Skybox F3 or F5 help, advice or support needed? give uncle det a shout.

[Goldberg]

Cool. So the F5 or F5s??

Going to grab one off ebay now once I know

[Detector]

well I can only speak for myself but I only use skybox f5, ive not tried the f5s m8 but im more than happy with the f5, it does what I need and I connect mine to my projector and pump tv straight into that

[Goldberg]

Cool. It's just the f5s has popped up a lot.
I'm happy to go with the f5 as people in the know have it and I will need help.

[Goldberg]

Looks like the F5s replaces the F5, sounds like they are all compatible but it's hit and miss with the wifi etc.

I expect a lot of it is to do with noobs. I'm going to dive into one on eBay, fuck it!

Stick an xtra 40 notes to it and get a vu solo clone.

[Goldberg]

Double the price..
I will test this one and might grab the other if I feel the need in the future.

I got an F5 just to test the water and with the uncertainty of things as they are and I'm very happy with it, sure it's basic but it does the job and I get no problems with it. I will also look at a Vu clone when things about the future become a little clearer..
I don't use the wifi and have it hard wired, works fine..

It's worth the extra £40 just for the EPG and stuff.

I started with an Openbox and had it about 3 days before binning it for a solo.

[Goldberg]

Worst case it becomes a second box.

I'm thinking of Buying an F5s what should i be looking for as on ebay the prices are so different depending on what channels you get.

I'm sure i would be capable pf installing tv lists to get what i want, with some tuition .

[Goldberg]

Just grab one around the £45-£50 mark.

Do NOT buy one with a Wifi Dongle... It simply fails...
You are going to need to plug the box into a router so consider that (unless you only want Freesat).

As for the rest...

Cheers will do that thanks for the advice which i will be looking for more of.

[Goldberg]

Just a word of advice, if you then it is worth considering that people do not know if they will be useful for 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or beyond.

It is all part of the game

Failing the they will still work for Freesat HD

For those that are struggling to get their channels working again after sly have changed frequencies this site will help you, ive done a step-by-step guide and i will keep updating the downloads with the latest working versions. they will always be tested before i add them to the main site! http://www.sboxupdates.com/

[Goldberg]

Think mine is all good (well for footy) so going to leave it until I have an issue

[rookie]

my wifi works fine with the skybox, but wifi is no good, i always get glitching etc so hardwire mine.
aj does a channel list update always best to grab that,

[BigBrand]

My router is next to the F5 so I'm not arsed.

I have SkyTV on a £25 a month package, and then just use the F5 for Sky Sports, BT Sports and Boxnation etc.

FUCK SKY haha

[blaggard]

I'll let you all continue to wallow in your own faeces

All the best fella's

And it was going so well!!! bye bye
