Updating
the firmware
For such powerful and truly
universal receiver it’s impor-
tant to keep the internal soft-
ware up-to-date, because it’s
enormous potential is still
not fully uncovered. ABCom
attempted to simplify it, by
adding the possibility to down-
load and install the firmware
right from the box, without
any external devices needed.
But, unfortunately, something
went seriously wrong. The
910HD we got had a firmware
version 8340, while according
the manufacturers website,
the most actual one is 8360.
The most obvious way was
to go to “Advanced Setup”
- “Network Update” menu.
And what have we here? Two
totally outdated firmware
releases! This issue definitely
needs to be taken care of by
the manufacturer. We had to
select another way to update
the receiver’s firmware by
using the USB memory stick.
From the hardware point of
view AB IPBox 910HD hardly
leaves anything to be desired.
All needed connectors, pos-
sibility to switch tuners as
plug-and-play, ability to
receive DVB-S and DVB-S2,
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, HDTV
and SDTV. You can even copy
all your favorite films, music
files and photos to its hard
disk. Play games or check
the weather forecast. Easily
install hundreds of available
software addons. Or turn
the receiver into something
totally new by installing one
of the alternative firmwares.
ABCom keeps doing its
homework, and while the
majority of basic things are
perfectly working in 910HD,
it’s a good, future-proof
choice !
