Confused which box??

[PaulR32]

Ok so i'm a total newbie to all this. i've been looking at skybox f5 but not really sure if it's the right thing to by, obviously other boxes are on the market but i was looking for something for a newbie, good value for money and ease of use would the skybox be the right one or does anyone have any other suggestions.

Thanks
Paul

Letting us know what your budget for the box will be can give you an idea of what is available.

I was only looking at the skybox f5 because it's about ?50 but don't mind spending a bit more if its worth the extra money.

Another Question then are you sticking to a Fixed dish or Multi LNB or even Motorised

[PaulR32]

I currently have sky at the moment so it would just be a standard sky dish and lnb

Gigablue 800 se is pretty good at ?140, about the same price as a dm800 clone from china.. If you want a twiin tuner then the vu+ solo2 is a beast of a box, but costs around ?300.
Skybox is ok for watching telly, but that's about it. Only now and next epg and not much in the way of plugins.
