Hi mate basically just connect your modem to your router > router to sv6, if I was you I'd purchase either Internet or tv (minimum package ofcourse) or even both off virgin as everyone who who just free loaded off virgin with Eurovox or other box alike and dodgy Internet are the people who ****ed the goose that laid the golden egg! If everyone paid a little nag3 would likely never have being implemented!

Hi guys I am new to this & new to these boxes I am purchasing the Starview 6 The Box Super USB LAN.
I have no idea what to do when I receive it to enable it to get any channels other than free-view which comes pre - installed.
can someone please explain in step by step simple terms what I need to do. I currently receive TV XL, broadband L & phone M through VM. I have no intentions of reducing my package just want more for my money.
Please help & remember I am a virgin to this so please be gentle.

I have just done mine by following the instrucions from the main starview page message number 2 in HD combo Lan & Non Lan,( In Red Writig).
1) Download the file onto a formated ( FAT 32)USB stick or something like that,
The file u need is located on a link at the bottom of message 2 In Blue.
Something like carling file which is the file if you are in the UK,
Ireland uses a different file so you will have to do a search for that on this site if you are there,
2) connect your new box to your supplie cable & connect your Ethernet cable to your Router & SV6 Box,
3) put in your USB in the back of the Box BEFORE turning on the Box,
4) then follow the instructions in the message 2 how to get the channells ,
If anyone can had anymore please do.

better to stay with minimum package as signal has to be higher.
