SkyBox F5 and Sky HD box

[metaljay]

Hi,

Im a paying sky HD customer and have all the packages (3D, Sports, Movies etc), im trying to install the skybox as another box to view different channels in another room (like what sky charge ?15 amonth for multi room)

As i already have the Sky dish setup correctly, i would have thought it was easy to use this F5 box, but im already lost.

I bought it preloaded with TV listings, but im aware i still need to add my sky card settings but thats it?

I have the box connected via ethernet, do i need to add a coax as well?

I've read the rules and i think i understand what you mean about not talking about card sharing, but im unsure if this is what im asking?

i was hoping it was as simple as dumping my existing sky HD card and inputting the settings into this SkyBox F5...but theres no card port?

Think theres a card port on the side on the F5 Andy.

Nothing will happen because the card software will not accept those boxes. Back to the drawing board.

Then what do i do haha?
Everything ive read talks about CCcam settings, but these are for people whom dont already have a Sky account i imagine?

anyone? I was hoping this was easy?

What do most people do?
