Couple of beginner questions... - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Yeah, I literally found about this like (cableboxes) an hour ago and have been researching it since.

Just need clarifying a couple of things and it might sound a little stupid.

But do you need to be connected to a cable company (NTL, Virgin, BT etc.) for it to work or will it work with just a regular tv, meaning you just connect it to your tv aerial?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Minimum requirement is a broadband connection or a base TV package from your cable provider.

so a broadband connection and a 2-way splitter is it ?

D3LM4RT1 · 22-07-07, 06:04 PM

Yes ... as long as you are with a cable supplier who provides tv service such as vm

Toomy · 22-07-07, 06:04 PM

Just to clarify for Toomy,as long as you have a cable connection,you do not need broadband,you should be fine.

ah thanks for that .. just a quick question whilst i'm on, was on a football forum earlier and people were talking about eurovox and someone said:

But then again i heard a rumor that ntl managed to scramble them a few month back.

anyone heard anything about this or is it all still up and running ok ?

You find a lot of rubbish on forums.Eurovox has been going continuously since January last year.The Starview and replay lite are always going down.
