I would like to know exactly when my box is going to die;illegal or not, it's the only reason they sell these things and I have a right to know dammit.

And the argument that full subs from VM costs more than an SV combo is bollocks. I wouldn't get full subs if I had to pay for it...not interested in sports, sky movies sucks and there's far better porn for free on the internet.

then why bother with one at all?

Because like a lot of people, I didn't know it came with an expiration date. If I did, I'd be a kryptview fanboy.

show me an official declaration from starview were they deny it will run out after 12 months?

show me an official declaration that they will expire. Are starview stupid enough to start turning off boxes? who will buy a starview if that happens, suppose a box is on fleabay, does it have 1 month left,, 6 months or the full 12 months. Therefore no one will buy a starview box and the company will die,,,for what the few quid it costs to maintain a c/s server.... i don't think these boxes will ever expire. BTW i have both kryptview and starview boxes so i'm not championing the starview cause just expressing my opinion

It does nto say on any forum that it will be only 12 months. we should be lucky if we get 12 months at all. for under £10 a month am not complaining. on a sv7 if it goes off and your desperate give me your bank details and i will arrrange sly or virming to come out and install and you will still complain 4 1 thing or another...

not being biased but m8 has kryptview all the same to me as long as the channel works not bothered......

the mac id on the box registers the box on the server, automatically after the 12 month it will expire and no longer work. This is what starview importers have told me but by that time, we will have starview 8. For them it is a business they do not care bout people selling them on ebay with 1 month left,6 months or even 12 months left. people will still buy at £99 for 12 months which is very good value also remember they sell the boxes as FTA.

[cutewillo]

so tell me then when you buy a box for 99 pound,,, how do you know how much it has been used for and how long left it has then, so i just keep my packaging use for six months flog it on flea bay by another and so on is this what will happen as i said before i think its just a vicious rumour spread by someone,,,maybe even Kryptview. As for SV8 that will probably just be a HD box without the combo.

[topshoter187]

When you buy the box it is brand new and there is no firmware on the box. So when you apply firmware on the box it then connects on the server and the timer starts. When you buy a box you should check system information to check if any firmware has been applied on the box, if it has the default firmware then you know it is new. It is not a rumour this has been confirmed by starview importers to me that it will only last 12 months. If you wanna do that then yes you can do that but in this game you do not know how long any box will work they may all stop working tomorrow, that is the risk everyone takes.

[topshoter187]

i was joking bout the starview 8, they come up with a new box every couple of months. Kryptview dont need to spread any rumours there box & server do the talking for them.

KV really really need to work on a HD model in all honesty lol
