    which box yo upgrade to from f5s?

    Needs to be less than ?100
    Needs to support 7 day UK EPG
    Needs to be able to record without lag

    Upgrading from skybox f5s because xmltv EPG is no longer working and the satellite EPG is terrible and it lags when recording.

    Thanks

      I am also looking to upgrade, but any help on pointing towards a decent box would be appreciated, the "Golden interstar Lx2" seems to be around the ?150 mark......

      Any, others that are worth looking into???

                    Loads on the market, you will just have to make your decision by doing some research on them. Ebay is a good place to start, you might even get a good second hand one cheap.

                      Sorry to jump this thread but am in a similar situation, I have a cheap openbox x5 at the moment it was my first box but looking to upgrade now to something that will give me and the (mrs more importantly) a similar experience to the box you get from sky, looking to be able to do series link, have a really good EPG, and be able to record watch another channel etc, the box I have now has a poor EPG it doesn't even tell you what's on the channel unless you click on it first, so looking for a better experience. Thanks.

                          Would not touch one with a barge pole as they could be another flash in the pan like so many other so called Android based receivers, if you want something similar then have a look at the wetek play it has swappable tuners for sat and cable and is both a hybrid Android so will do all of the above with Official support from Openelec on Kodi. Have not tried one myself but from all the buzz going around if you want a Kodi/android box this is the one to have. Although retails for around ?110

                            does the wetec play allow you to install emulators like neogeo or fba retroarch for android?

                            Still think the zgemma S2 and H1/2 look better value for what yo get

                              No Idea sorry about that all i know is for around ?110 on the wetek the satellite version is a twin tuner, but yes bang for buck its hard to beat the Zgemma's
