    You would be far better off with a Skybox F3 for ?50 miles more support on here for them compared to the ferguson

      Not sure thats a valid reason to dismiss the Ferguson.

      Just coz there isn't support on here, doesn't mean it's poorly supported.

      Just like Open/Sky boxes are poorly supported on some fora, doesn't mean support is poor in general...

        The original 102 has been around a couple of years and thats what i based my answer on, Sadly lacklustre in the support side of things

          Fair enough, but the current models seem to be reasonably supported.

          I wouldn't buy either personally (purely because they're closed source), but if i was in the market for a closed source box i would certainly consider the Ferguson over open/sky boxes, mainly because of the added extras like YT and has a web interface etc.

          But we all have different needs/want's from boxes.

            I set one up for a mate of mine he's very happy with it cccam very stable sofar and the support is better then the technomate boxes plus the price is nice for what it can do.
            Nice budget box.
            I heard if you go for the wifi models that the drivers for the wifi dongle's aren't great and loose connection a lot.

              I would not go so far to say it has better support than the Technomates, the term i used was lacklustre as in minimal.

                Is it possible to stream content via webinterface

                I know they can use android app as a remote. Would there be any chance of streaming via webinterface or through lan?
