Default After Virgin Box

Hi im in a PURE NTL area and was after a box found out i can use either one of these boxes listed below:

PACE 4001
PACE 4010
SAMSUNG 2100
SAMSUNG 2110 - CANT GET THE BK IF THE CARD ISNT PAIRED
SA 8300 (TV DRIVE) - CANT GET THE BK IF THE CARD ISNT PAIRED

Ive never done a box before but i want one that i can use on demand services do all these boxes allow on demand as a friend was telling me his box freezes when trying to access on demand????

Also i understand i need a card programmer and where can i get tutorials for these boxes?

Is there anyone that has one ready that maybe i can buy or that can do for me?

Many Thanks.

If you use on demand you are asking for trouble , as stated in most cable forums the golden rule is allways cut the talkback.If you have never done a box before the novice angle cable guide is a good place to start.

dont think it lasted 2 years as boxes went down twice this year. best box to get in my opinion is 4010 and 2100 the 4001 had tuner problems.
