Question:Flashing any box...??

[no1wonder11]

Hey people, I'm sorry to wate your time with this stupid question..but thats the things with noobs .

My question is that, if i was to go and buy a tv box, say eurvox or dreambox. would i have to open it up and modify it before i would be able to view channels such as sly sports and sly movies? or would i just have to program it straight away and they would all work?

Thanks for the help, Chris

You would need to flash it with the correct firmware.
Dont bother though mate as its all getting switched off sometime this year.

no you dont need to open it you just need to connect it to a pc with the appropriate cable

but tbh i wouldnt buy a cable box at the minute (especially non linux) they are living on borrowed time
