how does it work with cable?

[matsher]

Hi All,
I'm on open box for sly, a pal wants to know how it works with cable…. is there a post or a link you guys can share to help me learn that one too please? ta x

you need a cable tuner in box
and a vm live feed in house
and works like sly once setup

thanks Lancable…. so do the same boxes work? or are the boxes unique to satellite, and unique to cable? can you recommend a couple of cable boxes? cheers bud

Or you can stick with an openbox--now called freesat V8 Golden which is a cable/sat/terrestrial box freesat service

you mean the openbox V8s that I have for my sly will serve the same purpose for cable?

No that is the old series of box----look at the new series in the link I gave you.
