    Neither, both rubbish, but if my budget dictated then it would be a v8s as it's newer, have you got a box at the moment?

    I have been using a v8s box for nearly a year now and have had no problem whatsoever.I don't understand when I read others say they are a waste of money.

    If you just want a box for viewing programmes on the v8s is great value for very little money

    Because they're limited in functionality.

    If you want a decent box go for zgemma only around 60ish

    for not much more money you could get an Enigma2 Amiko Alien box....
    Nothing wrong with the Skybox's but there are super basic....F5s is 2 odd years old now, V8 is better but only just....i started out with the F5 then F5s then Amiko...Amiko is harder to setup but the end results and the lack of a need to do updates manually is worth it.

    Had the Skybox F5s for almost two years and it has worked perfectly for me with no problems whatsoever.

    They work yes but that's not what we're getting at. We are saying they are basic
