Basic Skybox F3 question

Hi all

I am ready to buy a skybox, I had some questions I could not find the answers to.

I would really appreciate someone's help with these q's:

1. I have an existing Sky dish with a single LNB, will that mean I can't get HD? Can I use the box with a single wired connection from my dish?

2. Which is best to buy, F3 or F5? I'm looking for reliability.

Thanks in advance!

1/ single lnb is fine even with hd

2/ both very simular but f3 has usb port in the front f5 at the back both use same firmware/channel lists ect
f3s have clones/copies which can be bricked with official firmware f5s dont as of yet!
both will need a cline to view all channels.

Hi mate, i am no expert on this box as i have only had mine a short while, anyway your dish is fine for sly channels in hd, as long as you have a HD tv that is, and you only need a single connection, i have the F3 and its a good box, don't know about reliability as its a bit new, hope that helps. think others know the box better than me.
