If you get a cable box and have an active cable line yes. No if you go the cheaper option and use sat

Hi
Not had cable since star view days, switched to sly sat with f5. Got recommended a gift after requesting and was brilliant until recent as you know
Just thinking what you and others have said especially HD etc and need to consider cable again methinks. Not aa techie in any way and happy to have basics ie not bothered if its just now and next and don't worry about recording etc. What would yousay was a reasonable cable box? I know sub will be expansive in comparison to now but any idea how much?
Thanks and sorry if too many ?'s

Heads spinning a bit from all the info and options of different boxes. Are there any which are just plug and play? The thought of buying a potential headache is putting me off.
You can get satboxes that are already set up ready to just plug in and play. That's the first kind of box I had...normally ebay isn't recommended and rightly so but I was lucky enough to get one with a good server that last the 12 months. Reports of glitchy servers from eBay seller though or servers just dying well short of the period paid for. You could try your luck or source from somewhere else

Thanks gallagj8 been avoiding eBay because of what's been said in these forums. I think I know which box I would like but then people talk of skins, firmware, bouquets, channel list updates.

You are probably best just going for a box which suits your budget, buy one, read the guide for that box
and you shouldn't get too bogged down.
It is always much easier to understand the various guides when you have
a box connected up on front of you.
There is also plenty of help about if you get stuck !!!
Go on take the plunge !! We all started off in your position
and you shouldn't get too bogged down.

I need help!!
I can tinker with thinks once they are up and running, but getting there is the hard part.
I have a Sky dish, and 74mb Broadband.
I need something like Sky, so that the wife can record etc, and watch at her peril. I just need Sports.
Can anyone recommend a box and this gift thing?

Looking for a simple box for my folks
have a 5s which locks up and comes up scrambled every now and then. Time to bin this one.
Requirements
single tuner
easy to use
recording not required
one that updates itself overnight
As I live so far away I only vist once a fortnight so if it goes down they have to wait until I come round.
Your help is very much appreciated.

First timer sat user here. Well, will be once I move
Used to Tivo and although I know I can't repeat that experience I would like to get close as. So looking for a half decent twin tuner box with HDD capability (preferably internal). Like the look of VU+ Duo.
Is this the way to go?
Is there another box that is better suited or just as good for a little less ££'s?
Any tips on which Flash to go with?
Sorry for the intensive post and thanks

Thanks

So deffinately thinking VU+. Would I be better with VU + Duo or VU+ Solo2. Both have twin tuner, I don't believe a need 2 x Card Interfaces. The Solo2 supposedly supports 2 x HDD. One for record and 1 for Timeshift. Are these both supported internally?
Thanks
