The Usual firmware places dont even seem to have anything listed as yet which is pretty unusual

wow !! those 2 posts probably have been the best two posts ive read in a very very long time badboy1965 .
you get a well deserved Thanks from me for those posts !
so you say you got your softcam set up is that a constant.cw softcam like with dreambox uses i wonder ??
that was the whole reason i bought the Skybox F5 so i can hopefully use keys constant.cw keys and clear Biss encoded channels ,
is there a BISS Menu to input keys ??
and can constant.cw keys be inserted to box via USB Stick ?
im really loving what im reading on your above posts i have been really worried that i may have bought wrong box but i read your posts its been very refreshing and puts my mind at ease somewhat .
hopefully box will arrive tommorrow im really looking forward to it now i must admit .
i dont see any patch or firmware for this box so i guess there wont be a requirement to upgrade firmare then to use CCcam as client ??
this sounds like it gonna be one hellof a great crimbo for me for a change .
many thnxs badboy1965

How is the picture quality in SD and HD ?

Compare to other receivers like DM500/800...

hi packi the pictures are good but as you know once you,ve watch HD,the SD dont look the same,but for the money and what it can do ,you should be very happy with the box

Hi,

I recently bought a Skybox F5. The problem is that it takes time to unscramble (cccam, 30 seconds to 2 minutes). Any advice? Thanx a lot...

Should be similar to the F3 which normally takes 10 secs to clear, so glitchy I just use mine as a great HD freesat with fantastic dolby digital sound via my old marantz SR4200 home cinema amp.
