Probably the dumbest question you have heard in a while; I have Sky in one room but am interested in buying a Eurovox box but I have been reading up about them and was wondering if I can use a Eurovox box even though I don't live in or have a cable connection? Thanks.

Sorry m8 you can't. you need a cable feed.

Thats it m8 as cashy3 says you need a cable feed, as you have sky this is different set up

you can get a dreambox dm7020 or a dm500s which work on sky, but skys boxes are very long winded and they become a full time job swopping and changing codes

Indeed getting free sky is more complicated and the risk of getting caught is higher than using a eurobox, especially if you dont know what you are doing. I would wait until cable is in your area and then go with the eurovox.

u dont need to be with cable. as long as u have a feed coming into ur house, sometimes works, worth a try on a cable box.
