    Newbie help

    Hello, I'm a complete noob with skyboxes and would like some help if possible. A few friends of mine have them and I would like to get one myself to replace my existing expensive sky. They had a guy they know come and install it etc however I would like to do it myself, having ordered a skybox f3 off ebay. So basically my question is this, what exactly do i need to do in order to set it up when it arrives? I.e. in what way do I connect it to the satellite etc?
    I have updated my friends channel list for him using AJs list, that is the extent of my experience with the box but I'm relatively good with computers etc so I'm hoping it won't be a problem.
    Or if you could perhaps point me to a very good and thorough tutorial that's already been published that would be great.
    Also if you know of a page that explains how the box works etc that would be great as obviously I would then understand what I have better and will hopefully no longer be a 'noob'.

    Thank you very much in advance as now reading over this I have asked an awful lot of you so sorry in advance also!

      hey thanks for the reply the stickys are more to do with channel lists etc. Shady's guide says openbox does that apply to skybox (f3) ? I'm probably showing my ignorance here haha

          thanks mate, just trying to get everything clear before it arrives. I realise Clines aren't to be discussed here but just wondering if a "gift" i have seen mentioned is the same thing as a Cline. thanks
