Have I got This Right ???

[RiPPeR]

Ive been a SV4 user for a while until N3 jumped in and ruined it .

I'm trying to decide whether to go for the SV6 or 7 or the KV780, So have I got this right?

KV is the better one to go for?
When I have got the KV, I need to connect to the modem for the codes to get sports/movies etc?
When connected all that goes through the modem is the codes and not any streaming?
I will need to buy the cables to alter the FW before it will even work at all ?

I have been reading for days but as im a newb with this stuff ive just got so confused

Thx

pretty much yes

[RiPPeR]

pretty much yes

Thanks thewizardofodds,

Is there anything else you think i might need to know?

Also where would i get these cables from? I'd need the usb one as my laptop only has USB.

I was OK with the SV4 as it was easy this just all seems way too hard lmao

Thanks

I am a fully qualified Technophobe mate and doing the Biz on KV is childs play once the cables are in, away you go, job done, I didn't use the YouTube Vid, but have heard it's foolproof.

Cheers for the vid, that will help alot.

One thing i would like toknow is what leads do i need to connect my laptop (it doesnt have a 9 pin) via USB, and how easy is doing the updates etc?

Any idea where i can get the cable from?

I have a Cable connection upstairs and down stairs so is there a way to get 2 boxes to work one via ethernet and one via these homeplugs? Would that be a easy setup too ?

Thanks again for all the info
