Good point the only way for this to stop is full digital.
Which would mean providing everyone in Ireland and england with a digital box.
Just aint gonna happen!

Even the sv decrambles these red button channels,look at all the movie channels for example.
Up the irons(come on tevez)

 

That was was only released a few days ago. They normally don't release them until they can't update. However this version is the worst they have ever released. I think they will have to release another one because this is really pants. You'd think the cable company would have had their boffins at work trying to make life difficult and this might just be a sign of whats to come. The PVR SV is a waste of money if they can't sort this out. Why record stuff if all you are going to get is a scrambled picture.

 

Thanks.. You Sure This Will Connect to a Laptop Not PC


So What Exactly do i ask for at maplin and wha price am i looking at..

 

theyre already digital. but to stop us they would have to upgrade their encryption system but then all the recievers would have to be replaced. Theres a new version of nagravision that hasnt yet been cracked so if they changed now, no-one could get free cable until some-one cracked the new system but theres some clever people out there.......

Go in to maplins and buy a SERIAL CABLE R232 then buy a SERIAL CABLE to USB ADAPTOR!
Total of €15 or £10

 

You are missing the point. The SV descrambles them on one level. You get to the same level to watch the sports channel. However if you then want to select a particular game. A signal has to be sent back to the cable company.You cannot do that with the SV. So why not make it that everyone has to get to the second level to watch any channel. At present that would make SV worthless

 

hi guys

can any one tell me if it is safe to put v3.00ee on my box or is it risky i dont want to mess my box up.

 

Thanks For Your Help..

 

genuine box = yes

cloned box = its up to you, so far no one has complained of dead boxes but time will tell

 

OK maybe I am wrong. However the last time I asked the cable company if they had the same kind of facility as SKY for selecting a game of your choice they said they did. That means they can do what I've been saying without having to upgrade anything.

 

Crash'd N*L Has no select a game feature in place SKY has, this box does not work on sky digital!

 

i know it problay on here somewhere but how do i know if the box is genuine.

mine came with a box and manual with starview pictsures on and the unit looks like the one on the box aswell and it says starview on it.

 

I just lifted this from the BBC and it's years old. As far as I know you cannot do this with a SV
-------------------------------

BBCi's Wimbledon Interactive service returns for the 2004 tournament.

Viewers across all digital platforms are promised great choice and features when watching the world's most famous tennis event.

Whether your digital signal is via satellite (Sky), cable (NTL/Telewest) or Freeview, you will be able to watch the action from up to four different courts, as well as the live broadcast on BBC One or Two.

By pressing the red button on the remote control, viewers enter BBCi's Wimbledon interactive service and can choose between play from five courts using the up and down keys

 

Naz look at the back of your box if your SCART is on the left the box is real,
If its on the right the box is fake!

 

sky only has 1 way communication, the only way the box can communicate with sky is via telephone/modem but this is only used to buy stuff like ppv and games etc... actually i might be wrong about cable sending signals back but im 99% sure

 

Since You Guys Know Something About Cabels.. Ect. What Cabel do i need to connect my laptop To My TV??

Would The USB adapter be useful??
