I've done some reading on here and a few other forums and thought I'd ask a few questions before buying anything.
Basically I have a standard "Sly" setup at home with all the channels fully paid for. Initially I was going to ring and order multi-room so I can watch from the comfort of my bed (already have an RF2 & magic eye, but no good for when the boss is downstairs watchin corrie). I then heard about c/s and figured it may be a better way of doing it.
I understand that it will cost me more to buy 2 boxes than it would to go through Sly but I'm interested in learning about these and also the future posibilities of recieving further FTA content.
My intentions aren't to steal from my service provider... I understand that they normally charge £10/m for the multiroom, but I believe this is to cover the cost of their equipment and installation. I already pay for the channels I recieve and will continue to do so.
I was initially looking at the dreambox, but didn't want to loose my PVR functionality that the standard sly box downstairs currently offers, and the DB with PVR is a little more than I would like to pay. I then heard about the TM600 and wondered how it compairs to the DB?
Would the TM600 be a good box to start with?
Will it allow me to c/s with a 2nd box upstairs using my paid up sly card?
How hard is it to setup? - I am ok at working things out.. am pretty technically minded and work in IT and am familiar with the likes of VBA... most importantly though, I like to learn new skills and enjoy a challenge Humping
Any help/advice/criticism would be greatly apreciated. Hopefully I am not in breach of any rules with this post, and as said, my intentions aren't to steal content.
Cheers,
Stu
