    Before i go out and get my cable box, i just clearing up as to what connects to the starview box to give it the actual signal?

    Is it a cable phone box as i have those?
    Is it a special cable exterior aerial?

    regards

    you`ll need a green phone b0x for Ireland & a red phone b0x for the uk (only joking) :)

    Once you subscribe to your cable co`s "basic package" (not the digital package) you connect your coaxial cable from the b0x on the wall to the st@rview b0x & scart from TV to SV b0x & you`re sorted. (Assuming there is digital in your area).

    lol

    yeah so i need to have a box that supplies a tv signal, so the phone box is completely different from the inside wiring to a tv box

    I have the brown cable box outside as was wondering if i can run a tv signal from that. It has a red green orange and blue wires coming out of the wire. (Connect those it a coax adapter)

    You can run a cable from the outside b0x & give it a go, if not, you`ll have to subscribe to the cc`s basic package.
