How anybody can possibly consider ripping-off Sky and the lovely murdochs is beyond me

Only owns 49% don't they?
Not sure why everyone likes breaking the law so much though

Just wondering it anyone could help me out here. Just picked up a new skybox f5 from a mate ... Brand new out the box, trying to install it and for some reason can't get passed the password. Don't know if it's a default password or what but can't get passed it.
Also, am I right in thinking you can run the box off just wifi if there isn't a satellite?
Cheers

Go on one of the forums for the skybox like tech kings you might get info there,if i think what you intend doing you will need internet and a dish...try 0000 for the password...

Had one without the "gift" I couldn't work out, broke down and ordered one from :

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008ZYHITE/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Oalnsb1YHYGMZ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008ZYHITE/r ... nsb1YHYGMZ</a>

Went with the "cheap dreamboxes" seller , arrived within 24 hours of order , on a Sunday actually and has been working great ever since.

Just actually ordered a motorised dish for it to try and get the other euro satellites but don't know if the gift it comes with will cover that.

The "gift" it comes with is a just a config file with details and a channel list for their card sharing server.

I've been looking into buying one of these also, loads of good info here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.techkings.org/skybox-f3-f5-f6/41018-skybox-f3-set-up-guide-tutorial.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.techkings.org/skybox-f3-f5-f ... orial.html</a> . I just need find someone who can provide a decent c-line.

So Sky aren't robbing their subscribers on a daily basis? take them to the cleaners...

Not really - they offer something that you are not required to buy if you think it is too expensive?

Anyway - what are the chances of one of these boxes being released with a hard drive so you can record? Or are there any already?

 

[SiMCFC]

Loads of decent boxes about mate, i've got a Vu Ultimo, 3 tuner jobby so have motorised dish, normal sky dish at 28.2 with two feeds so it acts like sky+

A Vu Duo is good enough with a twin tuner so just like Sky+ or if you ant bothered about recording and watching seperate things a Vu Uno is a really good single tuner box, all with hard drive compatability and much more.

 

[Simon Le Tom]

Can someone PM if anyone offers these kinds of services?!

 

[vulcan]

Also looking to get one. Anyone offering this service please PM.

What is the difference between one of these and a xbmc box?

Someone more savvy on this will put you right,but as far as i know you dont need a sky dish for xbmc or android box which they are also known as...

That's right you can put xbmc on a PC or laptop I have even got it on my phone.if you want to try it Google xbmchub and there are guides on how to do it.as for the skybox they play live Chanel's as they are on whereas xbmc is more on demand apart from football.

With the f5 box do you get 3 o'clock kick offs as well as all the normal uk sky channels?

With the standard set-up you only get the Setanta Ireland 3.00pm kick-off - you need a motorised dish & probably a more powerful box to get the Sky Italia & other foreign channels.

these boxs only use the internet to decode the signal, so you are not streaming all that data.

loads of difference but as far as quality goes thats the most important.<br /><br />-- Mon Jan 06, 2014 10:42 am --<br /><br />

I thought the Sky UK dishes were pointed at a specific satellite & the Arab/Italian/East European channels were on a different satellite hence the need for a motorised dish and a more powerful box to power the motor on the dish?
