Sky HD

[Lyrrad]

What box is best for this. 12 month sub ended today with them. 500s is easy way to go, and have all required, but HD and HDMI would be nice if just as easy and reliable.

I'm not interested in anything further than package I've been on for the time being, so abilty to mess with the box further is not top of my requirements.

500s wont give you hd channels; for hd cheapest option would be an openbox

[Lyrrad]

Yeah I know 500s won't. I've sent pm. I hope you don't mind

[Shady]

have you? why? what box discussions can be had freely in here

[Lyrrad]

Not to worry.


I assume you mean Openbox s9. What does the Drembox 800hd give me that the S9 can't

[Manic01]

Ones linux

and very expensive - if original

[Lyrrad]

If I just want Sky channels is the Openbox the way to go

[Manic01]

If you have a share from someone then yes openbox will do it.

[Lyrrad]

Not very impressed with poor EPG reports, but for ?80 it seems value.

I think I might give it a go.

Sorry to be clueless, but if I want 2 boxes is that 2 shares, or are there other choices for me

[Manic01]

you need a share that will reshare or 2 shares.
Cannot go any further with this chat sorry.
Personally if you are using a payserver I wouldnt bother.

I went for DM800 HD after the eurovoxes went dead and it's been easy to set up

2 lines or just use same line on both but not at same time.

Yeah the epg sucks balls. I'm gonna get a vu+ duo. Move the openbox to another room.
