sky box f5

[a40custom]

has anyone got one of these
i got a sky box 5 today and have just finished setting it up as i could not do it earlier as my son luke was watching tv
it is a free to view box but has been tweaked so i can get all the sky channels in hd / 3d / all sport / movies ect all streamed through the internet so no more paying sky .
if it works ok i might get another for the study/pc room.
this is the same as whats on ebay with a free gift...

Hi Steve,

How much was the box  Sounds interesting if the numbers stack up.

What kind of broadband speed do you need for it to work properly  

Cheers.

update on this

found that some of the channels wont work so i looked into this and found a "openbox fix "on ebay pluged it in and now have ALL SKY SPORT AND MOVIES ALSO ALL SKY CHANNELS all in HD and 3D so well worth getting one in my opinion...
will get my dish aligned and maybe not need the fix link...will keep you posted


and i have now cancelled my payment to sky....

russ not sure about internet speed as i am on bt fibre and have a down load speed just over 70mb.

Hi Steve,

I was curious about this as my internet speed is not that great, we are still on overhead cables and that's for the electric aswell as the phone.

Cheers.
