Slightly off topic lads but can I use the HDD from a sky plus box as an external drive for my M8?

yes just format it fat 32

Great stuff, assume I will have to get some some of case for it? One with suitable USB ports etc?

If its the bigger hard disk (3.5") then you will need a case with external power supply.

The box should power the smaller 2.5" hard disks.

Can anyone recommend me a decent priced box and a place to purchase please?

Amazon the best?

Leaning towards the Mx3, any other recommendations?

Does the remote work well, or is it wise to get a wireless mouse / keyboard?

Regard

Some of the lad's got the MXIII 2GB and had trouple with the power adapter, but if you buy from Amazon, you should be safe for returns. I have an M8S, remote is ok, but remote for Sony tv works better on it, or you could put the Yatse app on your android phone or tablet. Wireless mouse is handy for set up.

The MXQ gave power adaptor trouble.

The MX3 I bought has been flawless, worked perfectly on Open Elec.

I got mine through androidpcsystems.com,they're an Irish company afaik and have very good after sales service too. You can pay anything from €50 to €250,depends on your budget and your requirements

€129.99 for the MXQ, Christ lad that's absolute robbery of the highest level. That's making at least €80 clear on each box.

Anyone using them at those prices is an idiot

Sarbox.is sells MXQ for €83 so quite a difference...

In fairness I was asked where I got it and that's the information I provided to the poster. I'm not affiliated to the company in any way,they were recommended by a mate and I found them simple and hassle free to deal with.

I've had to ring him twice with some questions I had and found him more than willing to help with it.
Not sure how that price ranks as I didn't shop around as such,just went with a mates recommendation and if since recommended it to some lads in work who seem happy with theirs too

No contact details on their website for support etc. no phone number, no address of the business, no details on their after sales support at all on their website.

If I was selling this sort of product and offering such 'very good after sales service' I would be advertising it on my website.

Fair points,I got the contact number off a mate and that's how I did my dealings with the guy.
I personally was impressed the swiftness my queries about the box were answered. Bottom line,I'm happy with the box,my only gripe is not getting one a few years back....from any retailer/supplier/bloke at a car boot sale

Have a T8 box the last month and love it. Bought a LG TV last week and it seems they're not compatible with each other. There's a firmware issue that causes the screen to constantly flash black and back. The only way to stop this is to turn the resolution down to 576 but this causes the screen to have a zoomed in effect making it unwatchable. So my question is has anyone heard of this before and if there's any fix. If not could someone recommend a Windows box that I've read will work. Thanks

Hi guys . . what's best between T8 and mxq boxes and what are their costs.best prices . .
