That link doesnt bring up anything. Would this firmware also apply to an Openbox V5S as ive heard its the same box as a Skybox f5S with just a name change?

Yes, I put the firmware downloaded from the skybox website on to my Openbox v5s. One bizarre outcome of doing this is your boot screen will change to a skybox logo, other then that the firmware fixes what it was released for.

Is the epg any different as current firmware doesn't give 5 days epg like F5s

I have the latest 4/12/2014 firmware from skybox.cc installed on my openbox v5s and the 7 epg works fine.

So what are the new features of this firmware update? Does it fix the auto update feature of XMLTV EPG ?

No one knows, as there`s no description on the download page to what it fixes. However, one thing it doesn't fix is the auto update feature of the epg.

One thing I should say is that the 7 day epg works fine and can be manual updated via the red button or if the update setting is reset then if you put the box into standby it will auto update, but if you remove the power, auto update won`t work.
