    i also have a Ferguson ariva 102e which i think gives a slightly better image than the skybox M3 it also has a preview mode for youtube/youporn plus the added bonus of Grooveshark on the patched images plus has a few extras like google maps and a couple of more online services
    Are they both easy to setup etc and out of the 2 which one do you recommend

    Both boxes are easy to set in there own ways and can both run on wifi or lan just make sure you buy the ones from the box makers

    but i like the new skyboxes M3 as there are some modded images out there with 28.2 channel list already pre-loaded with fav list already named just add your cfg files and away you go

    cant say the same for the Ferguson ariva yet as its still early days in the boxes life cycle but still a cracking little box fro the money
    All PM,s asking about c/s on cable will be ignored and reported to forum staff!

    Cheap sat box for the bed room

    MaxDigital XP1000 all the way, more or less same spec as ET4000 but cheaper. Won't go wrong with Broadcom enigma 2 receivers.
