im using the 1 that came with the box it only has skybox wifi printed on it its working great and im using vermins super hub and there not the best for there wifi and its a good 35/40 ft upstairs from my super hub
i also like how the firmware that i used puts the channel list and names the fav groups also unlike the old openbox s10/11s that had to manually put in.
i have tried loads of boxes and for ppl just starting out and dont want to spend to much i would say u cant get a better hd box for the price £45/£60 depends if ppl want the wifi dongle with it or not the only thing that is up with it is no epg guide just whats on and whats next but to me a great small box for the bedroom/spare room just the thing for running away from the wife and kids when footy is on llf

if you want to use the box to get other chans then yes, for FTA chans etc, then no, a min speed of about 1 to 2 megs will do, dont forget you will be using your internet while the box is working, so if your downloading big files at the same time it may cause an issue

I have one of this boxes that would not connect to the server no mater what I do. It connected once and then went off. I have done everything and thinking of flashing it with a null modem cable but can not find the firmware an instructions for that.
Help needed please.

To load firmware on the F3/F5 you just place the image on a USB stick plug this into the box and select the USB menu and Upload select which file you want by pressing left or right in you case choose the image file tab and then press ok to flash
Enter ccam menu - Menu Network Local Settings and Press 6666
Recover the box from a bad flash
http://www.bradforddealer.com/download/..._Backup.rarJust unzip the file, Open the folder, then open EromUpgrade.exe.
Make sure box is switched off, then select your port, select your firmware image and tick the checkbox for include bootloader.
Press next, then switch on your box and follow the on screen procedures

Thanks Mickah
The box flashes OK but same problem. Not connecting to server. I was trying to flash using the EromUgrade just incase but link is broken or something. Can you resend the link again please? I notice the yellow light on the network port is not flashing always.
Not sure if this means anything. I have setup quite a few of these but this ine is really heady.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mickah, I am new to these boxes and planning to buy two F5 boxes to be used in different rooms on a switch distribution. Please guide if F5 can be programmed the same way?
