Hello

I will apologise for this in advance because I feel proper stupid asking but.....

I have just bought a DBox DV3 to use with my Virgin Media subscription.

The box is set up to use but I can not plug my Virgin Media cable into it, there is no where to plug it in.

The connection is an f-plug (I think) but the only input I can see on the DBox is the old style aerial cable.

Am I missing something? What do I need to do?

you need a belling lee socket to f-plug adaptor(maplin? or the bay) but you do know the network is slowly going over to nagra3 which will make your box pretty useless..?

Mmmmmm, no idea what Nagra3 is.

Never used one of these boxes in my life.

Why will it be useless?
