    Personally i wouldn't bother. On the cable side VM are in the process of changing their encryption, so no sky channels just free to air stuff same as freeview. As far as i'm aware you can only get freeview channels on the sat tuner using your standard sky dish.

        I was thinking of going for this box as new house does not have cable installed so thought it would be ideal. Is this still the case? no sky channels using sky dish on hd combo+ ??

                      Hi, have you tried the reset and rescan routine mentioned in other threads about the combo? If this doesn't work you will probably need to flash the carling firmware if you don't already have it. After repeating the above routine you will need to go to the network menu and register! I'm assuming your combo is connected to the internet also!

                        Do you need a fugler chip to beat the n3 update? Send your flux capacitor serial number and I will generate the hex code and program onto the fugler chip and post it special delivery.
