hi,

(question1) - just want to know that when nagra3 comes into play does that mean every single channel will not be working?

(q2) also...should i bin the box or do you think it will be of some use again in the future?

(q3) maybe a stupid question...but can i replace my sky box and use the eurovox? will it pick up anything after i do a scan? can i use the thing as a satelite receaver?

i know our days are numbered as i just receaved the new card in the post.

It should still get the BBc1 ITv etc, so not totally useless if you don't have an aerial. Like running an official box without the card in.

You can't use a cable box on satellite- full stop.

Is that before or after you've had the cat deposited in your wheelie bin?

After losing my box I decided to move mine into the kitchen so I don't need an aerial. I get 1-5 plus BBC3, 4 and News. Although I don't get ITV2, 3 and 4, I do get all the +1 channels - which is a bit odd. It looks as though you can still pick up what other people are watching on replay, so i'm wondering if we might still be able to pick up their PPV events.
