Anyone got one

My bro in law brought one round over xmas, over 200 channels

how do they work, and how long will they last for?

or cant they be blocked etc ?

I've had mine for 8 months with no probs mate.
Just plug in and scan...............

I've had a two and now got a three. They unscramble the signal without the need of a subscription or card and you just get free tv.

They can't be blocked either.

thanks, didnt fancy getting one, and then it 'going off' so to speak

like the old days of 'on digitial'

whats the difference between a 2 and a 3

Ive noticed the price has gone up now from 120 to 129 (last week) to now 149 with free postage if using paypal

Call me dense, but how does it work? do you have to have a motorised dish?

WOn't be long before the thread's taken off

But they are reliable - only on cable tho. They are pre-programmed with new firmware which allows you to scan the broadcast channels from your local cable co and watch them. They have an auto-update feature which keeps updating the code regularly and rumours are the cable co's know you have one but ideally you should have a minimum subscription. To completely disable a box they'd need to re-jig their whole system so up till now they're lumbered!

I do know of a supplier who can supply for £130 if anybody wants a reliable source - just PM me.

cheers

The only difference is cosmetic, the three is meant to have better software but I couldn't tell the difference. I only upgraded due to it having a full working EPG. In the end it was just the same as the old EPG.
Thankfully now, both have updated software and you can get a full EPG in all area's.

Don't pay around £140 for one though, I'll search for the place I bought mine from and i'll pm you the link

i'm with nthell and for the next week i'm still on analogue - next tuesday they're swapping to digital so i'll lose the free channels i have with my modified analogue box.
If i bought 1 of these will it just plug in and what channels would i get (movies/ sports/ etc)?

If anyone could pm me a link to where i could buy 1 from i'd be grateful

Cheers

AFAIK it will just plug straight in, and you will get basically around 230 channels or more, all movies, sports and adult channels

just eurovox on ebay

robby

excellent - so i just ask for the basic digital nthell package then use this box instead

thanks

So this is for cable TV, not digital terrestrial?

robby

ok so i was talking to some1 (know it all) who says the best system is a D2, he can get them for £180 but as the others are £140 would it be worth the extra?
