Advertised on the net, but does it work and is it legal?

On-the-bog

Yeh great piece of kit had mine over 3 years with all the channels no probs just get a code thingie every year my little bro sorts it all for me as I'm useless at technology I just do the viewing paid £60 for the box and the codes are a couple of quid a year

JackClark

Got some speakers here guv, left over from a trade show, you can see them in this magazine ad for £3,000 yours for £300. Totally legit and legal. I accept bitcoin.

id have no trouble cheating on sky , but who actually needs that much more dross in their lives

ZANY

Sorry to go off topic but What does dross mean?

On-the-bog

the crap that's scrapped off the top when metal is melted for casting.

dpb

Don't mean to offend Zany , its just that whenever iv encountered sky in other peoples houses its appears to be more of/repeated / usually worst of stuff from other outlets . Maybe I'm wrong ?

JackClark

You're not wrong, it's moronic paying more than the licence fee, even £60 and a few quid a year to pirates is dumb. It's the drug of the nation.

dpb

Any different than being addicted to fruit ?

ZANY

something new learnt this year

ZANY

£60 for the box three years ago jack and it's about £2.50 a year for the code I'm happy as I get nicktoons on for the kids to watch they love spongebob and Sanjay&craig I hardly watch telly myself to be honest

ZANY

No offence taken pal I hardly watch the telly/news etc scoobynet is much more entertaining than telly I reckon

Just had a look at sat tech uk . Is the box the zgemma ? There are two which one would be right .is anything else needed. Or can someone point me in the direction of a better option .

I have sky which is really a waste of time for me i usually watch boxsets or films via my phone to the tv using chromecast . But that box soumds like a good way to get rid of the sky subscription and keep the kids and missus happy

One box is for a virgin feed and the other a sky feed, so you'll need either virgin or sky broadband cos it plugs straight into your router with an ethernet cable
Yeah it's a zgemma box

So if my router is on the dining room and the TV is metres away in the lounge, what's my option?

I've seen these things that plug into and use the house ring main for ethernet, but a friend has recently told me that any chargers plugged in disrupt it?

JackClark

Sticking with the spirit of the thread you have two choices.

1. Use those plugs, you can steal them from Maplins, they're **** so why would anyone have to pay for them.
2. Get a carpet fitter in to lift your carpet, put in some Ethernet and the put it back down. Obviously pay by cheque and bounce it, or just ignore an invoice.

ive got a set of the plug in ethernet adaptors and they have been great. they stream hi def video etc with no problems to my projector in the bedroom. these ones here : http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/tp-link-av...pter-kit-n45nt they say 500mbps which actually is around 65Mbps which is more than enough for most hi def video or streams and internet etc. like a mug i thought that they were ******* great so i paid for them, silly me eh??

Message them asking if that will work with the sender, if not get a bloody long ethernet cable or move your router

I take it these boxes work by connecting to a cardsharing server?

If they're anything like the OpenBox I used to have, don't bother. Picture freezes, glitches all the time and I tried a few different providers.

Wonder when someone will crack Nagra3?
