Hello All

I'm new to this forum and I'm jiust wondering If I can view skysports and ESPN with the eurovox 7000 hd box. All I have now is a full HD tv with a freeview installed in it. So, I would like to know if i can view Skysports with it (not necessarily on HD).

Please advise if it's a good buy

Virgin broadcast ESPN in SD and HD but they only broadcast Sky Sports in SD...

You can watch the ESPN channels including ESPN HD and skysports but not in HD you just get skysports 1 2 3 and xtra

Ok, thanks for the reply...

But you're talking to a dumb person here...What is a SD?

So, I can watch Skysports (on SD I mean) with the eurovox 7000? Can you please also tell me if I there is any other HD channels that can be viewed?

Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

SD = Standard Definition
HD = High Definition

Cable only offer the following channels in HD at the moment although they are promising more soon,

BBC HD
Channel 4 HD
FX HD
MTV HD
ESPN HD
National Geographic HD
Living HD is coming soon

The box however does upscale, so you will probably notice a better picture quality even with the SD channels.

Thanks for the instant reply Footieman...

I don't mind watching Sky sports in SD as long as I receive the channel.

So I take it as I would receive all the channels possible, but only the above mentioned channel in HD, am I right?

footieman · 18-08-09, 09:04 PM

Yeah am afraid so.

prabhuuu · 18-08-09, 09:10 PM

Thanks again

I have also seen a lot of posts about flashed and un-flased? What is this all about?

waqasahmed · 18-08-09, 09:16 PM

flashed is when the box is updated to the latest fix and unflashed when its sold legally

Bear in mind you only get 6 HD channels with the EX7000HD

prabhuuu · 18-08-09, 09:19 PM

Did you mean Unflashed is sold illegally?

Because both seems good...both flashed and unflashed
