Need help please

[unadkat]

Hi everyone


I came across a box on ebay which is called :MAXX1000 Digital Satellite Receiver with Built-in Smart Card Reader

now i was wondering that with this box will I need a Sat Dish or can i connect this box straight to the internet and receive all channels?

And what channels will I be able to receive if i just connect it to the Internet?

Other sites are selling these boxes as FTA. Now if I bought one from them where can I find the patch for it?


please let me know

Regards
Anit

All satellite receivers require a dish and LNB, pointed at the correct satellite, to receive the desired channels.
You can get a motorized dish and select other satellites or fit multiple LNB's to receive a few satellites.
I am not personally aware of your receiver so I don't know if it is patchable and if there are any patches for it, I'm sure someone who knows about these receivers will answer your questions.

I think it's one of those cardsharing receivers which connect to a server on the internet. I think the forum is satdownloads or something similar.

Robbo is correct about the box being a cardsharing box, I did a bit of research for another poster and came up with what Robbo says.

I am sure that Robbo has given you the right forum for that box, as far as I can remember.

Very best regards Wez

The Maxx receiver was around for a few weeks in early Spring, the box connects to server but as I recall some boxes now need moding to get it to connect to the server as it has now been replaced with the Protek 9600IP slightly more expensive but by only a tenner or so and is a lot easier to connect and update.

Hi guys

Thanks for the replies i really appreciate all the help given.

Am kinda still confused in a way coz i was just at a site which i came accross and this is what it said on there: (Hook this receiver to your broadband via Ethernet cable or Wireless Access Point and watch more Movies, Football and Adult TV than you'd ever dreamed possible, all completely free! Very easy to install, no Cams needed - just plug and go!)

So am kinda wondering will I still need a Dish, and this new receivers which are slightly more expensive, Does anyone have a link for it please.

Can i use these boxes without a Motorised Dish?

regards
Anit

You still need a dish, as all the server does is fool the receiver in to thinking it has a card for the channels inserted. Also you have to have the receiver connected all the time to the router for it to clear those channels. Motorising would give you more choice, but there is plenty open on Hotbird depending on your tastes! As for a link see item number 180239492216 on ebay (my listing)

Does the installation include a Mortorised Dish as well?

And after being connected will I still need to subscribe for viewing the channels?

I heard that you need to patch the boxes in order for them to work apparently is that true?

And can you do Multi room as well?

do let me know as am very interested in it.
