Best Skybox/Openbox

[tiamat tiger]

Hello all I have a V5s and want to get a similar box for my lad , I know you can get boxes that don't need to be connected to a dish although he has a dish that isn't the problem I just wondered what boxes people prefer , preferable one that has wifi , thanks

Hi i would recommend a MediaLink Black Panther HD for around 80 pounds. Has IPTV with wifi/ethernet connection. Be aware you get loads of adult channels as well as sports/movies etc with this box.

Hi
just a little input I find wifi a bit hit and miss on theses kind of boxes depending where the box is in relation to the router power plugs work loads better

only thing he would need to go over 2 doors with an Ethernet so that's why I wanted to go down the wifi route

Hi It also depends on your broadband provider as speeds can vary from supplier to supplier. In my opinion ethernet cables are usually the best as they are directly connected to each other. The second best option is the home plugs or TP link. I use this option to get signal from router downstairs to my box upstairs and usually it works really good.
