I now understand it all works through card sharing and that's why signals might be lost.

ur right in 1st two but card shareing is to do wih sky if u googled it right but 1 rule on here cant talk about card shareing for both u need internet

C/S works for both cable and sky. There is no other way to get all channels @ this moment in time.

Which ever network provider you decide to choose either way you will need an active internet connection and the box has to be connected to the ''Internet''

The way cable is working at this moment in time is via C/S and there nothing different.


This is so that the keys are obtained & updated every time they change from the card holders end.

if you switch to the sly side then you will need to obtain more info on how to locate specific servers and then learn how to configure the box. BUT main thing is that you will need a Sat dish either way.

With VM you need an active VM line. i.e pay for the lowest package is one way round it.

your right!!!!

However with signal levels on the sat side its different. With V.M you will be effected as they have a habit of lowering there signals.
