I am new to techtronix so a quick hello to everyone!!

Can service providers detect you are useing a eurovox/dbox if so how?

I am considering buying one but am a bit apprehensive as to whether they are detectable or not?

Anyone help?:ermm:

Almost impossible to detect

rothers · 06-09-06, 10:50 PM

Have you got that from a reliable source?

Hi can you tell me what you mean by almost impossible to dectect ?????

The dbox does not put out any signal on the line so can't be detected remotely. It could possibly be detected by looking through your window or if you talk about it and are overheard!

just buy one and keep yer trap shut, simple as that

I presume the fta and the eurovox are the same then,they dont give out a signal remotely either?

the boxes supplied by cable companies give out a signal called talkback, third party boxes are not the property of cable companies so they do not have this talkkback feature enabled

Would it be adviseable to link both boxes to my cable supply so they can still communicate with my box or is that not necassary?

If you have a subscribed box you must keep it connected to the feed, it regularly communicates back to the cableco and they would soon know something was going on if it went quiet for a prolonged period.
