Hi everyone i was just wondering if i would be able to use a mobile broadband dongle on my starview 7 if so how would i go about connecting it to the box.

Yes, as long as your connection is good, you will have to bridge the connection via the lappy/pc or a router.

i got this done by using a 3g router,, make sure its compatible with your dongle though and has an available lan out port too.
easy to find on fleabay!
the one i have is hard wired to the combo box and has an unlocked e220 dongle (faster speeds with this @7.2mbps) and the cable side works a treat as i have a low mobile signal.
the sky side isnt as good but if i stretch out the window on an angle i get a better signal!
but on the cable side its perfect glitch free with a dongle/router set up.
so anyone without home bb can make use of these boxes too.
cool
