    Few questions on skybox

    Hello I hope someone has the answers to my questions about skybox f5 I would be very greatful... I am really intrested in buying a skybox but with them being quite expensive I want to be sure it will work for me.. I currently have sky with all the channels and sky multi room..

    But with getting a bill for ?120 this month I have cancelled all my channels..

    Shud I wait till all this has gone through then get a skybox or does it not really matter
    Plus I am still subscribed to sky multiroom and HD .. Can I get rid of these ? And the sky box will still work

    .. The other thing is I have wireless broadband .. Are the skybox f5 wifi dongles good? I don't want to have wires running all through the house .. Can you multi room these boxes ? I mainly watch tv in the bedroom.. But wud like one in the living room is it possible to buy two? Thank you

    All you need is a dish + LNB. Using a Skybox has nothing whatsoever to do with your Sky+ subs.

    You can start using your Skybox as soon as you get it, whether you are still subscribed to Sky or not, and you don't need to continue subscribing to multi-room or HD.

    I have never tried the wireless dongles myself, but a lot of users say that they are not very reliable. Homeplugs (powerline adapters) would probably be better.

    You can use 2 boxes if you want. You might need to check with your gift supplier if you want to use both boxes at the same time, but if you will only be using one box at a time, then there should be no problems.

    Edit...just re-read your post. When you say "Plus I am still subscribed to sky multiroom and HD .. Can I get rid of these ? And the sky box will still work", do you mean that you want to continue using your official Sky box as well as the F5?
