    Questions Before Buying

    Afternoon all. I'm going to buy an OPENBO v8s. Is Amazon the place I should be looking?





    Will this Wi-Fi Antenna Adapter save me having to run an ethernet cable to the box from my router?





    And finally, am I better off buying a box with a subscription or buying the 'gift' elsewhere?

    All help appreciated, thank you.

    Openbox v8s is cheaper on the bay, v8s WiFi is also cheaper on the bay, in fact a quick search shows there's a combo deal v8s & WiFi adaptor for ?39.99

    As to you last question 'g**t' talk isn't allowed on the forum, against forum rules, however, openboxes 'with' are notoriously prone to end early.

          Yes good deals on ebay i got my 5s on there over 2 years ago and its been great..Never misses a beat and sooooo easy to use. Don't take any notice of the haters on here who call them rubbish as for the money there is nothing better.

            Total agree, openbox are cheap and nasty tat, but as a starter box there is nothing better.

              Hello bay is your cheapest option. Just got one my self and it's ok. Easy set up and great cheap option. Wi if dongle can be a bit tricky I swap mine for a couple of home plugs for about ?20 a lot better now.
