Rameshjeee and other experts,

Can IPTV box of Airtel be used on other Broadband BSNL etc?

I mean to say that I have Airtel IPTV box with Airtel broadband with Magic @ Home Triple Play Pack but when I move to other city where BSNL broadband is available not Airtel , can I use this Airtel IPTV box on other broadband?

Is there any way to modify the IP address and use this box on other broadband or these boxes are completely locked, cannot be used on other broadband.

Please give your expert opinion.
