I moved in my house 1 year ago & i have a ntl box on the wall which i have plugged direct in to my TV & get the normal 5 channels (bbc ITV etc) i am thinking of getting a Eurovox. If i buy one will it work as i do not subscribe to Virgin Media.

Yes it should do because the feed is still live.

How can it work? he says he is not subscribed to Virgin Media, I was under the impression that you have some sort of contract with Virgin for the euro-vox to work,even if its only broadband ....

Not if the line is still live, which more often thant not, still is.

They shouldn't disconnect the feed, AIUI, there is an obligation to continue to provide the 5 analogue TV services. They sometimes do disconnect though, especially if the street box is full. If your feed is currently live, then good, but remember - it could be disconnected at any time, best to subscribe to something.

Now have my Eurovox 2008 have plugged it in & done the powerscan while it is doing it the level & quality sometimes drop’s down to the red ( 5%) on some frequency, but stay’s in the green (75%) a lot of the time. When it has finished it goes to the installation menu where there are channels 1 to 25 but I can not get them to work. Any help PLEASE
