[sb18180]

cause dont want to break any forum rules by putting a link for another site on the forum. thats why.

[thegoat]

can you pm me too thanks.

[Shady]

dont then, just tell people what to google for, (unless its your site), we dont link to other forums, telling people where to get good deals from is actively encouraged

[sb18180]

no its not my site i have used them a few times and always had good service from them and its the cheapest i can find in the uk for single boxes. they are kastrad.co.uk also having x6 in soon linux box should be fun for the newbies lol watch the help requests go bollistic then!
Anyone found any cheaper per single box?

[thegoat]

They are nill stock on the F5, whats the openbox like as they have them in stock

[mdt]

why dont all you newbies get yourself a half decent box like a dm800hdse(clone) or tm5402hd for ?130 and at least future proof yourself a bit and try the hobby for what it is with a cheap 80cm motorised dish pack for ?120 and fit it yourself. the s*ybox F3 or F5 is ok as a second room box for 28.2e or whatever as there are going to be alot of "freesat boxs" when the door closes eventually. at least if you get a motorised dish you can always get fta/softcam/b.i.s.s. without a gift in sight... who no,s you might even like it,regards mdt

Did one of these for a mate a few weeks ago and they are a glorified dm500s the hd was terrible compared to my dm800.
You get what you pay for im afraid.

i second that or a nice vu ultimo with 120cm motorised dish. but not all are that motivated or intrested in the hobby and something like an f5 is cheap and a great starter box and the picture quality is brill at 1080p for the price. you would probly have to pay more for a freesat hd box.

Stay well clear of the X5 its got nothing in common with the F5,F4,F3,M3 or X3.

I havent a clue what ver my box is, but its working sweet and hasnt let me down yet. I aint whingng about nothing.

I paid about ?50 total for it of a amazon and its saved me a fortune already.

I think its the Skybox F3. Yip thats it, the F3 and it hasnt failed me. I have failed it more haha....

Still only ?44.99 of a m a z o n.

Just google Skybox F3 1080p HD PVR and away ya go. Full ch line-up and HD package.

FS lads, what dyas want for ?50 now a days eh?

[saheel]

thanks sb18180 for the useful info. just bought 1 of kastrad for ?43.99 + ?4.45(delivery) = ?48.44

Im a noob... but why cant we use a motorised dish with the skybox f5... cant the f5 get fta/softcam/b.i.s.s (no idea what softcam or b.i.s.s is lol)... I want the f5 to get started... then a DIY motorized dish (no idea how to do the wiring) then a better box

It can do motorised and also Softcams, what lets it down is the 5000 channel memory capacity there is just not enough, 5000 would be filled on just 5 satellites.

For an Extra few quid well ?80 to put it mildly you can get a Blade or a 5402 with 10,000 CHannel memory full 7 day EPG and a BISS and softcam memory system that is easy maintainable

lmaoo 5000 channels seems like a lot to me... i guess I have no idea how much I can pick up.... can any anime channels be picked up from the UK?

5000 in the sat world is peanuts you have over a 1000 on 28.2? east over 1600 on 13? east over 1200 on 19.2? east you can see where i am going here.

What sort of channels do you want to view as a main source

[rugito]

aaah i dont even know what channels I can get.... an anime channel would be nice though.... there must be one somewhere

I am possibly being stupid but what do you mean by anime channel because to me that either means Animation Cartoon Kids channel or the Japanese Manga style material, Like i said i may be being stupid

Japanese (Japanese style) Animated cartoons i.e. one piece, naruto, code geass etc

edit: im guessing most of the content will be in foreign languages... is there options for english subs???

You are correct and more than likely dubbed into a foreign language with no english subtitles, I have see the Odd Manga style film shown on a few Arabic channels that keep the original Jap or english dubbed audio and then overlay there own subtitles, as i say only on the Odd ocassion

[rugito]

hmmm can you get animax from the UK? and what language is it dubbed in?

Those satellites listed with the channel you asked about are easily receivable in the UK with either a fixed dish for the satellite of choice or a motorised dish, Dish size is dependant on your location of course
