FTA and Freeview are different animals. After N3, yer eurovox will give you channels 1-5 but not all the Freeview channels which most LCDs have built-in these days. Eurovox will be thicker than yer tele. You can record Eastenders on yer HD but not even anything on ITV3

The freeview channels will be as blank as SS1 and no firmware will cure it. you need no "software" to watch/record BBc1 to Channel 5

you're on a no chancer there - it would be sold as a FTA box which just happens to decode encrypted channels I'm arfraid - sorry the bad news but you got 5 moths freebie out of it

sorry 49 - it will give you FTA under warranty so you can enjoy BBC1-Channel 5, little chance Freeviiew/VM encrypted channels for much longer.

Please re-read what you bought. I'm not a seller but know anybody that sold you anyithing other than a FTA would be in the clink just now as Sir Tricky Dicky tried that trick as N3 was a while away and everybody was just stealing.

Your box was a FTA that just happened to have the firmware on it to decode Nag1

Please don't shoot the messenger

If you need Freeview- switch off the Eurovox as your LCD will probably give you Eastenders and ITV3
