    hi im looking for some help on how to set up starview box, ie - what cables i need etc

    i have been told the new house im going to had ntl in it b4 but im not sure it is in it now.

    Youl have either one cable input downstairs and possibly another connection upstairs, simply whaT you do is buy a splitter cable and split the cable connection coming in into 2 connections run 1 to one box and another to the other box.

    Need any more info , just ask

    To be honest id go for the dbox's ( Sagem dbox 2 if possible, nokia is good aswell though) there more stable in and there is support here on ad and other forums than the starview has on the whole web. Least that way you know you could come here and get info and advice if your struck with a prob with the dbox .

    Hope that helps

    Lol no worries, what you get mate is all the sky movies channels 1-10 and sky premier 1 and 2. You can also set up teleport , which is really what replaced front row. But you can only watch it once some1 in your area has payed to watch it.

    Hope that helps , any more Q's just fire away

    the starview box has a built in loop ,so you just plug a coax into cable out and wire it to another box in another room, this way you can watch different channels in other rooms, i have two its great
