    Straight answer Eurovox is better, Starview 2 called "The Box", is easier to set up and cheaper. Both do as they say on the tin, just a matter of personal choice.

    johncul: First question would be, what version of firmware are you running? To find out, press Menu, go down to System Information, and press OK. The number I'm looking for is next to API.

    Second, are there any problems at all, freezing picture, blocky picture or message every 10-15mins about bad scrabmled channel?

    if you dont have a clone then flash it with v4.00e
    this will solve your problems!
    Epg will never be great with the starviews. just the way it is .
    click on eamo's, eko.4 link under my post for all the firmware u need ...
