    F5s is better in my opinion with the sharp tuner inside, thats what i run and got all sly channels on.
    Thanks Ian

      cant beat the original f3 box. bulletproof and so easy to use. never ever had a prob with these and they are the only ones I deal with. great budget box.

            That is a big no! no! never buy any box with a gift, more then likely you will be back on forum within a month saying all of a sudden your channels are scrambled, better off just buying the box and then looking for a gift your self.

                If you do some reading anyone spending money on a box that only gets 28.2 you will be taking a big risk with your money and probably ending up with a freeview box at best, Andy.

                        i purchased mine just over 2 weeks ago with 12 months gift. its been spot on apart from the odd few hiccups. but yes i agree on the part with Andy, its best to do alot of reading and get to know how to troubleshoot/update/upgrade etc.

                          And to stop mentioning "12 month gift". We turn a blind eye from time to time, just about.

                            not always mate 14 month on a less expensive present (no micky take intended satsmo) & still going......same with 3 mates that bought the F3 box's at the same time
                            maybe the lucky ones (i know)....as they say spin the wheel & pick red or black then close your eye's...

                              I can only add what satsmo has pointed out here and i do hope its not what it appears to be, You gentlemen need to take a look at the Forum Rules again
