    Will mmds go the same way as cable??????????. Has anyone the answer for that.
    Also in different areas of cork the starview (c)boxs are crashing, while in other areas they are working fine. I reset a neighbours by simply rescaning and it worked since, yet I live in same apartment block and using a digivox which needed no readjustment.

    Thats coz your Digiv*& has the latest firmware. You need to update the other box's or input K**s manually if no up to date firmware is available

    Correct regarding latest firmware on digi, had a check on the k/s side and they have not changed, you suggest updating!, will that still be effective as said k/s remain same.
    And any news regarding mmds?.
    Cheers.

    Of course it will eventually, when it is fully rolled out.

    as UPC use 2 different symbol rates it could be a good while until they reach the cho*** areas

    So what i would say is enjoy your viewing and worry about it when it happens if it does
