Not at all, it will not matter if the PC is on or off. if the NTL modem has one USB and one Ethernet port (as mine does), USB to PC, Ethernet to Box. Both cables should have been supplied with the modem. Dont see the need for extra outlay and hardware.
you are always best of using a router anyway safer and yes you are correct he should have both cables that of course is down to where he also has the modem in the house to where the tv is of course or else he will also need hotplugs or a bridge to the box. he is better of getting the box then see what he needs as he is only confusing himself here unless he sees the box he wont understand
no that is not what im saying you are welcome to post what you want what i am saying is he is confusing this himself unless he has the box in his hands to see what he needs then there is no point guess in what he will and wont need let him come back when he has the box then we can guide he better from there me thinks anyway
Yes & obviously he can buy with confidence knowing that all cables etc are available for him to resolve his situation once the royal mail man arrives to the door with his new card to kill his SV3...
Please be advised that if you upgrade your A750 with the 17052010 firmware, make sure your IConnect is powered OFF when doing the new channel scan. Only reconnect it and power it back up again once you have a TV signal displyed on the TV (Usually channel 0000). Once you power up the IConnect, it should take over the A750 and downlod a major update from the internet. This is normal and should be allowed to proceed (display shows on both the TV and the A750). Once the A750 display shows the word SUCC it is complete and you may now use your IConnect in the manner in which it was designed. Happy viewing! If you get the above wrong, the IConnect will sit there and only display 2 green LED's (power and connection). If this is the case, re-read the above and you have to start from the beginning (re-flash) Points to note: Faster channel decryption Faster fetching of codes (I noted every 2, 5 and 10 seconds on a repeating cycle) More responsive remote control New menu item which will eventually show website traffic (not implemented yet?) To those reading this associated with the Kryptview and IConnect, I personally thank you and ask if the DW800 HD box is to be IConnect capable too (answer via PM if you wish to remain anon) >)
I've got the DW800 and at present it's only getting the FTA channels so I think you might be mistaking the A780 there lol
Thats what I'm thinking Mickah ... Not worried about the A700 but I'm hoping they have something in the pipeline for the DW though as it's far too young (and a fairly decent box funnily enough) to throw on the scrapheap
ok lads cheers thank you for all the info. I have a Vigin modem with one ethernet cable output yes . Looks like I'm going for the 750 box . I just want to be sure of everything before I do

The advantage is you wont need a iconnect for it the lan connection is built into the box that is the only difference
Not sure if this might help but Vod*fon* hav a new wireless router (Huawei hg556a) that can be used with a 3g device... intended for those who want wireless around the house but cannot get landline BB or for those who have landline BB and are having issues, they can simply connect 3g device and away they go....also has 4 LAN ports...
i wonder if the rest of the box companies eg: Eurovox..ect will follow in the footsteps of kryptview and starview or are they just going to let themselves go bust!!
