Re: installing Broadband via STB

Can you check what IP address your friend is getting. If is starts with a 10 then he needs to enter these numbers in the address bar 172.16.30.84 and that should take him to the registration page.

May be worth just unplugging the STB for about a minute first.

No, the STB connection is quite different to SACM

Each pc that is using the broadband needs to register so yes if it's a new pc. He'll need the PID number and password too !!

Re: installing Broadband via STB

but when asked for the PID and password the old password or the 1 they change to didnt work
and now they are blocked from trying again

Re: installing Broadband via STB

thanks for the offer
but think it will be better if they call CS as they would need to ask for the correct password aswell anyway
