    advice on new updated skybox

    Hi guys

    I have the old f3 but Im getting a newer version for another room but which ones that are out now that allow you to receive good epg and recording to a usb stick?

    Seem to be a few new boxes since I last got one 😄

      Next Logical Upgrade a Linux Receiver something like the TM-Nano-SE easy to flash and setup for a beginner with its on screen Image flashing prompts, The Vu Zero is around the same price bracket

      Both will give you auto channel updates, Auto EPG 7 days, Recording to USB stick or external hard Drive

      Retail for both around ?99

        Thanks for that digicon.......I was thinking of spending around ?50 for a box but not really been down the other box route wat you suggested?

        So I take it they are more better than the skybox as I find them to be slow at times . Which version do you recommend of

          Both of the ones i mentioned run the same chipset so perform exactly the same the only real difference is the Vu Zero is all Plastic so to me feels a bit cheap the Nano-SE is metal cased with a Brushed aluminium front.

          The Zero's PSU is incorporated into a 2 pin plug so you need a 3 pin adaptor and the lead is short, The Nano SE has a laptop style adaptor psu with a figure 8 lead and is a lot longer just in case you need it.

          Vu Zero can run Blackhole images the Nano-Se cannot thats about it

              Plenty of online e-tailors have them and Technomate have there own Online shop as well but at the end of the day the choice is purely yours
