I would, if you are able to, investigate the sat side. The KV are currently getting less channels than S/V BUT they have consistently been much more reliable, however they are still closed source being cable.
Hi spudorang,to be honest I've never really looked into the sat side as primary source was cable feed only.I'd defo be willing to give it a good thinking over if you can give me a brief idea of set up/installation.Are sat set ups card based or server routed like the soon to be broke sv set up.Thanks.
If you want plug n play for cable the Krypt, give SKY W a shout or a mail for one, if its sat, then look at the blade, firmware and tuts on here,
I think you are wrong there, if you look 99% of channels are now up and working on KV compared to what is working on SV, most Sv boxes are actually off on the server now so what does that tell you, and you are quite correct KV is also closed sourced but they are not driven by greed, unlike Sv do you see them bringing out a new box ever year, did they support there older box when N3 hit yes, how many boxes have Sv gone thru mmm last count they have gone thru list below. 7 starview boxes 1 Starview Combo 1 ddigital duo 1 Euroview how many are left working on cable, ?? limited amount of Sv7 boxes are, Sv6 are switched off, combo on cable is dead, duo is dead, euroview is dead. Not a good track record for Sv is it really, and now they want people to sub to them, with a track record like that i would if people can go Sat side, for people that cant well Kv is the best option at around £140 a box.

Um to be honest I've stuck with cable feed as it was there and plug and play is always prefered in my opinion.Though I have heard a bit on the sat side people swear by it,so I'm in 2 minds as to stick with what I'm familiar with or just take plunge and try something new.Is there units that can run both?so you can swap and choose dependant on what's working best at the time.Cheers guys.
there was, the Starview combo, which is now history, there are combos, but nothing opening the cable side in the UK, so its either Sat or Krypt
Right,so with the a750 I take it there was no LAN feed so you need the iconect being an older unit? But the a780 comes ready to rock?
750 need iconnect which you can purchase the 780 has in built dcreceivers.com or skywonder.co.uk try both suppliers
i can someone please tell me if its worth it using starview7. mine has stopped working for ages and recently i heard i can call and subscribe to get it working again.. please i need help on this one. please...we are big family and the house is boring without it. tnx
figof....this is the file you need mate for your SV7 (SMGO221) http://www.4shared.com/file/wm4u2zwu/smgo221.html just follow the steps above to load the file to your sv7. If after the necessary steps your box does connect, then it will have a expiry date, to check this you press Menu on remote, Utilites then System Info If your box displays a login box "Not Registered Box" then you will have to contact the SV team for a sub. Its all somewhere on this thread, just look up.
Thank you..iv done it all and it keeps saying ... NOT REGISTERED BOX....guess ill have to contact them...
How do i contact the starview team for the sub please. could you please assist me...their contact details etc.. tnx
Here ya go download to your pc open it on your pc fill in details and hope they get back to you happy hunting your going to need it m8 http://www.4shared.com/file/uBUJwCo8/StarviewSupportRequest101.html
Don't bother paying them sv lot you'll only end up dissapointed again,if people pay them then their laughing at you.Just look for another unit like I have and teach Them a lesson for their greed.What have you to lose you seen yourself how unreliable their service is,if you pay now you'll pay forever!!!!
thats if you can get thru to their paypal account m8, which is not setup for some reason only kiddy/sv team can answer. they jumped ahead onto step 2 before completing step 1, lol once they had paypal acc in place, only then they shud have released the little programme to forums, totally disorganised jak***
