Bit of clarification

[Timmymna]

Hi, hoping someone can set me straight.
I have a Starview box from a few years ago, haven't used it since due to being in a non-cable area but I am soon moving back to a cable area.
From what I've read all the cable goodness has ended/coming to an end soon so this makes my Starview box a doorstop? It can receive FTA but nothing else?

What I'm interested in is V+, I'm looking to get the medium package but with ESPN and thought you got the V+ as standard but it's £5 a month to record Is there any alternative to the £5? (Second hand V+ box etc) or should I put the £60 toward a dvd recorder?

Thanks

bin your old sv box... i have... just upgraded to xl package,mainly for the wife, but you get espn and eurosport AND lfc tv.... i watch other footy on pc...
check in n3 chat for coders list of vermin packages... or check their website...a bit dearer than what i was paying but i've had a "few" years free!!!!!
a 2nd hand box is no good, the cards are paired with its own box...
