Tried searching for ages now. I am wanting to buy a box that enables me to watch football,movies,music for free etc. Is this possible? which box would you reccomend? how easy is it to set up and where can i get instructions to set it up? thanks

You should find how to set up a dreambox if thats what you buy ( although it will be clone as they dont make them anymore IIRC ) on the red stickie threads in this forum.
Theres some real easy to follow instructions in them.

You mean Sly Sports and Shetanta? If your looking for European signals you want a 500s and a satellite set-up with card sharing.

if you are simply after free cable tv go for the arnet kryptview box. simple to set up and the box is the best supported on the market.

go to the kryptview section for details to flash the box.

thanks for your help here. WHat do you mean if i "simply" want cable tv? what other options are there and what is "simply" cable tv? thanks

I am assuming that you live in a cable area?? If you do then you will be able to buy a box that will allow you to watch all channels which are shown on that network. This includes all sports, movies, adult, ppv boxing/wrestling etc. You cannot purchase/view vod event though (i.e. order a film or watch sky sports interactive). imo the kryptview is the best plug and play box on the market by some distance.

the dreambox (which is where you have posted this thread) allows you to watch all the same channels but also allows you to record to your pc or stream over a network. a little more work is required to set up these features though.

if you are not in a cable area then your only other option (apart from freeview) would be satellite. dont have a sat but if you read/post in that section you will get all the info your after. without cardshare though you wont get sky sports to the best of my knowledge.

hope this helps.

OK i presume I am in a cable area as next door to me they have virgin media television, does that mean I am in a cable area? So I buy this box, all i have to do is connect it to the tv, do a search/scan for the channels and then they will be on there forever. thanks for your help
