    I'm getting confused here. Who are your provider at present, S*y or Chor*s?

    If you are not paying Chor*s for a basic service, you won't get one.

    deckost, where you copy and paste that from?

    Firstly, if you dont have a basic Chorus Digital feed coming in, you wont get it and secondly, a SV3 wont work on Chorus MMDS, so you need to find out what you actually have, just becuase it comes from the street outside doesnt mean it aint MMDS, there could be one aeriel feeding a few houses

    It was an email I sent to the guys I purchased the BOX from , The area I am in has had cable for 15 or so years , It is well established. There is MMDS nearby from Chorus so your assumption maybe correct, I will just wait and see.

    Or look at the label under your neighbours subbed Sagem box, if it has ITD on the label its MMDS.
