    Default Can the Alba STB2NS be modded?

    Hi all, I pulled an Alba STB2NS (free view digi-box) out of the loft and noticed that it has a serial port on the back.
    Can this box be modded in any way?

    Cheers, G.

    To do what? If you want to watch encrypted Top up TV channels, no chance.

    Hi Beer,
    Yeah I know encrypted Top up TV is a no go.
    Just wondered if the boxes have any other modding capabilities.

    Cheers,
    G.

    2. A Weapon against intruders
    3. A Flat Surface for storing Full Cups of Coffee
