Skybox F5s Skybox help

[trucks79]

Hiya I am new to all this, I have seen on fleebay a skybox f5s box £50 and wanted to know what your thoughts are on this box, it says it is a PVR box and you can use a USB hard drive, I have a couple of questions

What size hard drive could I use ? for example will a 1TB work?
Also I have seen gift packs for sale also on fleebay, are these easy to set up on the box?

Also for the money or for less than £100 is the skybox the best value for money? as a starting box? once I get into it I would like to upgrade the box over time..

last question does anyone know the best place to buy gifts?

thanks people

hiya thanks for the quick reply.

ideally I was looking for a box that I can record 1 channel while watching another. also are these boxes easy to set up?

also are they anything like the old cable boxes where they keep going off?
