its all over for the cable boxes,well for now

Yes its finally came the end for our boxes,this N3 seems to be a problem and i dont think a answer is coming soon,so all you out there thinking of buying a cable box forget it for now,bit by bit all the stations will go.Theres no firmware or fix this is a fact the cable box is over.Id like to thank everone out there who have helped me over the time i used this site and too all the good advice that i recived.Theres many people who used this site ads there hobbie its sad taht they will no longer be able to do this.Of course this is only in Ireland but you uk folk watch out your be next.Dont seem many people have come on yet to ask weres there channels going,give it time and the masses will be panacing.We carnt complain i got about 3 years of many channels and i always new it would one day come to a end.Me ive got free to air satilite be fucked if i will ever pay for tv looking into getting a satlilte that gets the football on strange forgein channels at the moment,anyway a big thankyou to afterdawn and to everyone and let me leave with these words,they think its all over,well it is now. good luck.

 

Wow

1. You don't think an answer is coming. An answer may not be coming or it may be, most likely not.

2. The cable box is over. Maybe, but maybe not, if a fix is found for N3 the same boxes may be capable of being upgraded. (Could be a good time to pick up a bargain though I would not be recommending it!!)


3. This might be a good place to let us know how you get on with your satelite set up and the foreign channels, so don't dissappear, you could be invaluable!!

 

yeah keep us updated on how you get on with the sat thing was thinking of doing the same let us know where and price when you find out more info anything to get out of paying cheers

 

I went the opposite way, from satellite to cable

I use to watch Premiership on an Arab package (£110) for 12months. This include at least 4 games kicking off at 3pm on Saturday and every Sunday game and mid week
Also, Champions league, French and Portuguese.

They lost the rights to Premiere (German) so I watched their stuff for free with an updated firmware - Formula 1 coverage was awesome, number of different channels dedicated to different view, shed load of movie channels but, alas they moved to Nagra3 in the last 6months or so.

So that package is now closed but, there is football and movies available and Im more than happy to help any of you guys who wanna get started

Satellite offers so much more than cable, stick with it and the rewards are phenomenal

 

Hi A good starting point is a Tectnomate 5400ci+ you will need min.80cm dish and a motor the receiver can be flashed like a cable box and will pick up a good amount of channels it also has a cam and card slot for when you get into it big time. Check out satdownloads or satfiles two good sites to help you along the way.

 

Thanks,thats a good starting point for me.Its gonna be interesting learning about satilites why i wait for the fix to come.

 

hi just to let you know i got this set up for crimbo as a side line easy to use and easy to set up you wiil get the football and some film`s it will keep you going still better then paying

 

hi vincheno,how much did this cost you and did you do it all yourself and would a techno novice like myself be able to install without too much trouble thanks in advance

 

Easy enough to set up but you do realise that most of the decent Sat providers are also migrating to Nagra 3 also.

 

Just curious sc0user but is that applicable to freesat also??

 

so i would be in the same position as we are all in now ?

 

get yourself a nanoxx 9600ip/max1000ip receiver it hooks up to a cardshare server you get to receive a lot of the packages out there football,porn,films all for free

 

Nope Freesat is just that "Free"

 

Basically but you will have more choice of channels than what will be left on cable, but will they be the channels you want

 

If you know anything about CS, you should also know its not a good idea to post here about it, as with a lot of other forums. I like this one keeping it open would also be nice.

 

Good lad PMSL here mate lol

 

Cheers for the info on freesat Sc0user.

 

No worries I think CNN is launching soon on Freesat so add that to your list.

@ Ferg there is nowhere left to run LOL Although there will be a hell of a lot more channels than on cable

 

yep true enough but a lot of crap as well free this and free that and this works good and this ring is only 19.99

why not buy a box of crackers

yup they are good channels all right but not to worry darkness will prevail
