Hi Nano Is your Nbox one of the 'professionally redone' boxes from ebay by any chance? I was told by one of the sellers that these boxes are 'redone' in Poland - hence the fact that most of the adds are in Polish - and that's why there is only a 3 month warrantee with them. What is the...

Thanks Nano. I looked at those Nbox's on ebay and I think they were the modified ones as they were described as 'professionally redone with E2 installed.' The only thing I found that was a concern was that they only come with 3 months warrantee but other than that they look a great box for the...

I've noticed that the GM Spark and Fulan boxes that are around at the minute are also dual boot with Spark and E2 but apparently all these boxes (including Amiko) are from the Fulan stable in the first place. With them all around the same price (around £100) they would seem a good first HD...

I was all set to buy one of these boxes but not so sure now. Why do they put this 'timebomb' into the software? If I buy directly from an official supplier like Lavatronics surely it would not be a clone?

Thanks boys (I presume all boys) but you don't have to bicker on my behalf lol. I presume by E2 Heuvos you mean Enigma 2? How stable is this image though, does it need constant fiddling or re-installing etc? The Fulan box has a dual boot system with either Enigma 2 or Spark being able to be...

Thanks for your help guys. Shame about the Spiderbox as it would be a bargain at that price if I could definately fix it. I'm torn between just getting the F3 for a while and playing with that then upgrading or getting the more flexible Icecrypt from Maplins as I'm already eyeing up motorised...

Someone has offered me a Spiderbox 9900 HD for £50 and from what I've read about these boxes they're meant to be a really good unit. The only problem is it's showing an F100 fault on the screen which apprently is a common fault with these boxes and is usually a software issue. If it's just...

Wow, it all sounds a bit immoral and even scarey. Can you not pick up certain English subscription channels on foreign sats? I seem to remember a case last year involving a pub landlady who showed sky sports through a Greek satelitte.

So would I be right in assuming the physical CAM is actually in the form of a card like a sky viewing card for example? I've heard of things like Oscam and Irideto. How about the software CAMS, are they a bit like a software 'driver' in a PC operating system? Am I allowed to mention 'gifts' on...

But when you're a woman and blonde Channel Hopper people (men ehm) seem think it comes naturally. I see Maplins are selling an Icecrypt 3200 HDCCI for £99 which seems really good especially considering they're going for £119 on ebay. What I'm thinking is not only is it a good deal but at least...

Sounds all very exciting guys and I can't wait to get started lol. I've been checking out a few cheapish boxes on various sites but it's a real minefield for a beginner. From the reviews I've read for the Blade 7000s it sounds really good for just over £100 but there's also a couple of...

Thanks for the honest advice guys. Maybe I'm being a bit hasty but when I bought my first PC many years ago (remember the days of the 286, 386 etc) with the intention of using it for letter writing and playing solitaire it wasn't long before I was taking it to bits to upgrade the hardware then...

Hi guys, I've been looking on ebay and found a Blade BM 7000s which look very nice and within my budget. I also found a Golden Media 'spark' and a fulan 'spark' which are apparently the same thing (both made by the Fulan company it seems) but with the GM being more expensive. They're all HD...

Just to add about my budget I'm thinking of anything up to about £150 depending on whether I go for a good second hand box or a cheap end of the market brand new unit. Thanks

Thanks for your quick responses guys. Eventually I'd like to be able to access more than 1 satelitte but just to get started maybe try something that is basically plug and play and have been thinking about the skybox f3 but, knowing me I'd get bored with this very quickly if it's not very...
