    I am no pro with cable but If you want to watch channels which you are not currently paying for then you will need to download the 1.1a kuru software and this should allow you to do so. However if you want to use your sub card then you will need to buy a receiver which has a card slot.
    The best eurovox at the moment is the ex5000pvr but this will still work with the others.

      Hi i live in the north east and have a eurovox max 2008 (black) got it from ebay worked mint for 4 weeks then all i get is no signal and lost lots of channels now.Think this has something to do with virgin as my orginal box is crashing all the time.lots to choose from but couple of friends have older boxes and they say there fine to. Just watch out for clone boxes. hope this helps

          that sounds like a signal problem. try this Buy 1 Way Plug-In Aerial Booster. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for . from Argos. if it don't work, take it back. ahh the joy of a 14 day guarantee.

              personally just get yousrself a cheap eurovox piece of piss easy to manage i wouldnt bother paying the extra for the pvr because it only has one tuner and you cant record 2 channels like you can on sky+

              mine works sound in n east

                    you`ll just need the hacked firmware and hey presto you hace all the channels. but still keep ur sub with VM. it is nice to pay a little back for services even if it is the smallest package.
