I also just received an ebay Azbox. Also no manual. Also the unusual power plug.
However I had a power plug that fit it, so I used that.
Connected it via HDMI, and turned it on. On the Azbox, it said loading, then eventually "settings" or something like that. However nothing on the TV screen, except a message from my TV saying something like "unsupported mode".
I've read something like 150-200 posts on the Azbox over the past couple days, and I remember reading something about if it comes up in PAL mode or something, that you get a blank screen, and I remember reading about a procedure to get out of that situation, however I wasn't positive that this was the problem, so I didn't want to do anything serious until I verified that this was probably the problem.
The Azbox has some weird looking antenna plug. I may hook that up to an old TV that might not freek out on seeing PAL, and see if anything comes out of that in the meantime. I get the impression that these ebay Azboxes are straight from europe and haven't been Americanized at all.
Anyway, I won't have much more time to play tonight, but should tomorrow. Will be interested in the experiences of other people who just got them.
Had to pull the Coolsat and my Popcorn Hour to install the Azbox, the Coolsat to get an available sat coax, and the Popcorn to get an HDMI input to my TV.
I'm curious... is there such a thing as an HDMI multi-input switch, like they have for A/V and SVID? My TV only has 2 HDMI and 2 component, and I've run out of inputs. \
