Reminds me of the OpenBOX S9 and the SkyBox F3 remote. I had both hooked up at the same time once. Never again! I had to take a deep breath and block the remote receive on one during my testing stage once I figured they were using the same time remote freq. At least the Freesat V7 does not have...

FreeSat V7 Question: CC? Closed Caption ... Is there a CC?

Tunder, ... You must mean 116.8W? All Spanish? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Okay. Thanks. I will not risk it. Both of these are good receivers so far. Posted Via The SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Does anyone have both of these receivers? I have both of the subject receivers and since they are both basically OpenBox, has anyone swapped software between the two? I don't want to ruin my new Skybox F3, but it sure would be convenient to load OB s9 Channel list into the SkyB, especially since...

If you are still having trouble, try double checking your LNB settings again. Do not assume they are the same. I think I remember it defaulting to 10750 KU and I think you mentioned you're using a universal?

I have experienced this with 7.5ft mesh and MicroHD. Sometimes the channel popped in, other times nothing. I just attributed it to my dish not aligned properly on the West end of the arc. Hardly ever get over to that satellite anyway. Bloomberg next door is about it. Posted Via The...

Thought I would add another comment or two about this receiver. If you have a hardwire Internet connection available at the location where you will set this up, then you do not need to spend the extra few bucks for the Plugin WiFi USB. You won't need it, because it has a internet plug in the...

This is an easy one. Satellite names change after awhile because the satellites change. Channels change after awhile because apparently it's inevitable. All these changes add up to dead channels in spots or even missing the new ones sometimes because you haven't scanned for quite awhile. Change...

Another picture to show what the size of the Skybox F3 looks like in the small space under my 32" Vizio. This model fits nicely in a bedroom. It's about the size of a hardback book. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

No dogs except one outside BIG watchdog. No kids except when the grand kids visit and they're stumped by the existing 6 remotes needed to watch TV. One wife who when she ever does decide to watch TV, usually does one of two things depending upon her mood: picks the remotes up one at a time and...

Why two remotes? I can foresee my wife and I in a dueling of the remotes if we both had one? Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Okay, almost 24 hrs later and this receiver is working fine with an unbelievable very fast blind scan and picks up channels nicely. I retract my rash statements about the picture quality also. The picture is fine. Maybe it needed to settle in? Whatever the reason, it appears to have a sharper...

It's just I've seen the real HD channels on my MicroHD and my OpenBox S9 on HD TVs and there is a noticeable difference to the naked eye. I suppose the pics are somewhat deceiving. But you're right, if these go on sale again for $30 on amazon, there should be a mad rush. Posted Using The New...

Well I received the SkyBox F3 today, but without the USB WiFi that was supposed to be included.(edit update: within an hr of sending a comment to seller that the USB WiFi was missing, got a return response they would send it, so looks like the seller on amazon is OK). I did receive an HDMI...

I suppose you know you are just stuck in PAL mode. I couldn't find the blind menu instructions to go through to get the screen visible, but it is here on satguys as several of us used it over the past years. Keep searching or perhaps someone has a better memory than I and will post the...

Thanks. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I'll find out soon as its delivered either Friday or Monday. I wanted something cheap that would receive DVB S2 and High Defin., for the third bedroom. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

SKYBOX F3 Apparently this is just another OpenBox...

On an impulse, I bought a new in box Skybox F3 last Labor Day weekend on a special price deal of $29.99 plus $4 shipping, on Amazon. It is on the way with a USB WiFi included in that price. I will use it on the loop out of my OpenBox S9 tied to a C Band system. The price changed quickly back to...

You're welcome. Hope it works out. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!
