Hi All,

First post here. I was looking for a kryptview or similar box but cant get any cable in my area.

Also can't even get sky and pay full wack!

All i can get is freeview or BT vision. Can kryptview work through BT Vision or an internet connection or does anyone have any ideas of other boxes?!?

Thanks

You could get a Freesat box, but you'll also have to stick up a satellite dish for it to plug into.

The problem is I'm not allowed a satellite dish on the building as its listed. I can get broadband through a certain cable provider but its not fibre optic and just uses the phone line

Its just Freeview or BT Vision for you then unfortunately...

Just found out the building is getting a communal sky installation with a dish on the roof! What boxes out there work with sky - sorry for the layman questions but I have no idea!
