[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 1052351, member: 319227"] The Skybox F3 is nothing to fo with Sky and will not accept Sky cards. This is quite an old box and Sky took legal action to stop them using the name in the UK and later models from the company were branded Libertview and later Openbox - which now sell for £30 upwards (so £40 is way too high a price). They cannot use the broadcast "over the air" EPGs (if any is available it is downloaded via an internet connection) so recording to external usb is only possible using manual timer (like in the early days of VCR) of FTA channels Illegal theft of pay TV was possible at one time via card sharing but has virtually disappeared nowadays and cannot be discussed here. They are quite a capable generic FTA receiver and do have one major advantage - that the recordings to usb will not need a capture device to view and burn recordings on a PC BUT FTA channels only legally. So basically that is a very poor value and should be less than half that price [/QUOTE]
