F5 OR F5S

[casper17]

Hi folks,

Thinking about buying a box and was just wondering what is the difference between the f5 and f5s. I have read over a couple of early posts regarding the difference however these were written when the f5s was due to come out with no affirmative confirmation on the difference.

Does the f5s eliminate the need for wireless power adapters when carrying out multi room use? or is the difference just more aesthetics?

Thanks

I havent used my F5S box wirelessly as i heard its unreliable, So you will still need internet connection either hard wired or by using the power adaptors.

If you wish to use multi-room off the same box, you will need a RF Modulator as it has no RF output like the proper sky box. To do this, you run a scart lead from the box to the RF modulator, then i use a powered booster to feed 2 other TV's via RF cable and magic eye's. Bear in mind you only get RF quality at best, no HD on the other TV's
