hi m8,what package is that then for £11,if you get broadband you will be able to use your box.

Just phone line & free cable tv

if they give you a settop box then ,i dont see why not .just swap boxes.

You must keep the Setup box they give you connected as they use talkback - V*rg*n Med*a may get suspicious if they don't receive a signal back. My advise is connect both.

Hi how do you connect both boxes iv had my D running on its own for over a year now with no probs

Also noticed a few posts above WAZMAN says about broadband my dad has a d box and he dont have internet ??

hi,peakey
i'm confused here,you say you had dbox running on its own,is it wired to original cable input? as dbox got cable out socket,if so just take a feed from there to officical stb.
your dads situation i presume is that he subscribes for tv package,which is fine,my option is for someone who doesn't have tv package as you then split bb connection ,in theory invisiblely, cause cc dont even realise you are watching tv.

Play it safe have both boxes running, use a splitter.

Sorry might have been my fault bit early in the mornin

[badboy_225]

Would you use a splitter to split the broadband connection ?
If yes how would you connect it to a cable modem?
would you require a certain connector type?


Would i be able to get broadband with just having subscribed for cable tv and a telephone line

Thanks for the reply before
