Witch one is for me?

Hi Guys & Girls :)

Ok let me take you back a few years lol

I use to have a "The BOX" it was very simmler to Starview receive well as memory serves when Virg started using Neg3 (that might be wrong) it stopped working so i went back to just using a Virg TIVO box :( & paying full price (£80PM)

Just a few days ago someone at work was telling me he had just had a SKYBOX 5 installed at his home & when he was telling me about it & it just sounds like a Starview but not throw a cable ;)

now i'm really interested in getting one but i have Virg but i do have a dish on my wall at the side of the house with the cable in the living room if i buy a SKYBOX F5 is it just plug and play?
and is the firmware ill need available here?

Just out of interest is there a receive that's as easy to use as Starview was for a Cable customer?


Sorry not been around this in a while .



Thanks
Chris
