    all the old boxes go to recycling except what is below

    Kryptview A750 / A780
    starview 6
    starview 7
    starview combo hd
    ddigital duo

    Any other box can be dumped as there will not be any fixes for these boxes at any time

    Thanks for the info guys!!

    It looks like a basic cs set-up is the only viable way to get around N3.

    I have a DM500C, can't this be connected to any of the severs which the other boxes are using?

    If not it looks like the KryptView A780 for me!

    Just as a another bit of info for some users

    Your old boxs are not Freeview boxs, the wont work as a freeview box, as the Freeview box in the UK is a different box. We dont have Freeviw in Ireland

    The old cable boxs are really FTC or FTV - Free to Cable or Free to View, which means in the orginal state the would have only picked up free to view chans, since N3 has kicked in, this is now what they are again, Free to View cable boxs, meaning you will only get a few chans, prob 4 or 5, your better of sticking the cable into the TV directly as you will get more chans now

    Just to clear up some of the confusion some folk have and thinking they can be used as a Freeview box.

    Mickah , just a quick question. What are your guys thoughts on the situation in Ireland? Will we be in a position to use the Kryptview in the coming months?
