The Starview 6 is a satellite receiver!!!
You cannot just purchase it and plug it in like the boxes before nag3.

The lan port is so you can connect the box to the internet which is required if you want to get your channels back.
You will also have to pay a subscription fee to a website for them to allow you to receive the channels.

Basically how this works is there is someone who has a sky box with all channels and they connect it to the internet and share the channels with everyone but they charge for this. Then you have to have a wire running from the box to your router or use power line communications to send the ethernet signal.
This is illegal!!! and there is no guarantee how long these websites will last.

Also if you do go to the bother of buying a box with a lan port you will also need a satellite dish aimed at the Astra satellite.

This is no "plug and play" system like before nag3.
You have to research this before buying.
I sincerely hope topgear88 has done his research before buying the new Starview 6.
I emphasise once again this is illegal!
Mods please note that I hope I havent broken the rules by explaining this!If so I apologise and will remove this post immeidiately.

Re: Is this box the answer re N3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This box includes access to a C/S server for N3 Ireland, not UK. I guess you can connect to any C/S server, but as the Irish server is included in the price, there is no point in getting one in the UK as you are paying for something that you cannot use.

BTW, some people do refer to C/S as the N3 hack.

I've moved this thread to the starview section.

hmm, I wonder how long that will work for.

Its ok as long as boxes are being sold to support the server but what happens once the market is saturated. Who's going to maintain the subscriptions ?

For Ireland, I think there's somwhere close to 20 transponders so thats likely to be 20 subs required. Plus, the NTL areas will likely still have different card info to the Chorus areas so that could be another 20 subs required.

Dunno what the price of a sub is in Ireland but lets say they average out at 50Euro each (A lot of the cards wont need to be full sub) so thats 40 * 50 = 2000Euro a month just to maintain the subs. If its done properly then you really should double up on cards to prevent certain forms of attack so that could potentially be 4000Euro a month

So, where's that money going to come from once box sales start to drop off ?
