Skybox F5 or Openbox X5 ?!?!?!

[macmilm]

Gonna be ordering a cheapo sat box in next few days and cant decide on Skybox F5 or Openbox X5...

The openbox seems to be lightly higher specced, processor is faster and more RAM if I am correct but most people seem to go for Skybox.
Any tips appreciated.

Also which one is easiest to setup will be a factor as a noob at all this...

Thanks

Get a solo clone much better box and about £80 from china. Easy to set up and have good images available.

When I said cheapo sat box I meant it ;-)...
Can get the F5 for £48 delivered.... not wanting to spend more than that until work picks up at the mo mate.

Thanks

Edit: Actually I might have got your price for Solo wrong as it is a bit fucked up (i assume by tapatalk )

[Ashley]

Yeah is tapatalk messing it up its about eighty quid. And you do get what you pay for as skyboxes etc are shit.

Thanks mate... cheapest I can find one for is £110ish....

Have found one called a 'Cloud iBox' that some people say is a mini vu+ solo clone but not too sure if that is true or not... that can be had for £85

hi, is that including delivery and any import charges?
would you mind sending me the link too please?

[Ashley]

It's free delivery and I haven't been charged import duty.

Thanks mate.. all done and ordered... Simple site to use I might add. They didnt need to know my height, weight and eye colour lol
I assume they take the typical 3 weeks delivery time most stuff from HK takes ???

Thanks again for your help

When i have bought from HK I always ask them to mark it as a gift, that way u can be sure of no charges.

Its all well and good buying from China but when or if your box devolps a fault its a proper kick in the dick to send it back.

Yes but at those prices they are almost disposable... happy if I get 12 months out of it
