i have a cunning plan.... for freeish TV

[Mubz]

dunno if this is would work or not....

my sister went on holiday a few weeks so i took her Vermin+ box and stuck on my feed, two weeks of footy and discovery... sweeeeet

soooo i was wondering if there would be any impacations if my sister got another Verman box for her 'other room' about a 3 miles down the road...

a worker? or would the differance in postcode through up alarm bells???

[tigger001]

A Worker for sure

[barrowmanandrew]

it would probably work m8.
you might need to take your box back once a month to call home....

[dictap]

I was under the impression that this was only safe if you were both on the same cab, please correct me if i'm wrong

[chris31560]

nothing to do with cabs m8, its area,s/net id,s if the box worked ok and u said it did no probs, but to be safe stick it back on home line every so often.....

[Mubz]

sweet guys....
footy her i come

[gmb45]

well when i moved hoose i took vm equipment with me, when the vm "engineer" and i use the term engineer loosely came to re-install me he told me the boxes go on post code areas. how true this is i dont know. let us know how you go on m8.

what will sticking it back in the original place do?

[chris31560]

hi m8 when box is on ur own line it talks back to vermin, but dont worry it doesant need to t/b all the time just evrey so often hence put box back on evey 4 weeks or so job sorted....

[standarren]

surely if the box is connected to his feed without subscribing the alarms bells will ring
especialy if he isnt suppose to have any equipment connected

Not if he is on the same uBR as where the sub originates from.

I think you are right about that cause when a friend of mine was sent a box to self install it would not work and when the engineer came he said box was for wrong area..

UBR: Universal Broadband Router,as per Cisco's definition, or also known as CMTS: Cable Modem Termination Server.

There are many ways to find out which one you are on, this is one way:
