Openbox x5 vs Skybox f5

[archos47]

Hello all, I would like to know which of these two boxes is better regarding softcams and the rest, and in general overall.I have seen the X5 is looking pretty cheap but no idea perfomance ways.

Thanks in advance

When buying a box look at how much user support there is, the X5 is not well supported and uses a .bin format for channel list which means a hard job to come by a channel list unless you want to make one yourself, the F5 uses the same firmware as the F3/M3 and the channel lists that all openboxes/skyboxes use and is well supported so if you have problems then you will be able to find someone to help.

For this reason alone I would recommend the F5 over the X5.
