Another Which Box Thread

Hi

I want to buy a sat box as a gift for somebody I know

Looked at the skybox f3, this does basically what I want.

HD box with PVR function, was going to add a USB hard drive sort out a 1-3 month sub
so they can hook it up and watch it and record programs when they want to.

and that was roughly my budget, nice little setup for about £100.
(All running off an old skydish)

But, I heard the f3 doesn't have a 7 day EPG for a UK package, which sort of
ruins the PVR function in my opinion.

Could someone confirm if this is true and / or recommend a box
which has all of the above for a similar budget.

Thanks for any advise

Got f3 and it does NOT have 7 day epg only current and next progs listed. Think most of the budget boxes are like this.
 
Thanks for the reply, I found that out
believe all budget boxes are the same.

Do you just put Start / End times Channel Number / Date etc

Like recording on video if you want to record a program, like say
match of the day on Sat night ?
 
On f3 put a date start time and duration and you can scroll through channels to select also gives option of once or daily. Very similar to old video days.
