Really newbie Eurovox ex500 question

[Lanxman]

Yeah thats the only thing holding me back tbh mate (the changes) I'm not going to waste money for one hd channel unless I had some sort of idea if the box was going to be future proof or not (Able to handle the changes) I'm holding back for the moment at least until after things change.

[HiTeck]

That's the best way to go for the time being mate me thinks

[Lanxman]

I think it will be at least another year anyway before any of these changes are implemented and the same goes for the extra hd channels that are coming to vm. Apologies Mika for Hijacking your thread mate!

Lanxman and HiTeck. Could you tell me what these changes are you too are talking about

Thanks

[Lanxman]

The changes mentioned around the forums are that vm are changing the encryption methods of the premium channels which people speculate will render eurovox's and starviews useless. These changes are inevitable but My take on it is it won't happen for another year yet so if you buy a box it will still be worth it for a year of free viewing. If you want to look more in to it search the forums for Nagra 3.

Thanks Lanxman will have a read up on it

Thanks

[Lanxman]

No problem mika, If these changes worry you and you're not bothered about recording then go for the ex1000sl mate it's a cheaper option.

[shaft1973]

also being new to this does the ex5000 work the same way as sky plus record two programs and watch one you have already recorded only with the added benefits

[Lanxman]

No the ex5000 doesn't have a dual tuner you can only record one program at a time and you can't watch another channel whilst recording.

[HiTeck]

Unless it's on the same transponder, then you can record and watch another channel but fairly limited in comparison to a sky plus box.
