[doreensb]

Happy NY to everyone on DK, just a quick one for you experts, a mate has asked me to see if I can set up his NON LAN box he purchased as one of those first 500 boxes to CS using his cable connection, i am not sure of the answer and always get something good from you guys, can we buy an adapter for the serial port to lan?? any suggestions appreciated

KV connects to public server via LAN to decrypt channels. There
is no public server for DM800HD cable box, so unless you can
find private server you won't get channels with this box.
You may have to wait until other HD boxes come on the market.
There are many servers for DM800HD satellite boxes if you have
a sat dish

hi emao 2 thanks for the update, i did have sly and still have a dish outside, would this be what i need for the sat version of the DM800hd, it does not move though which i thought would be a problem with setting up the satalite version?? thanks again for your help

the sly dish will do fine for sly Uk-Eire if you are looking for other sats then you will need a motorized set up can be got cheap if needed ..sorry eamo for jumping in a bit bored at the mo

As MTV says S*Y dish is fine if you only want s*y UK channels.
You might ask some of the boys here to recommend a good
server with reasonable rates. I would post that query in the
satellite section.

Don't ever worry about jumping in on a thread MTV. The more
input to threads the better. If I ever mislead anyone or misinform
them in a post do please correct me. I will not be offended in any
way
