Hi guys I'm thinking of buying a eurovox box for my room. Don't really know a lot bout stuff like this.I would be splitting my broadband cable. Will I still get a good signal???What box is the best to buy just now?? Do u need to frequently install updates on these boxes, if so how do install them??

I was also reading something about cable companies blocking these in April. Anyone know more about this??? Cheers

Usually the signal level is good enough to split with no problems. Updates can be installed to the Eurovox Max over a RS232/ Null-modem cable connected to a serial port (or USB to Serial adapter) on your PC

There have been rumours of the Cable Companies blocking these ever since such devices became widely available - April 1st is one of the more common dates to be rumoured

ok so theyre nothing but mere romours at the moment!
If I bought the box from you does it come with all the software needed? all i would have to do is connect the cable into the box???

Just connect the box up, scan for channels and watch TV

does the eurovox connect to your tv via a scart lead or is it just a normal aerial???

Both, scart is the better quality.
