    HD won't work on Skybox F5

    Is there anyway to fix this or even replace the HD part? It seems to be a closed box, unlike the X3 that could be opened.

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    EDIT: Forgot to say it work's on Scart.

    I'm sure you have to go though the HDMI to receive HD....might be wrong tho

        Its on the main board so you'd have to replace the whole board.

          The HD channels will show using the red, white and yellow cables.

            You can't send HD via component cables red/white/yellow

              I must be colour blind.

              Openbox S6000 HD connected to TV with only Red, White and Yellow component cables and showing all HD channels.

              Does the same on the F4 and good quality picture.

                  So as not too confuse others i think you meant to say Composite and is therefore SD only Component is also an old system but does do HD

                    i had a maxdigital hd satbox connected by scart to old panny and looking at itv hd not the best but its possible.

                    is there a warranty on box?
