so im guessing its i-conect + box - conect with cables to either your modem via splitter or add it into router.. update the other box with rom? then connect the 2 up after.. just getting my facts b4 mine goes out for good.
so im guessing its i-conect + box - conect with cables to either your modem via splitter or add it into router.. box>> cable line / iconnect>>> to box+iconnect>> router update the other box with rom? yep then scan the box then connect the 2 up after.. yes the new 780 will be out soon that has a built in lan so you wont have an iconnect thats only for the 750 one
so best to wait for the new box . less wires i assume box 780 to pc - install update rom box into tv - would it them be split cable conection 1 end in the modem other end in the box like s/view 3 kinda and 780 has everything all under the hood nothing else needed. sorry for the questions just getting info straight in my head... ps last question . with the new 780 will it be trackable aka is it a gamble to get 1 or will they be like our old boxes - good to go and go for a bit my s/view 3 is still good in an area listed here as already n3.. any price guide on these 780's or are they not ready yet
so best to wait for the new box . less wires i assume / Yes box 780 to pc - install update rom box into tv - would it them be split cable conection 1 end in the modem other end in the box like s/view 3 kinda yes you can use split cable as long as the signal is good you will still need an ethernet cable from your router to your box also full time. and 780 has everything all under the hood nothing else needed. Just your cable feed and ethernet cable sorry for the questions just getting info straight in my head... ps last question . with the new 780 will it be trackable aka is it a gamble to get 1 or will they be like our old boxes - good to go and go for a bit / Who knows nothing is for ever is it ?? my s/view 3 is still good in an area listed here as already n3.. / Well wait till its gone so any price guide on these 780's or are they not ready yet / prob around the 160 /180 bracket rough estimate
so the ethernet cable on the box is a new thing to me - i no its dumb but why is that? this refers to the 780 if your modem cable plugs into the back of the box via splitter and the other end goes into your modem. why would u also need to plug it into the router as well via ethernet ? that would be connected twice . are u saying its one or the other or u have to hook it in both ways at once
you have broadband as you are on here so the wire from your modem or your router goes into the back of the box also same as the cable from your provider goes into the box you do not split your broadband feed you split your cable feed to the box when you get one you will understand better
easy way you will understand, cable that comes out of your router or modem to your laptop/computer stick that in your iconnect or direct to the new kryptview 780 instead of laptop thats it
and im refering this to the krypt 780 which isnt out yet well i have a spliter attacthed to the end of my cable right now. 1 wire goes in my box - 1 goes in my modem . can it still be done this way like on my s/view 3. i never used the ethernet via router even though it was an option
when you say 1 wire goes in to my box i presume you are talking about a cable wire which the answer would be yes but you need to have for kryptview 780, an ethernet coming from your computer modem/router to your new kryptview and this wire can not be split direct from your broadband provider router to your new box then use another cable for your computer/laptop, unless you are wireless then its ok for computer carry on as nnormal and then put your cable wire direct in your box aswell once box is updated then you can split your cable wire only with a splitter if you wish to if i can clear up any more or have anymore questions please ask
how do i explain this i dont use a router never have but i still use a starview 3 i have v/media cable in my home rather than plugging in my modem wire direct into my modem - it is screwed into a 2 way splitter. on the other end of the splitter is 2 - 3ft extension cables. 1 of them screws into my v/media modem. and the other screws into my s/view 3 box - thus splitting my modem connection between the 2 that wont work on a krytp 780 ? or do you mean to update the box on first run i have to be direct into the pc update box then i can use my cable splitter to go into modem / box just like i have now or does the new box require i use a router with ethernet - which is just the same as using a splitter cable but without using an ethernet cable and router. is it one or the other - or either 1 will work
A router is a modem as explained to you above, dont be confusing splitting your vm cable with what is described above, just run a lan cable from your modem to the Krypt or the SV6, whichever you choose and thats it, on the back of your modum you have ethernet ports, run a ethernet cable from one of these to the ICONNECT or whatever LAN based box and thats it, your connected, jobs OXO @mantas - do you actually read anything that people tell you??? You were told they work after asking various times, you asked where to get one? you were told on the previous page where and a link posted for you, we are not here to spoonfeed people or hold their hands for them, read the bloody thread and the info you were given
The lads will probably better answer this for you but what exactly are you saying when you say modem??? Your current Starview channels will be lost when N3 rolls out in your area (unless its a new SV6). What the lads are trying to say (I hope ) is the A750 will need that VM cable connected to it plus you'll need the iConnect box with an internet connection for it to work. For the A780 you don't need the iConnect - just the LAN & cable connection...
On the money Janey, the OP is confusing cables, a simple lan cable from modum to ICONNECT or SV6 is all it takes
jammo2002. Just an addition to MICKAH'S post, if you only have one ethernet port on your Virgin modem, and you are already using that to connect to your computer, you will just need to use the USB connection to the PC instead so you free up the ethernet for the digital box\Iconnecter.
Then wouldn't the pc have to be constantly turned on also - would a small hub connected to the modem suffice for this? Leaving a cable for the PC when needed & 1 for the box?
yes they would be better off buying a router and plug the modem into the router you should get 4 free connections on that to use Mantas click the link below iconnect are on facebook check there http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/Iconnect-Krypt/100001083720269
yes on the button a ethernet hub or a router would be his best buy if he only has 1 lan port coming from his virgin modem
all this refers to the new 780 box the all in 1 box so that kinda asnwered my question so i guess unlike the s/view 3 that runs of a screw in attatchemnt cable of your v/media cable line you have to use ethernet cable for the new 780 box ? thats all i asked from the start will the new 780 simply let me screw in the same cable i have in the s/view 3 into the 780 to work as at the moment using the s/view 3 it requires no router just a split of cable from your vm cable line to screw into the back of it.. your saying this feature is not available on the new 780 box and must there for buy an ethernet cable and a router to do exactly the same job
