    Hi guys 3 days down in London now, have not had any problems with KV since the big arrests a few years back, and even then people were kept in the loop near enough straight away. can someone private message me a cable box that works near enough the same as A780 to replace it if this stays down n out. Not bothered about missing channels as long as it has sly/bg sports and movies.

    That's the problem... We're not told anything about when things go wrong... For whatever reasons that is, maybe to do with the legality of the boxes.. And people getting caught using them...
    But even just to let people know WHY... The KV team should do out of decency.
    I've been reading that sum of the channels came back on yesterday.. Even tho only briefly.. And BT sports 1 is still active.. But on channel 1004/5... So that does give us hope I'd say... So it's fingers, toes and anything else we've got crossed it comes back on for the footy...

    I think you might need a TV sub too, to get the signal strength for the box. Let us know on here if the Box works without a tv sub.

    yes they can work on vm broadband with a splitter

    box needs a coaxial cable and lan connection to work on above.

    yes your bb and tv signal both come off the same line, put a splitter on it, or open the white box they stick on the wall normally they put a splitter in there so you would just need the coax, kv bit temperamental though so be prepared
