hi can anyone help or offer any idea, i want to get a eurovox or similar box i used to be on v****n, i've checked the signal coming in by connecting to friends v****n box and nothing, is there anyway of getting the signal reconnected without going through the subscription proses, or is there a box that can work with sky if so what is it and how do i get it to work. sorry i am a bit of a idiot and dont know alot about this sort of thing so any help would be much appreciated, or if somone was living in the kent area and new how to reconnect a cable supply please let me know thanks very much in advance.
you need to have a live connection,or if you no a engineer that works for them he could turn ur connection back on through the nearest box where you live.
thanks for that but dont know ant engineers, dont suppose anyone knows one that would do it for me that lives in the medway area of kent many thanks for your help or is there some thing i can use with sky sat
have you checked the grey box on the front wall outside your house???are the wires still connected or not?check and get back to me...
yes checked the box outside i have a brown box on the wall which was telewest theres a cable in it which is connected to a jointer and that comes in the house so as far as i can see everything looks good in that part
Sounds like they have disconnected you from the cabinet (green box in your street). Unless you know an engineer like has already been said then theres nowt you can do. Those cabinet have special keys to get into them and you also need a special tool to connect your cable back to the tap ports. Inside those cabinets its a maze of cabling and unless you know what youre looking for and if everything is labeled correctly, which its not always, its hard to know what youre doing.
ok thanks for that is there anything i can use with sky satellite that will give me the same channels as a cable box i do pay a subscription to sky so got the signal, i have been trying to reed up about it on here but all a bit confusing for me, dont really want to pay another subscription to virgin if i can help it
There is something possible with S*y my friend has it. I will find out more details and let you know.. I think it's a Dre*mbox and he pays a subscription fee of £160 a year. It seems to work through a broadband connection.. I will find out more and let you know
thanks alot for all your help think it will have to be vi***n but what box do you recommend i get to work with v****n and can you get them pre flashed or is it really easy to do myself
all you need is an allen key.....to gain access to the green/grey box on the street....once inside,each cable has a number on it..the number will represent the house door number...some will be unplugged,some plugged...you can easily just plug yours in......but,before you do that,let me warn you...it is illegal to do so,and i do not encourage you to do so...you might have the local nick knocking on your door,and also you may draw unwanted attention to all those on your street that are obtaining channels for free!!!...grab your self a quantum satellite reciver to gain 5000 channels free or a motorised technomate reciever to get 10000 channels free...fro all overthe world!!
ok im signing up to v****n couple of questions does anyone know the best deal i can get on them im going to get a v+ box just for recording normal channels. and what box do i get eurovox or starview or any other one basically i want it as good or reliable and as cheap as possible also does anyone do them preflashed also can you buy one with a built it hard drive for recording sorry about this realize i can search for all this myself but i just get really confused what with reading on here about people buying copied box's and getting trouble with them just want to bow down to all your wisdom on here thanks very much for all your help really appreciate all the help
be advised that clones have been made of eurovox and starviews and no support for updating them as original firmware will not work on those ones.digivox xl not cloned, all boxes sold are freeview they will need updating.
many thanks for all the info, you say starview which one do you suggest cause I've noticed there several on the market, also how do i know if its a genuine box and not cloned so in other words what sites do i use and what sites do i avoid also what site do you use to get all your firmware and updates many thanks taf
