After been let down on everybodys favourite auction site on f5 last week I have had to put my setup on hold. Further looking into is it worth buying a different box the blade bm5000s seems to have mixed reviews with CCcams dropping out etc but somewhat appeals to me :grin: any recommendations please?
Also thanks for everybody who contacted me regarding lines I will be in touch when I get up and running.
 
Don't buy a Blade 5000s yes your right the cccam drops out if your watching a fta channel for 15 mins avoid it at this minute there's no firmware fix for it so far and the remotes aren't stable they stop working after 4 months.
 
You can get an octogon sf8 hd for around 120 quid much better than the budget boxes though alittle harder to set up. Not so hard with the help on this forum.
