Posted in sat section by mistake.

A friend told me some of the old cable boxes are working again.

Are they?

I have a starview 2 and a Eurovox HD 7000.

My m8 has a old box and I know his is working but I cant rem the name of it.
 
unless they went fta,you cant view as those boxes have no lan port.
 
i seen a few posts about this a while ago.
it was claimed that these old boxes were clearing some premium channels.

it was only certain channels in certain area's

speculation was that for one reason or another, vermin had dropped the encryption. maybe doing maintanence or that.
 
My firend has a Eurovox Max I think its called and he gets the freeview channels but now and again he gets the likes of Sky Sports. He is from Newcastle.

Does the Eurovox 700 have a lan port I cant rem?

Also what is a FTA @cactikid?

what do they call them the 1-5 channels,+ encrypted ones left open by mistake for a very short time,all pre n3 boxes did not have lan,can you remember shouts saying " need new codes" they rolled again :Laugh:
 
all boxes now need cable and internet,so empty your cupboards and attic and dump them

That's a bold statement

I can name 2 boxs that were pre n3 and have LAN
Dm500c
Dm600c
Dbox
Dbox2

Shit more than 2 there lol
 
meant more like starview,digivox,eurovox,early kryptview 700 for the masses,dm500c and others were more for the enthusiast not the newbie,sure the 500c still works
it all depends what people mass bought.
 
If anybody ever tells you the old boxes are working again, hit them in the face with a frying pan. Virmin would have had to drop the encryption completely or decided to go backwards and reinstate nagra 1 which would mean a card change for legitimate customers. I guess from time to time encryption will be disabled on some channels if they are performing maintenance or testing something but it will never be for very long sadly.
 
I was on about the Linux boxs they are working via cs
