Skybox F6

[rrob311]

that looks like an X5 to me. What other options does it have on top of the x5? Different operating system? Seems to have the same processor and case.

I guess we'll have to wait till Costactc tests it.

Just got an e-mail confirming that the receiver has been shipped.

Well it took 17 days to get here, not bad. The F6 comes equipped with a NA power cord, no adapter needed, hdmi cable, remote and an X5 users manual. It's identical, on the outside to my openbox X5. I haven't powered it up yet to see if there are any differences. The remote looks user friendly and is not the same as the X5 remote. Some pics:

Send me the link to order. I might order one for my porch in the resting area outside the house

Hey Costactc, looks like they put it on a fast boat for you! The remote looks like a twin of the X7. Hope to see the screen shots soon!

Let me test it out first Carlos.

Not quite sure as I have never seen the X7 remote. One thing I can see is that the guts of this receiver are not identical to the X5. Screenshots are a coming folks.

Sure!!! I will be interesting in the IPTV section. Skybox is pretty easy to load the TVlist in text *.txt format. Easy to create your own list and load it. As usual there are some features to look for:

Clock- Time
manual pids
Channel Editor
blindscaning acuracy and speed


Thanks!!

Menu is identical to the X5. Sorry about the pics, this receiver doesn't seem to be camera friendly. It's loaded with a European satellite list but does have several of the Atlantic sats in its list. Guess I'll start at 11w as I usually do with most of these receivers.
