New box advice

[dandan556]

Hi, looking to get another cable box in the next few days after owning the original Starviews and Eurovox before N3 came out.

After quickly browsing this forum the best box to get seems to be the Kryptview A780, but what I'm wanting to know is, is it worth spending an extra £50 or so for the Starview HD combo for the extra HD channels?

My main concern is having owned Starviews in the past I know that the support for their boxes doesn't last long once they've brought a new box out so is it worth taking the risk for a few extra HD channels?

Thanks in advance

hi m8 personally id go for the KV780 as SV are bringing out a new box under a diff name EUROVIEW so i dare say support for SV combo ect will stop

i suggested you you check frequency then choose news box

I bought the KV off Lincsat for afamily memeber, very quick delivery.

The box ie stupidly easy to setup. Flash the box in a minute, couple of minutes to scan the frequencey.

After that they have been enjoying tv. I havent noticed it frezzing apart from doing a speed test when checking the internet connection speed from BT. So running torrents would be an issue if the bandwith is choked.

Apart from that quality is not bad, A coule of channels dropped the other day but came back on. The football has been on fine on a sunday and saturday. No drop off's yet for them. Fingers crossed. There impressed enough to thinking about getting a second box for the bedroom which will need a wifi bridge/homeplugs but that seems a doddle to set up as well.

So If you cant find your RSA key then yeah KV not a bad choice, certainely better than starview by all accounts.
