    The majority of areas have now gone or going to Nagra3, this effects all cable boxs and "Other" boxs that you may have, you may hear rumours of someones friends pals sisters uncles who has a fix, they dont, so dont listen or buy into it, All the old boxs are gone, Eurovoxs, older Starviews, Kryptview DW HD box, Replay lites Dreambox C

    So what boxs are working?

    Ireland
    Currently, no box is working in Ireland on true cable, this may change in the future

    UK

    Kryptview A780 and 750 with ICONNECT
    The Kryptview A780 Lan box is working well, the Kryptview A750 with ICONNECT is also working well, both are well supported by the maker and seem to be pretty solid for the end users, the On time is above others

    Starview 6, 7 and Combo
    Starview 6 and 7 is working, but is prone to server issues, the Starview Combo is working also (cable side the same as the SV6 and 7), there is debate on the the time frame of both these boxs and how long it lasts, 12 months has been given as a timeframe, after that new box for the cable side of things. But they dont seem to be as reliable as the Kryptview when it comes to "On time"

    DDGITAL Duo
    A budget lan box which seems to be taking off, based on the Starview 6 / 7 platform, reports are coming in that it is a solid box and maybe be prone to the same issues as the SV6 (server), but for the price, its a good entry model

    Dreambox S Type

    Sat box with lan connection which allows you to connect to servers, some great posts on here on their set up or look for posts by Piopat or Fintanni

    How do the work on N3?

    Each box uses a lan to connect, this in turn helps the box do its magic, so the boxs must be connected to a router and to the net for the box to work its magic, now be aware, your connecting to a server for this to happen, no its not huge usage for those on low BBAND ratios, but be aware of this.

    Where can I get a box?

    There are number of retailers of these boxs, Skywonder is one, Wizard Sat is another who are reputable, but there are others, but do your homework before parting with the readies

    Firmware and Tuts?
    Firmware and tuts son how to flash boxs for the boxs can be found in a lot of members signitures, such as E45 etc

    More Info?
    The site is full of posts, nearly all issues or scenarios has been discussed by memebers, use the search function above, the Google Custom search tab, you will find everything you need

    Hope this of help and please read the existing threads thats why they are there, to help!
