    Iv seen a letter from the UP SEA cable company in Kildare Ireland ,dated last week ,saying they will be sending out new cards to customers in the coming weeks. Will this be another problem for box users.

    At 1st they were only sending the new N3 Cards to Cable customers, now it looks like MMDS is on its way there.

    well the fact that they are still sending out cards means they still have customers on N2, so they aren't going to switch it off until all the customers are moved to N3.

    Chorus came last (kildare) week with new sagem boxes . The Box T now receives nothing. Im told we are now on cable and not mmds since the switch so i assume we need a SV4 or similar to work here . Any one know for sure ????????

    Your now on NTl MMDS which uses DVC-C Tuners.
    They would of needed to re-align your aerial aswell as swap your STBS.

    So your right in saying you would need a DVB-C box such as a starview, kryptview ect

    Once they switch everyone over then the N2 stream will be turned off altogether, so no boxes will work - is that right?

    I read a rumor (sorry, can't remember where now) that 'they' :) have N3 cracked but are waiting for it to be rolled out in America or something before releasing it.

    I have heard the same thing.. I hear that the StarView 4 box's only have a few months left in them at best.

    Guys as per post above, i got a sv (not 4) the org one that stopped working in Dublin , all up annd running in Kildare now.

    As stated earlier got 86 on an auto scan , im now at 120 approx by doing a manual scan.

    So anyone who has been moved from Chorus mmds to cable just get a DVB C box and do the same.

    Ive more stations now than ever !!!!
