Hi,

I'm confused by your last comment, sorry new to all this forum thing.

By your comment should I be looking to remove my post.

Can you tell me what was wrong with it so that I can learn by my mistakes.

Regards

What type of box are you after, samsung 2100 or pace 4001, 4010, are best for pure ntl, you would need a programmer, j tag or led simm, or the other type of box like eurovox, starview,dreambox, which are almost plug and play.
Have a read through the forum and do a bit of research before you buy anything, as you can easily come unstuck with a clone or wrong type of box.

Nothing wrong with your post m8 just the fear of recommending one.

There are so many out there its something you really need to research yourself

Thanks for your help,

Will look through the fourms to see what problems peeps have had with boxes then go from there.
I'm sure what ever box I go with I will have loads of questions that have been asked before, but will do a search before asking.
