Hi guy's, maybe you can give me a little info on this... Basically a family member moved into a new apartment in Sandyford and is getting hooked up with N*L on Tuesday. Now, their next door neighbour has got hooked up with N*L yesterday and their box is a U*C box. Now I'm about to purchase a Strview 3 for the person in question, will/should it work in the new apartment even if they are given one of these new U*C boxes ? I'm not that savvy when it comes to these boxes and with all the talk of the Nagra 2 ect.. I just wanted to find out a bit of info before I order the box. Cheers
That's would be stretching the budget a bit I find the starview 3 really good. I'm using both replay lite and Starview 3 and me personally find the Starview much better, only my opinion though. Buy yeah, just a little confused with sifting through some of the threads so just tryin to confirm if the box will work in this new apartment. I guess it will but I alway's like the opinions of the experts
It will if the signal is not degraded too much. For apartments the cables usually go to a splitter box. But for a new apartment in that area you should be fine. Yes an SV3 is fine as is a Eurovox and a multitude of other boxes. SV4 and EX5000 give you the option of recording.
Cheers sc0user I'm considering grabbin a SV4 for myself but I was havin a few drinks last week and I had one of those drunken moments and splashed out on a 50" plasma and I'm feeling the pinch to say the least this week lol
Hmm, I was out today and missed the Liverpool v Everton match, if only I could have recorded it.. ^^ that's what I'll be thinkin in a few hours when I do have a few beers lol That damn drink, I'll have to give it up
I watched the highlights and yeah it wasn't a bad game, unfortunately I couldn't watch it at my leisure unless I downloaded it and the wife was hoggin the pc all evening so that was out lol But when I get out of my personal recession I'll prob grab one, it'll be great I'll be able to record corrie and fair city and eastenders lmao I havn't used any type of box like this at all, as in any dvd recorder, how stone age is that.Do you know is it possible to record a program and then transfer it to the pc do you know ?
Yes it records in TS format but there are programs in Eamos that allow you to transfer and view recordings on your PC
I would look at the abcom ipbox 900HD, which is the only one that will do your screen justice, pic quality is amazing. If I had €2,000 to spend I would sooner get a cheaper plasma/LCD & a 900HD, rather than a dearer plasma & a €100 cheapo box. For the same money the 900HD & semi decent TV will probably give a better picture. No point having a weakest link in your setup. I wouldn't touch anything but a linux based box in dublin too.
