My System: Dream Box 500s |
Hi i have been using the dream box 500s for the past year without any problems but recently had my phone line taken out hence losing all my sattellite stations i.e sky sports etc. Is there anyway I can get these back without the phone line? Any help would be very much appreciated... | ||

There are no freebies with Sky UK A DB wont magically give you all the pay channels for free. If you want your channels back you need to re subscribe  Card share - plenty of basic info on the forum if you want to investigate further, although its pretty complicated at times! | ||

My System: Dream Box 500s | yea dasteelman sounds like u might be right i bought the box from a guy who did all the setting up for me all I had to do was cancel my sky subscribtion and plug it in....and by magic  i've had all the pay channels for free (until i had the phone line taken out that is). Is there anything I can do to get the stations back without the phone line? oh i dont know if this makes a difference but i'm in ireland. Thanks again | ||

My System: Home-Amstrad Sky Digi-box on 60cm dish. Bar - Pace Sky English Digi-box and Grundig Sky Eire Digi-box linked to a 2.4m Channel master dish with a single dual output LNB. Digibox for ART network on 90cm dish. Digibox for Digitalalb subscription. Di | Am i right in thinkng slightly off topic that if you have a card you can share internally between boxes using a router without an internet connection? As my internet is down at the moment but have a sly card and 3 boxes. Thanks | ||
