Well that makes a difference.
(And thanks to both of you) We could only go by the specs that website has posted. I would love to see an HONEST Iceberg review of the unit. Who knows it might be good.

It appears to be on the front right in this pic from their ebay listing

Yea, but no hurry.
We'll get it for you in February.
That'll give you plenty of time to publish April 1st!
It appears that what SatelliteAV said is correct, that the description on ebay is a combination of features on different boxes. The picture of the back confirms there is no SCART connection. Although that remote looks like one shipped with a cheap Chinese box that had SCART.

USb input is front right location, we'll have some youtube videos up soon for clarification
"Video Resolution(HDMI): 1920X1080 (1080P)"
The specs are just a little confusing
we're working on cleaning up the specs. Apparently, specs were not copied into the html correctly. We are working on it and are aware of the problem
Again, it's hdmi 1.3 and USB. We are working on the specs, errors were made in the specs, we are aware of it. It does support 1080p, h.264, 720p and dolby surround and PVR. Look for upcoming youtube videos.

If you think your unit can stand up to close inspection, send one over to Iceberg for review.
But if it is still a work in progress, you might not want to do that, as all flaws and shortcomings will be revealed.

The seller "paintforcars" has been on ebay for a long time, with good feedback.
It would be interesting to see an honest review of this box. Probably another open/sky/clone/box. But who knows, chinese stuff is getting better all the time.
Link to the same STB on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/OceanSatellite-DVB-S2-Satellite-Receiver-DiSEqC/dp/B0090C5QTO
Does it come with a satellite list for the Americas installed?
Will updated firmware be available for download?
Is it UL approved?
Does it do USALS?

We have to give some credit to oceansatellite coming forward in the forum and give some explanation. This is way more than we have heard from any Openbox manufacturer/ retailer either from China or USA in years. Also, I see they listed their product as a FCC approved. I , as an engineer used to work for a company which deal in a monthy basis with FCC/UL/CSA rules and they usually goes by the law/ books regulations. At least is being review from an USA approval agency and they located in New Jersey. Definetely we will need a review!!
I bought a cheap $39 ,HD stb from china earlier this year (sanken hd-488), broke & out of work . Back of that stb looks like the oceansat's . Listing said it would pick up any fta sat. ch in the world . Haven't / can't proved that wrong ?? . Does DVB-s2 great , Doesn't do AC3 , I can watch all LPB on 87w , but I can't listen to it . Blind scan is real slow , but grabs more ch's & tp's than my Pansat 9200 & CS 5000 . I don't see AC3 listed on the Oceansat either .
Well crap, I never expected a whole thread for just that receiver. I'm looking forward to what people find out about it! Glad to see OceanSat joining the forum, too!
Also glad to see Oceansatellite here and has been a member for over a year. So 2 pluses toward this receiver.I did not delve into the history.
Did you try connecting an AC3 decoder to that "coaxial" on the back? It looks like a spdif coaxial.
