[lady tina]

what is the best box available at the moment to access channels in southern ireland thanks

[mtv1]

hi not a good time to be considering any box in Ireland but kryptview dreambox itgate boxes still working need help i'm around

[lady tina]

will have to bite the bullet,just wondering which will be the safest bet,have been using a ex5000pvr,wouldnt want to get something to technical......any advice greatly recevied......

[satsmo]

If the EX5000 is genuine I would wait for a little bit longer as there may be something in the pipeline for that box in Ireland. Thats all I can give for now as I am waiting on confirmation.

[lady tina]

tks,will hold on a bit longer so...hope it will be worth it.........
if it dosnt happen which alternitave would best suit me

[satsmo]

You don't believe me Cannot blame you given the time it has already taken.

There are other alternates, but are you looking for a PVR similar to the EX5000?

[Evastar]

I have heard the same as you satsmo, should be out soon.

Not sure which models though.

[lady tina]

its not that your not belived,can only imagine how tuff it must be..........was just making general enquires about an altenative...after all the football season will soon be starting...

[satsmo]

My response was edging more on the satirical side Do you want a recommended PVR that is plug and play or a standard box for just watching the TV?

[satsmo]

I have heard the same as you satsmo, should be out soon.

Not sure which models though.

Genuine 5000s should be one of the models that get done. But still awaiting confirmation. A few things have to be sorted first.

Hi Guys,
New to the site. My mate in Dublin got a fix here for the D-Box. Working fine with download.
Just wondering is any fix out for Eurovox -max. I see an update as of June this year..is that worth trying

[lady tina]

would prefur a plug and play pvr,even though im only using ex5000 at the moment to watch tv..will hang on a bit longer,but would like to upgrade in the future.....

[satsmo]

The 5000 is a decent enough plug and play box. If you would like to upgrade I would recommend an open sourced box with PVR facilities or mount your own drive on non PVR. DM600c, Itgate, etc are examples of some linux based PVRs. There are many more.

For plug and play in Ireland as an alternate to the Eurovox there is the Starview 4 USB, it is currently working in Ireland but took quite a while for a firmware fix.

There may be other alternates coming to market soon.

Welcome to the forum the Max V will work on the Ch0r&s network and Ntl MMDS in Ireland as they still simulcast on the N1, 2 and 3 streams. It will not work on Ntl cable in Ireland which sounds like you are on? There is no fix for that particular box on that set up in Irealnd.

Thanks for the quick response. I got my hopes up when I heard of the fix for the D-box. I'm OK at the moment , working away on Ch*****s, but my daughter is on N8L and has lost most of the channels.
Do you think they'll bother with a fix at this stage or wait for Naga 3 ?
