Default Which Box to get?

Hello,

I am new to this, I currently subscripe to VM and wanted to get a box that would allow more than FTA channels and more!!!!

My mate currently has a DBOX which allows accessing to all channels, and I was wondering if a DBOX is the best route to follow.

Any advice appreicated.

Regads

Dirk

Hi

Depends what you want to be able to do as with dbox you can do a lot more than just watch tv so therefore its the dogs but if its just simple cable tv viewing you want then would suggest the kryptview......saying that wouldnt like to recommend any boxes to anyone at moment as not sure wether now would be a right time of buying a box as there is talk of imminent changes that would render boxes useless. Exactly when I dont think anyone knows for sure.

If you read around you wil know what I mean.

Regards
