    Hi guys,

    My friend has a router which only has a single port that is connected to a laptop, he is trying to connect SV7 to get internet connection - Is this possible to do as there is no spare port in the router.

    He has tried a router switch but it still does not work. Is there a soultion to this probelm?

    Thanks in advance

    Your not having much luck with boxes Raj. Your friend needs to install a wireless router or
    maybe he could connect wirelessly to nearby router using Open Media Wi-Fi dongle or similiar.
    Friend's box will work thru his modem if set up correctly but they would lose B/B to PC while
    SV/7 is in use

    If you used Carling 1.04 firmware options are automatically set so if you have box connected
    to router LAN & prov TV cable you should be all set. Sometimes you need to turn off box and
    router, turn on router then turn on box
