Thread: What USB HDD works with S10 What FW works w/HDD

I never thought of using a USB extension cable for updates, thanks hwm.

Radio, you've mentioned in post #2 above that you have the openbox s10 with VERSION CHS2-11-10-10. Is this FW file name? I do have the same version in my openbox s10 (chipset 1015), but I noticed when I turn the unit off with the remote control, I get a blank LCD at the front, no stanby light nor clock. However, when I set the clock manually (there is no clock settings option for north america time zones in the menu), the clock display does come up after power off with the remote, but once hard rebooted the lcd goes back to blank display. Have you observed similar issues?

Not really, but I'll give it a look-see. I don't remember ever seeing a "power off" issue (clock or any other issue) except when I got the S10 unit, it literally would not power down at all from remote! The remote would only freeze the video, shut down audio, like it was halfway between on and off status. I try to keep my clock set, and it displays nicely. Quite frankly, I leave the receiver on 100 percent of the time, unless it freezes-up, which it tends to do on HD channels left tuned for a very long time. (like days that I don't have time to watch TV.)

The S10 is an odd box, and like many have observed here, the same software can cause different results depending on the hardware components inside.

Thanks for replying.

some old s10's had a different front panel and I know some old ones had a ethernet card that connected via ribbon cable,it is probably a mismatch of hardware/firmware that may never be resolved with new firmware.
My s10 won't turn off with the remote with old firmware,but was fixed with the may 22 firmware and newer.

I am running a 1tb hitachi on my S9 with no problems and the recent firmware that allows recording of 2 channels while watching another on the same transponder.
