Does the Samsung STB have a built-in cable modem ? My sister has just had NTL TV and broadband installed and is wondering whether a modem should have come with the package - apparently the installation engineer was in a rush and left without making it clear.
Welcome to the forum
No you plug the ethernet cable into the STB, the necessary hardware is built into it. You should have a ethernet port towards one end of the box on the back of it.
hi and to the site , it may be possible to also have a sacm
Only if there are problems with the connection via the STB though normally, sounds like the installer either didn't realise it was a BB and TV install or the installer forgot it was a BB install too as normally they at least plug the cable in to the STB for you
Did the installer leave a cable, adapter or CD at all?
Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the responses. The installer left a disc and a cable but didn't mention whether the cable went direct to the PC or via a SACM. Now that I know, I reckon have enough IT knowledge to set up the PC, so all should be well.
All NTL Digi STB's have a modem in them.However,some franchise's (like mine0 wont support the STB modem 7 so we use SACM's.
It depends on what the franchise is set up for.
