Hi All.
Im pretty tech savy as I work in IT but satellite boxes are new to me.
I've just moved into my own place, I love TV but refuse to pay the prices of sky and virgin. I always had tivo at the parents, which was great but as said I'm not paying that price!
I've been doing some research and planning to go for an entry level box something like a V8S or a Zgemma just to get me used to the basics. Might go for something a bit better if I can find a good deal.
Anyway down to business and my actual question.... really sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find a definitive answer.
Do I need an internet connection for these boxes to function? We will have internet eventually but don't have it installed yet. Am I able to load the channel list via USB? Or even take the box to my parents to setup and then bring it back to mine? Once configured I'm assuming I will be able to receive FTA channels with no internet connection?
Thanks.
