Yes you can get channels but its a very basic and limited box.

hi the skybox f3 is very good easy to use hd usb update for 49 pounds its better than dream box crap hope this helps

better than a dreambox ? not a chance... Its cheap and ok as a second box, but id spend a bit more and get something a little better if youre using it as your main receiver and im sure plenty on here will agree.

No epg is a huge negative if you plan to use it as you're main box.

what other boxes is there with hd but not to dear:cobblers:

There's loads to choose from, depends how much you wanna spend, is a full EPG important to you, do you want to be able to record one channel whilst watching another?

Vu Solo or Vu Duo for the extra on top, as u can record like the sky+ box 2 at the same time, dual tuners on the duo.

I am looking at the http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/images/styles/digital/misc/subscribed.gif Cloud ibox , it's looking a good option & at a nice low price.. - http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f205/cloud-ibox-unbranded-solo-clone-309754/
