Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 777 Registered: Oct-05 | No..its a FTA receiver for Europe!...but not sure what they mean by "cable providers"..think its means it'll get the TRUE FREE channels that cable and satellite systems both have on their satellite dishes..I imagine cable must use satellites also to pull in various signals,so that they can next run the signals/channels via cable to your homes..sounds good to me,but I know jack about cable...LOL This is a Free to Air Satellite receiver that works on all cable providers in the UK. There is a software download required this is an auto upgrade system and no card is required. Please note it is your responsibility to make sure you are operating within the boundaries of EU and UK law. |
New member Username: FerrittPost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-05 | Yeah thats right. My cable provider is NTL. There only provide me with the broadband internet, But when you plug the same cable into this receiver box you get all the free channels plus pay-per-view etc etc... But stoped working 2 days ago. So i think the keys need to updated or the flash needs to be updated. i just can't find any info on it anywhere. cheers |
