hello all very intrested in getting a sky box f5 where can i get one ive looked on eba ive seen them for £50 what will i have to do to get it up and running for the fotty any help would be gr8

What's eba? Is that a welsh eBay ? and what is fotty? Also are you friends with Tony the Tiger? And finally do you hang monkeys?

I only ask because I appear to have missed your introduction in the relevant section, I dare say you received a PM (That's Private Message or to you maybe Privat Massage ??) with the instructions.

I am a fellow North-East cast off, hopefully you will find your answers and we can help out.

Advice I can give you on an F5:

Grab one from eBay for the price you have ssen - It is how I and most others start.
KEEP AWAY from the WIFI Dongle.. It just will not work.

On it's own the F5 will, after putting some files on, give you Freesat HD channels, maybe a few more.
If you wish to do anything else with it, then in time I am sure it will all become clear but one thing I must advise is that you are going to need it plugged into your home network, either direct to the Router or into a Home Plug. Again, the WIFI Dongles just do not work so even if it is free with the box it is a waste and needs throwing in the bin.

ok thanks goldberg ive looked on EBAY really want it for the sky sports for the FOOTY lol seen some with gifts which mean nothing to me but i will look about cant post no more today as more than 6 times in first 24hrs is a ban but again thanks for the help

[Goldberg]

No problem, just a word of advice - do not buy with a gift from an auction site.. Your gift will most likely be reluctantly taken away from you..
Patience is key here... Grab your box, it will take a few days to arrive and then see what the future holds.

Also do not post in the public forums about any "proposed gift" or accessing the sports channels with this equipment.

That will also result in a ban!!

[BigBrand]

would I be right or worng in asking.I read some where that you can download an EPG onto a skybox f5s is this true ?

You'd be right to view your PM and not only come here to leech information!

[greens117]

Is it me, or every fucker wants one of these? Getting like the old Dbox!

[Detector]

they are wanting these and a car radio code

just wanted to add something: whatever you do - DO NOT buy your subs from ebay or gumtree, they have been reported as turning the subs off after a month or less.

also we do not allow any links or anything else regarding subs, the above was a warning to help people stop getting ripped off.


Ebay is fine for the skyboxes themselves - I only use one ebay supplier for the boxes which are genuine skyboxes and not clones.

Please do not post on the forum asking for subs or links to subs - this is not allowed.

Det can you pm me the ebay supplier for the boxes?
