Thanks, I will have to buy the appropriate cable for the loop through then.

One other thing hopefully someone can help with... FTP / File transferring....

with my VU+ zero, I used to be able to access the file structure of the box through my Windows 10 laptop (didn't have to use filezilla or anything). It just used to show up in the 'My computer' or 'Network' part of windows. With the ET8000, I cannot see the box in Windows, even though it is connected in an identical way to how the zero was. Is there a plugin i need to install to the ET8000 which will enable me to see it?

Or, if i need to use an FTP programme, what is the IP address of the box for me to connect to? I see other threads where it says login is ROOT and PASSWORD (or blank), but not sure what i should be entering in the first box to be able to access?

Would prefer just to see file structure in Windows so i can drag and drop files in as i need ideally! Any advice appreciated!
