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

[ShySheep]

get me a video which clearly shows no network cable attached and only connected to the crappy skybox wifi dongle. either you have a cancer causing wifi signal, or a fluke to get both things working or your having us on. either way I require pictures of your missus

Will get some video footage tonight and duly upload to youtube for perusal. Not sure you have enough posts to qualify for pics of my wife though :-p

I'll settle for a picture of you in your worst skid ridden briefs whilst greasing up a sucking pig in your garden shed.

OK, got the video evidence m'lud

Taken in my sons bedroom as that is the furthest away from the roouter with the most walls in the way.

Forgot to mention as well, that is running with two other sky hd boxes connected via Wifi and both streaming data, two laptops connected via Wifi and a wireless media SAN running

hmm, why the 2 big black hdmi cable connected to the tv?

[ShySheep]

Eh? One is a black coax leading to an outside analogue aerial. How do you explain the wireless settings screen that shows the wireless connected and the screen that shows the wireless is active 0:08 & 0:13

ahh yeah cheers pal, well I stand corrected an apologise. you are in a very very very small minority, I know loads of people have tried these including a lad who owns his own sat shop and hes not been able to get them working correctly.

[Detector]

in fact, I just dug one out that I have and tested it, whatever I try it just times out, its flaky when picking up networks with them dropping off at any point.

can you tell us the following info

1: what network are you on/provider
2: what are your current security settings for your wifi

what make was your dongle and do you have photos of the packaging
it will help us identify why yours works and many others do not

thanks for your valuable contribution so far m8

Nope, could not access the profile or see the link above (had to use a sneaky workaround I know to see the link you posted):
