover the receiver to get it to function again. Other times doing a hard reset will make it work again. It looks like I will have to recover it. Not sure what is causing this but it is the same issue as the X5 with newer firmwares.

I ordered one from Amazon, I'll see if Mrs Wang send me the factory and any editor or recovery tool. Since I have an Openbox X5 which look 100% the same I can say this is a clone from. I bet the X5 files work fine on this one

As per Ma Wang , they will begin updating the firmware for this model with already inputs by next week. They will also release IR sensor cable to hide the unit behind TVs and the RS232 cable converter, hopefully we will see support for some time

Couple of questions.....
1. Is it an ali chip? DOes it shutdown or power off after recording?

2. Does it do DVB-S2? 16apsk?

3. How well does it blind scan? fast accurate?

Thanks for the information guys!!!!

Seems awful cheap if it can do S2, 16apsk, blind scan etc!!!

I should get mine on wednesday to test. What I read so far this is probably an Openbox X5 clone , 667 MHz High Speed MIPS Processor -Sunplus 1512A Processor.

I went ahead and ordered one. For $39 and free shipping....if it just does S2 that is a good price. I'm pretty sure that like carlospro 43 said...it will do S2, Blind Scan, etc. But looking at specs not sure/don't think it will do 16apsk. Thank goodness not ali chip...why they always shutdown receivers after recording is beyond me.

Seriously....$39, that's all. May I ask where you ordered it from?

I found it on amazon but no shipping to Canada. I already tested the x5 but wasn't too impressed. The x5 is ali type but the ismart m100 isn't?

All I get on my X5 packaging and user manual is the same info the m100 has: Sunplus 1512A Processor, 667 MHz High Speed MIPS Processor. No idea is this is an Ali chip. Sounds to me like a Linux
