I have been using an Eagle Linux box for a little while.

I don't do anything exciting with it, just watch TV.

I am thinking of getting a HD box and have come across these SkyBoxes.

Can any of you please give me a basic difference between the range ?

PVR is nice to have but unless it actually works as advertised, I would probably pull the rest of my hair out.

Looking for a decent quality picture.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Paul

Just go for the latest model, which is the Openbox F5S.

Ah, bless them :)
I want to ditch Sky, hence the questions ;-)

If you are planning on using illegal card shares be advised Sky are slowly but surely tightening up their encryption. I think most of the HD channels are secure now.

briefly became LibertView.

That was so catchy, they soon reverted to the Openbox name.

I am not surpised it sounded more liker a Tampax company
