ive never had a box but was planning on getting one in 2 months time when my my sly contract ends and i install virgin once again
in the mean time i have gone with a mag box , secondary router flashed with dd-wrt and a vpn service
a good steady reliable line and got everything one would want :-)
one word of warning if you have sky fibre there router is not str8 forward with regards to setting up a 2nd router and vpn service

sky have a hidden password that they wont tell you .. not as easy as just entering the router and changing a couple of things
but it can be done . as i did it only last week :-)

i have seen that mentioned and guess that maybe a way yes
but i found maybe even on same site a way to just enter mac serial no . and it gave it yu str8 away
once you have the password and gain entry to your 2nd router with dd-wrt its a piece of piss

i just bought a netgear 3700 pre flashed with dd-wrt off fleebay 35 pound
what you require is dd-wrt router
if you cant get one already flashed you can ofcourse do it yurself but make sure from the dd-wrt site that the router you intend to buy supports dd-wrt

So if I get a mag box and iptv sub would I need a vpn?
