    Starview 4 broadband connection

    I am looking at buying a starview 4 box but need advice first if I can. I have a 20Mb broadband cable connection from VM and I have been informed that I can just connect the coaxe cable to the starview box and when configured correctly I should be able to get all the TV channels. Is this correct or do I have to subscribe to the TV package first ( which I am looking into but not decided on which yet ). I picked the Starview because it looks like it would be easy to keep updated ( USB ) and I aslo use a media Hard drive plugged into my TV to watch AVI DIX programs. Any advice would be grateful. Thanks

      VM BB will do just use a good quality splitter.

              Starview 4 USB Feedback

              Hi me again just thought I would give some feedback that may help people with there Starview 4 USB cable box.

              1. The Starview arrived and I plug in the cable and TV switched on and got freeview.
              2. Downloaded the firmware ( 1.01 and 1.02 ) put it on my USB stick and connected to back of box.
              3. Followed the install instructions and worked a treate. I used 1.01 by the way.

              I used a cable splitter to feed my modem and input to a TV booster for my TV's. Connected my external ariel and the VM cable into a Y splitter then into my TV amp. Plugged the TV ariel from the TV into the Cable box then TV. The signal is not grate but I seem to get all thenchannels.

              I am supposed to get Sky 1 and 2 ?, I do get all the Sky sports.

              P.S. I have seen that the new firmware is in test.
              Hope this helps someone out. But please remember I an VERY new to this.

                  Thanks for the feedback. In the UK you will not receive Sly 1, 2, news etc on cable.

                          you couldnt when satsmo posted above, as virgin and sky had a spat.
                          you can now and a scan should pick them up. try scanning without any splitters
