hi all i'm thinking of going the satellite way as ive always done cable but not much good anymore,i don't really no much about it tho. ive got a dish on the wall from when i had sky hd(am i rite thinking i can use it?).ive been looking at the skybox f3 as ive read its one of the easiest to setup for newbies lol, ive seen one a few a fleebay starting from £50ish box on its own to £129 with 12months gift ready to use and £50 a yr after that. hrmm the only thing i was woundering is wud it be cheaper to buy 1 and do all myself but i don't no where to look for a c**dsharing server and files.

so if anybody cud point me the rite way by PM that wud be great.

thanks u.s
 
hey buddy ill share my experiance with you!......... like yourself ive just got into the world of satellite this past weekend, think i got a good deal as i got everything including my first dish for £140 and have the skybox f3, firstly you can use your old dish thats not a problem. The skybox f3 isnt a bad box(been using it for a few days now)but it does have its drawbacks, the remote seems like its batterys are low as can be a bit of a pain to change channel,the sound on hd/standard channels differs slightly,picture on screen is good and with tweeking hd channels look great! By far the worst thing is the lack of epg as you only get whats on and the next programe but to be fair for the money you pay its perfect!
If you have a bit more cash to spend i would look into getting a vu+ solo which has full epg! anyway hope this helps!
 
i love my f3 , remote on mine is good and i love the media player , so simple to use and plays everything ive threw at it, picture on mine again good and its very easy to do your own channel list , i have 3 of the f3`s
