I like the box and i like the design of it even though almost everybody else that bought one seems to hate it. Bought the box, bought the gift and had it set up within a few minutes......there is not much of an improvement in the image quality.....but then again the image quality of the v8s i had was perfect. As far as the channel lists go, they are badly laid out and i much prefer the menu design of the v8s. The v8s was far easier to navigate. However it is still early days for the v9s and hopefully there will be a good software update and channel list update soon that may fix the issues. My advice, If you have a v8s and are not having any problems, stick with it for awhile until this one gets tightened up a wee bit :)

With the new version of the Openbox system you can no longer create your own favourite list. The menu is flaky at best. Time sync is a major problem. There are benefits such as upgrades to the firmware etc over the network. The channel list is taken from key zones, UK, Spain, Portugal and default. Once the list comes down you then have to spend a long time reordering the channels dropping national channels for local ones which may or may not save correctly. Moving up and down channels is very hit and miss. Going from BBC1 to BBC2 for instance will not work by pressing up on the remote. You have to select Entertainment channels and select BBC2 and hit OK. Overall I would rate this 1 out of 5, it has a long way to go before it meets the requirements and flexibility of the V8S. Unfortunately I read the other reviews after I tried to work with the box. After 2 hours of playing with it and getting nowhere I relegated it to the kitchen and moved my old V8 into the main sitting area.Read full review

The menu system is nice and easy to navigate, you can update the firmware and channel lists without needing a usb stick. It has built in wifi, but you have to check a box to automatically connect to your network otherwise when you reboot you have to connect again. The cam setup was easy enough but there wasn't any indication it was saved or online, but all this works ok once it's set up correctly. The real problem is the EPG, there is no manual update, and all you can see is now and next - and only on the channel you have the cursor on, for example if you're watching 1 and press epg to see what is on another channel, you have to move the cursor onto it else it says 'not available'. I'm assuming it gets the epg via the internet and the server is unreliable, but there's no option to get it via satellite instead. So it's not very user configurable, and the EPG is rubbish, but it works ok. If I were buying another one, I'd stick to a V8s until they release better firmware.Read full review

My first FTA satellite box so wasn't sure what to expect from something so cheap. The OSD and remote are responsive and fast, even if some of the menus are slightly basic and strangely worded. However once i got used to it it's fine, certainly at least equal to the basic OSD built into the TV. Understanding which satellites to scan is unintuitive for a newbie, but once I got the hang of it I am very happy with this box.

The Wi-Fi seems to be very weak so unable to use the V9S box by Wi-Fi. Now hard wired it to the router which is better but not that good. Picture quality is ok but could be much better. Upgraded to the latest software but this has not mad any difference. When going to use You Tube I want to watch Indian films & it comes up with a very long list which seems good but all the films only last for a few seconds or a few minuets. I have a Humax box which also lets me go to You Tube & I can watch full length Indian films with no problems. So I am not happy with the performance of this V9S box including the setup instructions could be a lot better. I am very good at setting electronic items up but not this V9S box.
