    It has a DVB-T tuner to allow it to work with Ch**us MMDS. N** MMDS uses a DVB-C variant so that is why the box works on it.

    You got the wrong box as stated above an ordinary DVB-C version of "The Box" or any other DVB-C box will work on N** MMDS.

    Can you drop the capslock please. Is the other box a Starview 1 or is it called "The Box", which is a Starview 2?

    sorry mate. Whats written on the packaging is The Box(this is the one I got 30 channels on) and the other one says The Box-T. I thought they were maufactured by Starview.

    They all are the Starview, The Box and the Box T. The Starview and The Box will work on N** MMDS, the Box T is only for Ch**us MMDS. Get the Box back and I will tell you how to get all the channels available to you.

    You need to do a factory reset. Then turn the box off from the back switch for a minute. Turn it back on and follow the installation on screen guide, select N** symbol rate 6887, then autoscan. Any problems just shout.

    Just plugged in 'The Box'(DVB-C)and I got 50+ channels including Sky Sports 1 & 2 of the movie channels.I then master reset the box powered it down and tried the following:

    -Pressed Menu and entered 1570
    -Then went into CAS system- Nagravision and checked that it was set to:

    N*L
    Provider: 5401
    Key data: A9 86 6E EA 39 EA 09 49

    -EMU Key is set to ON
    -Then Carried out an Auto-Scan and it found 15 channels however when I went onto the channels I seem to have them all (Sports & Movies etc)except LFC (I have that other rubbish MUTV !!)I have pressed the SL button on the remote when I am on one of the channels and the symbol rate is 6.887Msps(Is this correct for NTL MMDS).I am afraid to touch it now cause I might delete the channels......any ideas ?? Thanks for the help.

    Hi, Newbie with the box here. Having moved from a cable area to a MMDS (NTL) I bought The Box have picked up the channel's on sc0user's list - I was just wondering if other channels may be picked up. Specifically, I was hoping to get Racing UK. This is available on NTL Cable's service but not listed on the MMDS service.

    It is just a question of waiting for NTL to add Racing UK to their MMDS service before it can be found?

    Many thanks
