        Newer but more issues. Stick with F3, does the job. What links do you need?

            F3 are best .You can pick them up for around ?50 from a eBay seller in Bradford, with all the software and images loaded up.All you need to do is put your ...................... and you are away.F3 are much easier to setup and reliable. I have bought about a dozen for my friends and never had problem with one so far

                  if you search ebay you will find a guy doing the f5 in bradford! i just did and found this im sure if you had looked you would have found it too.its too easy to ask for someone to do the work for you but in this hobby you have to be able to do some things for yourself. if even finding a seller on ebay is not within your skillset i doubt owning one of these boxes is going to be an easy journey for you.

                  no offence but this hobby does not run itself, if the channels change you will need to know how to sort that out, will you just ask on here for that info? or will you learn the basics in advance then the forum doesnt have to get cluttered up with the same old questions over and over when they move some of the channels again, and they do regular as clockwork.

                      Bloody hell wish I never asked!! I was literally referring to a link to the exact person and to be fair found someone from Bradford on eBay myself but how was I to know that's the person the poster was referring to? Don't take it u can guarantee there's one person on ebay from Bradford that sells these boxes?

                      You basically called me ignorant but that's okay, guess you one to avoid when looking for help.

                      Thanks for the link btw.

                        my apologies if it came across i was calling you ignorant... wasnt my intention, i see on many forums people asking similar questions and in most cases we google the answer then copy and paste it . reseacrh is the key and google is your friend. once again my apologies, feel free to publicly whip me.

                          O the irony.
                          don't take it personally mate, it gets a bit tedious especially in this section answering the same questions day after day where most peeps don't even have the decency to use the thanks button , when all the info has been posted many times before, to be fair maybe not the Bradford fella thing .
                          It may look harsh if your just passing thru but the guys who give up there free time day after day for free an get no thanks get a bit annoyed from time to time
