And a rough price please someone...may convert.... But just may... Loyal till my 780 packs up but could be good for boxing...! Oh sorry and i take it sub's are involved..!
 
Last edited:
yes subs are involved if cams are used on sat or cable but pub wants freeview on both lol
kv and sv left here with n3 arrival.
 
but if you want hd on cable.
asked the boss for a cable request section for the extra bit as with all these new boxes will get more popular.
 
Hi dunno if I can post this here. Can you get a cable box to do the same as the sat? (Minus hd lol) If so what would I need to do? And what channels? If someone could PM me it would help. Thanks
 
why do you think i posted a list of cable boxes as they work on cable provider with hd,box needs to be bought and line entered unsure if anything else is needed as i dont have any lol.
 
I have a Duo2 box, would i just need to buy the DVB C/T Tuner, rescan the channels and use my current line for it to work like cable to watch HD channels or am i missing something?
 
i would say your missing more,think you need a cable xml file first to add to cable section not sat on box and a different line remember current line is for sat and wont work on cable.

Is there any chance that someone could post me a tutorial on this and point me in the right direction please..... Many thanks in advance
 
i would say your missing more,think you need a cable xml file first to add to cable section not sat on box and a different line remember current line is for sat and wont work on cable.

Okay, different line, cable tuner and cable xml file, anything else would i need?
 
I have just got the mini hd T2/C, cost £50, great little box. You need a bit of local area info to get going with tp,s and qam etc, but I got mine through experimentation. f/w is readily available and the choice of servers is growing by the week. The picture is good but requires a bit of set up as the default settings are bright and everyone looks orange (that said it takes 5 mins to sort). Great value for money. Nearly bought the blade combo at 3 times this price....phew!
 
could you do a setup of when you got box and if there is a number or name of firmware needed for this model as the more info we get will sell box by itself and help others,how did you find scanning? cheers.
 
Hello all,

currently own a Kryptview, thinking of going for a cheapo box, anyone can advise where I can get a line?

Br,
AJ
