Pace DI4000-n
 

I have just been given a Pace DI4000-n. I already have Telewest and subscribe to one of the packages. I was wanting to put this DI400-n in a different room and just move the card between the two boxes but....
I first just put the DI4000-n in place of the existing box but I don't get any picture other than the information. does the box need to be installed or something else?
:confused:

:welcome: to Cable Forum :D

You say you have been "given" the DI4000-n. That suggests to me it has not come legally from telewest themselves.

Simply put you subscribe to Telewest as standard and rent from the one STB only. If you want two STBs, then you pay for the exta box as part of your subscription.

The smart card is coded to particular STBs. If the coding needs changing that has to be done by Telewest. If your current STB is inadequate in some way then it's for Telewest to agree is needs replacing and send an engineer to do the job.

The STB you have been given is in fact the property of Telewest and should not have been given to you, but returned to Telewest by the original subscriber.

:welcome: to CF. I'm pretty certain all PACE STBs in the UK belong to the cable companies, in which case the box you have been given is technically 'receiving stolen property'.


Also, AFAIK, your subscription is tied to the box, not the card, so moving the card between the two won't help. Your best bet, if you want to be able to watch the TV from different rooms, is a Digisender.
[Edit] Beaten to it again.

Actually, the STB needs to be returned to ntl.
The Telewest version is the Pace Di4000-T.

Re: Pace DI4000-n
 

Ah in which case there is even less chance it is legit.

Thanks for all your replies

I was not aware that the boxes belong to NTL/Telewest
or that there was a difference between NTL and Telewest boxes

I will return the box

Thanks Again
