OT, sky f5 box

Fri May 30, 2014 11:53 am

I own an android box and it's fine but I I have heard of these Sky F5 boxes. Does anyone know if they are any good and what they are capable of receiving.

I've got one and it the best thing ever - ALL sky channels with HD and BT sports! Make sure you find someone with a good server though or sometimes you get the "scrambled" message coming up now and again.

Do you need a satellite dish for these to work? Or do they run through an internet connection? Cheers

£40 for the box and £40 quid sub for the year. Yes it could get shut down at any time Craig but if you do your research you should be ok, Been with mine for about a year and a half.

I've got 3 of them and HD channels already started going as SKy have rolled out new channel encryption. SD channels will be next but who knows when. I think you've caught on a bit too late but if you do decide to switch do some research CS-Kings is a good forum.
