hi can anyone help or offer any idea, i want to get a eurovox or similar box i used to be on v****n, i've checked the signal coming in by connecting to friends v****n box and nothing, is there anyway of getting the signal reconnected without going through the subscription proses, or is there a box that can work with sky if so what is it and how do i get it to work.
sorry i am a bit of a idiot and dont know alot about this sort of thing so any help would be much appreciated, or if somone was living in the kent area and new how to reconnect a cable supply please let me know
thanks very much in advance.

you need to have a live connection,or if you no a engineer that works for them he could turn ur connection back on through the nearest box where you live.

Sounds like they have disconnected you from the cabinet (green box in your street). Unless you know an engineer like has already been said then theres nowt you can do. Those cabinet have special keys to get into them and you also need a special tool to connect your cable back to the tap ports. Inside those cabinets its a maze of cabling and unless you know what youre looking for and if everything is labeled correctly, which its not always, its hard to know what youre doing.

no mate there is no box that does sky,the only thing you can do is get the basic vir*** package.

There is something possible with S*y my friend has it. I will find out more details and let you know.. I think it's a Dre*mbox and he pays a subscription fee of £160 a year. It seems to work through a broadband connection.. I will find out more and let you know :)

all you need is an allen key.....to gain access to the green/grey box on the street....once inside,each cable has a number on it..the number will represent the house door number...some will be unplugged,some plugged...you can easily just plug yours in......but,before you do that,let me warn you...it is illegal to do so,and i do not encourage you to do so...you might have the local nick knocking on your door,and also you may draw unwanted attention to all those on your street that are obtaining channels for free!!!...grab your self a quantum satellite reciver to gain 5000 channels free or a motorised technomate reciever to get 10000 channels free...fro all overthe world!!

be advised that clones have been made of eurovox and starviews and no support for updating them as original firmware will not work on those ones.digivox xl not cloned,
all boxes sold are freeview they will need updating.
