    USB doubled

    If i get a 2 into 1 USB cable can my Skybox F5 handle a wifi ariel and a USB memory stick at the same time?

      No the ali chip will only handle one thing on usb, if you want to use usb port for usb stick or hard drive you will need to go wired or get home plugs.

          I tried this a few weeks ago with a USB hub..powered from the USB itself and only recognised 1 device at a time...but not convinced it was the F5 at fault as the Hub didn't run the external hard drives i have that work fine when connected directly to the F5...maybe an externally powered Hub would have better luck

              I advise you that the F5 can only recognise one device on the usb port but you think it is the fault of the usb hub easy enough to test by connecting the hub to your pc and see jow many device you can connect now.
