    Skybox F5 Quick Questions

    Hey

    Thinking about upgrading from M3 to F5...

    I just wanted to ask, whats the reviews like on the F5s?

    would it use the same/different channel list format as M3?
    would the plugins be any good? youtube didnt work last time
    is it slow/fast switching channels as compared to the M3?
    would it run well on wifi?
    does it play divx from usb?

    Thanks!!

    F3 M3 F5 all take the same firmware so a bit of a side move really.

          Hi. I'm very new so take what I say with a pinch of salt. I have thge Skybox F5. It is easy to use. I find the menu text and channel list very hard to read from about 5 metres away. I dont know if this is my TV or something else. I use wifi to connect to the internet. It has worked as it should. Youtube does not work on my F5. I hope this helps a tiny bit.

                  I bought an F3 about a month since and neither YouTube or You ~~~~ worked and there were also a number of display issues, that was with the Oct 2012 firmware.

                  I installed the latest factory firmware issued last week and it fixed all the issues including YouTube

                  As mentioned the same firmware will work for the F5
