    Newbie Help Needed

    Hi everyone.
    I have a few questions.

    i have done a lot of reading and i am a little confused.

    1) i realise that the only free way to get vermin is to use kryptview. is this correct?

    if so do i have to buy a kryptview A780 box or can i buy Starview HD box combo with LAN.

    The only reason i ask is that it seems like the cable hack scene may go down permanently. if this is the case then i can use the starview box for satellite sly channels via a minidish. The only problem with the sat scene is that there is a yearly subscription whilst there is not one for the cable scene.

    Please can you confirm if the above paragraph info is correct or have i got confused again!

    2) is there any other way to get vermin or even sly free i.e no subscriptions.

    if so, what boxes are required and what equipment.

    3) are the boxes mentioned above i.e the A780, starview combo reliable and what is the quality of picture.

    if they are not that good, what better alternatives are there?

    4) i have read tutorials on how to setup krptview box and how to flash it with a null cable. Can you direct me to a reliable and easy to follow tutorial for kryptvie and starview boxes for cable.

    5) i note that you need to connect ethernet cable to router and box but is there anything else i need to do i.e some kind of login or password/ registratyion. can you explain purpose of ethernet cable and whether there is a server or something i have to log onto?

    6) For cable access to vermin i believe i need the following equipment:

    kryptview/starview box
    null cable
    ethernet wire
    internet connection

    is the above correct.

    I thank you in advance for any help.

    p.s i'm in an n3 area and all channels have gone off except for a few fta channels.

    Thanks.

    alot of questions....
    i can only comment on a780 as that is the box i have.
    the list of equipment needed you have listed is correct....
    it would appear to be very reliable (with occasional glitches very occasional)

    once the box is flashed, you simply connect box to vermin cable feed and internet. (box automatically connects to server, basically plug and play after flashing and channel scanning)
    no logins/passwords/cards/subs,nuthin just plug it in....

    flashing and scanning is childs play...
    if you buy one , finding tuts/ help will be no problem at all

    hope this answers some of your questions...
