[juice_josh]

all channels, but only get BBCHD in HD, as CC company only currenly broadcasts that channel at the moment

it does however upscale the SD channels, i have a 50" LCD, and looks so sweet through the HDMI cable

also has optical out, and aux output so you can add to your 5.1 DVD system if supported, for a full cinema experience

do some resarch on here, before making your mind up

cheers mate,
do i need a cable conection for it?
sorry for sounding like a noob,
i have virgin media down stairs but i want a eurovox in my room upstairs, does this affect anything, or du i simply plug in my eurovox and get channels? i think im wrong but?

okay so ive done abit of searching on the forum and come up with some good results and just need someone to back me up and say if im right or wrong on these( bare in mind i havnt got one of these yet, just a step-by-step guide for when i do):
i have v!rgin media cable downstairs, so i should buy a spliter and put the cable through ceiling into my room and into the eurovox
then when i update firmware i got alot of channels including sky sports 123 ect
undetectable from v!gin media unless they physically see it,
it doesnt cost for new firmware codes?

also another question is about the Eurovox EX7000HD is this worth £189.99
plus will i benifit anything from the HD, i do have a hd tv btw
which box would be best

any answers are welcome and very much apreciated


oh and HI everyone
great forum here

got mine from DVB junkie 179.99 delivered, updates will be free, as i said only 1 true HD channel BBChd, but i believe more to come

box will also record onto usb memory stick, or external drive, so that is an additional bonus

some people have had issues scanning for chanels, again well documented in posts on this forum, but has been diagnosed as a FW issues, and hopefully to be resolved in future updates

hope it helps, up to you in the end

regards

okay cheers, i may consider the HD one then, do you reccommend an external hard drive for recording?

[lincsat]

I would recommend a USB2 caddy for recording rather than a Key-drive, the Key-drives are sometimes not quick enough for HD recording
