Hi

I am looking for an HD box that will allow me to use a wireless dongle for the Internet. Could anyone recommend the cheapest and best one Could be original or clone.

Seen skybox F3 which uses a wireless dongle for internet can pick them up for £50. Anybody had experience using this?

Very similar to the openbox, no epg but HD on it is decent. Youre not going to find anything cheaper than that mate.

should be able to use a Vonets USB WiFi Bridge with a cheapo 50 quid Openbox/skybox. I havent tested on a openbox, but have tested on DM800, VU DUO, DM 500 etc works fine so no reason why it shouldnt work on a Openbox.

yep i do not think you will get a box cheaper theres also openbox x3 i think similar to f3 but has scart bear in mind you have to buy the wireless usb module as well no idea of cost some sellers sell them as a package on the bay.
only thing that i might say would be a disadvantage is only one usb port at the front under the card flap so you would have to have tis open all the time with the usb wifi aerial plugged into there unless you did a mad digi home made conversion with the dremell some wire and the soldering kit plus two spliffs and 4 cans of stella

Ive been trying to get a F3 to work with a vonets bridge, just wont do it. taken the bridge out and put it in tm500 and it works ok, have tried three different F3s and three different images and two different wifi bridges

This is the only thing putting me off a skybox F3. Seems to be alot of known issues with wifi dongles and bridges not working. Looking on fleaby they are selling dongle compatible with F3. Have you tried one of these mate

A couple of members have AB cryptoboxes.

the AB cryptobox is rock solid with a wifi dongle got one in my kids bedroom. Rumor has it that the 28.2 epg will be working in the next firmware update.
