    why pay to get it sorted...all the info you need is right Here in the red stickeys
    with a bit of reading and purchase a cable or 2 you can do it yourself
    and if you get stuck just post what you have done so far and lots of help available ...

        Hi All,

        I'm just looking into getting a cable box and am unsure of what way to go, just looking for something basic. A neighbour reccommended Eurovox 1100, anyone know if they are any good?

        thanks

          which box

          hi, dont have one of these boxs but its as good as any. id choose a sv4 or 5 for a beginner as you can update the firmware via usb stick but the choice is yours. good luck

            The dreambox is the easiest to upgrade software and is very easy to do. Keep it plugged into a router and flash/FTP wirelessly from any pc/laptop on your network.

              Personally I think it all depends what you want to do. If its just plug & play tv, then prob best look at a Starview 5. If you want to do other stuff look at the range of dreamboxes, like Red Devil stated, have a read round 7 check out all the stickies.
