Sky viewing card with Skybox F5s...

[mitchd2100]

As the title says, I am wondering if I can use my viewing card that is in my Sky+HD box at the moment in my Skybox F5s???

Its a simple question hopefully with a simple answer...

Well I've put my Sky+HD viewing card into my F5S on 2 previous occasions to check problems with a certain channel and it's worked flawlessly each time. Admittedly, it was only used for a few minutes on each occasion.

It does work and if you don't record on the Sky HD box then picture quality from the F5 is better, user interface however isn't anywhere near as good so its up to the user in the end.

I've got an expired Sky card which still allows viewing on a few FTV channels such as Motors TV, Sony TV, Liverpool FC etc.

I've tried this card in a number of different Skyboxes/Openboxes & it's worked every time.
