    so you connect it to the back, then the wire goes into the modem? and then what?

    also can this be done with the A780

    Most people here with SV or KV boxes flash them with firmware connect cable & watch channels
    on TV. If you want to use box for some other purpose just say what it is & someone may help
    you.

    what im asking is..... is it possible to get internet via sv and then use this to connect it to the server? so no other internet is needed as at the moment. you need box and a live internet connection.

    is it possible with the MAX232 ADAPTER, to get live internet from the SV box?

    No, the adaptor connects SV7 to existing internet. You may be able to connect to neighbours
    router if you use a wireless bridge with adaptor.

    thanks for the reply. Like said I have heard. it was possible to get internet via sv using MAX232 ADAPTER and then it going to a modem, thus this going back to the sv to supplier it internet. I am guessing this is incorrect

    thanks

    No you are correct SV7 connects to router via adaptor. The router is connected to internet
    whether it is your router or neighbours router it has to be connected to internet. Only other
    way is to use wireless internet dongle to connect to internet. Either way a sub has to be paid
    by someone to internet provider. You should really consult your original source to clarify the
    procedure. Maybe they know a better system
