the smaller one you can put an external antenna to instead of the screw on.

WiFi bridge

Personally mate, I'd get a mains powered WiFi bridge instead of a USB adapter.
The downside is you need a mains socket for it, but the upside is you can use the ethernet port on the back of your box and keep the only USB free for PVR/backup

Something like this

Hope that helps.

the selling point of the f3/m3/x3/q3 is the usb wifi
other than that you are better off with an s10

, the markup the sellers are making on them wifi adaptors is crazy, calling them official when they're just basic cheapo adaptors, about 6 quids worth..

Google for Ralink RT5370

Sorry, dont take this personally (and no offence intended) but only an idiot would believe wifi adaptors are being solely & proprietary manufactured for Skybox receivers only, and only a fool would knowing pay the rediculous price markup to have the wifi adaptor come in a package with Skybox written on it..

If you are going to be using the PVR/timeshift function then stay away from the USB versions and go with an wifi bridge which uses the ethernet port as like it was said earlier, the major drawback to the F3 is only 1 USB outlet and as far as I know it won't recognize a hub either. Real pity.
