Difference between Skybox F5s and openbox/libertview v5s?

[jay876]

Hi Guys,

I was a user of the skybox f5s until recently as mine has become faulty, I was looking to buy another one but stumbled across people who are selling these openbox v5s' and libertview claiming that they are the same just with another name and the price is cheaper now. I want to be sure if they are actually the same for instance does the firmware still update from skybox.cc and are the menu and programme layout the same and the features such as 7 day epg?

Cheers

Jay

Only difference I can think of are;
1. Openbox/libertview has ironman as default back_logo, skybox has skybox back_logo.
2. Will have either openbox, libertview or skybox embosed on the box.
3. Libertview packaging has qr code to help spot clones.

Everything else the same, ie EPG, firmware and menus

Just want to add that my Skybox F5S has an Iron Man wallpaper applied to it

After actually using both a Skybox F5S and an Openbox V5S, apart from the background and start up splash screen, they pretty much are the same.

You can flash libertview with skybox.cc firmware no problems
