Hi guys, currently have 2 Skybox F3s and 2 Vu Duos and they are all spot on and couldnt be happier with them

Was just looking on Pc world and seen a 2tb NAS for ?80 and thought this could be an awesome addition to my set up. Is it posisble for all boxes to be linked up to this NAS over my LAN in order to record programmes (at same time etc,) and watch programmes from it??

if they do, then this is an absolute must purchase

One last thing, has anyone used the Skybox F4 and have it working with GPRS on uk networks (How does it work??) and does the skybox M3 have built in wireless or is an adapter needed?

Openbox/Skybox can only record to USB device, they cant record to a network device, and they can only read media from a connected USB device..

It seems many people in UK are having success with gprs on the F4

Skybox M3 uses a wifi dongle same as F3, which is daft really because using it then prevents recording..
