Hi, i'm new so just starting the learning process. im not very techie but enjoy plain and simple.been reading some posts ,you lot sound very upto date on stuff. i have ntl tv phone broadband an seem to be lucky not to many problems.then maybe i have but dont know about. so can you run two boxes off one connection,do you need two cards as well and do you have to pay to receive channels on both boxes.also some one said i should get a "chipped box and self updating card" wots the technical name to ask ntl for . ok enough from me .thanks for reading my first post hope it makes sense:)

You have to pay for both boxes. You won't get any info on hacking or chipping Ntl services here.

^^^ what he said

an additional set top box is £15 per month and will carry the same package as your main box.

I may have got this wrong, but on this auspicious day, I wonder if your name implies you are posting in disguise. :erm:

I would tell you about chipped boxes and stuff, but then I think I might get in trouble with the team who are itching for an excuse to press the red button. So I wont. Just don't go there.

Two boxes is possible, but means two fees to ntl.

Welcome to the site geztam.

As has been said, "Chipping" boxes is illegal. You do have to pay NTL a further £15 per month for each extra box. I certainly wouldn't phone NTL and say you are planning to do it.

While I, and the other members of the site, will be happy to help with most problems you might have, we cannot discuss anything like this.
