O.K. I'm a major noob at this cable stuff and hadnt even heard of the eurovox until today! I have around £100 to spend and wondering, does the Eurovox get like EVERY channel on ntl? So thats like sky movies, sports, and on demand stuff aswell as porno etc? IF so which box would be best for my price range. Also do these boxes get popped/stopped by Virgin/NTL every so often and so you have to buy a new card or do you get cards for free etc.

I no its a hand full of questions but i'm seriously thinking of getting one of these

All channels which are available in your cable area.No on demand programs can be received,(requires feedback to cable provider) but Box office events(Boxing etc).Eurovox has no card,Self updating-Low maintainence.

eurovox doesnt take cards and you dont get video on demand stuff worth talking abou. you get porn and all the sports and movies etc. they may get shut down but havent been for well over 2 years. get a eurovox its just over your price if you buy from lincsat....
