It looks like I need a STB -> modem swap. I need it as seamless as possible though as I use the Internet a lot.

Firstly, will the STB use the Internet up until the moment I plug the modem in and power on? i.e. seamless? Or would VM need to disable the STB internet before they issue a modem (i.e. loss of Internet for days?)

Secondly, a few people on here seem to have engineer installs. Can they post me one? I think they've done it before? Would be a lot quicker I should imagine.

Many thank in advance.
