hi guys.

before you post your answers please note:

i am a newbie. i dont know anything about tvs or sateliites and stuff like.

on your answers please dont use words that only a person familiar with stuff like would know as i will not understand it.

right.

i am moving to a new flat, and at the moment i cant afford to pay for digital tv. i know someone that is selling a chipped box for £150, and i cannot afford that either, therefore i would like to know how to do it myself.

can anyone give me detailed step by step instructions on how to chip a virgin box. this includes the stuff that i need to buy to actually do it.

at the moment i have nothing. when i say that i mean i dont have a virgin box to chip. and i dont know wether the flat i am moving to has a live connection.

so please give me step by step instructions on how to do it. #

and remember, i am a newbie.

thanks

Well let me be the first on this.........................

NO1 IS GOING TO HELP YOU.

Why dont you search for the answers. No one is going to spoonfeed you this info.

I have seen a few requets like this,but I have to say, yours is the rudest and cheekiest so far................

Good Luck

Cant afford digital TV ??? A Freeview Digibox for Digital TV can be bought for less than 20 quid ...

Before you even consider the cable TV route and wasting time researching the ins and out of how and what, why not first wait and see if this new flat has Cable wired to it, and if not then find out if it can even get Cable ...

What area r u in? Im not 100% but i think ur box needs Net Id setting in it if your in pure u can do it automatically if not you will need to do it via the funcard method. Its all in the cable section.

You're in leeds 14? Most likely, you will live in a cable area.The Eurovox's dont require you to jtag them unless you purchase a clone
