Hi Guys

new to this today and just registered here today.

I've had a quick look round the forums and can't really see the answers to a few questions I had so I thought I'd start a new post.

Apologies if I'm asking really basic and stupid questions, just want to get my facts right before I proceed.

I've heard a bit about the Eurovox box and just need some more info on it. I currently have a Virgin V+ box, and a standard samsung cable box, as well as broadband and phone.

I basically want to know if I plug a eurovox into my cable feed, will I get additional channels to the ones I pay for??

If I decide to downsize to one cable box, will I still be able to plug a eurovox into the "unused" cable feed and still receive a signal??

Once again, apologies if these are real basic questions, and I hope someone can help me out here

Thanks

Hey Jimbo

thanks for the info

I may look into buying a eurovox. any recommendations where I should get one from where I don't have to mess around loading up firmware etc???

The best place to get one from is our very own lincsat who visits this site daily ...look in the stickies at the top of the forum for this Lincsat's Nick-nacks (Shop

Hi

I'm also new at this lark, just received the box yesterday. However no channels are being picked up. I followed all the instruction and have signal quality. The place is hooked up for ch**us but I'm not paying for any subscirption yet (new apartment block). When I perform the scan no tp's are being picked up. Any help is appreciated. Maynooth, Kildare area
Many Thanks

are the same boxs used for irish chorus?

LaoisLad · 01-02-08, 12:19 PM

I believe so, few mates have the same box and it works fine. They are hooked up to N*L but that wouldn't make a difference would it?
