    Help With Eurovox Ex5100

    Hi i am looking to buy a Eurovox EX5100, i have found a website that sells them:
    Eurovox Ex5100 | Eurovox Ex5100 Pvr | Eurovox Pvr | Eurovox Hard drive

    I am just wondering if anyone knows if these boxes come already with firmware on them? (plug and play sort of thing)

    Also if anyone knows if these are genuine boxes?

    Also if anyone has any other websites they know of where to get this box from?

    Sorry bit of a novice on this thing thought id ask people that know with experience

    Thanks Skillwill2002

              Very shortly none, so save your money

              THE TRUTH
              The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
              Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
              The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                          Virgin are changing to an encryption that is very secure and is locked down.. These boxes will only be able to decode BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4 & Five after the change over..

                          After the changeover to N3 you will need an official Virgin box and subscription to view encrypted channels

                                  VM are in the process of implementing N3 now.. some areas have migrated already..

                                  Use the virgin line and don't pay for it..??

                                  I take it by that you mean you have a cable line into your house from a previous owner or old service you no longer pay for..

                                  Without official Virgin products you wont get anything.. TV, Broadband or Phone
