What is the difference between F3 and the M3

[davebigler]

Hi,
As your probably already aware that im new to all of this lark. I will be buying a skybox tomorrow but i do not know what the difference between the M3 and F3 as i have the option to choose between both for the same price.

Cheers for your help

The F3 has a USB port on the front of the box, whilst on the M3 the USB port is on the back of the box.

Also, on the F3 the power supply is built into the box............whilst on the M3 it has is an External Power Supply and the M3 is also smaller then then F3. (mainly because it does not have to house the power supply)

Same box just a different layout.

Also, depending where you buy it, the M3 can also come supplied with an optional external IR receiver, which allows you to hide the M3 inside a cabinet, behind cupboard door..
