Bin it as you will only get some FTA channels on it. Starview7 is the latest box that works

And i suggest you do some home work before you purchase another box, as to the ups and downs to them and the time frame for which they last.

What he's trying to say is that your going to get glitching which ever box you choose, so your better of buying a box with a private server but its more expensive compared to the others

but if he/she goes down the private server router he would be using sat rather than cable.

and a lot of people dont have dishes.

to replace the doorstop eithe ra sv7 or kryptview a780 both available on ebay (at higher prices) or from sat sites,, google it.

to get the cheapest box the sv7 its the fav but they have a 12 month life and then need replacing.
to get a non shelf life box the kva780 is top of the list, plenty of support for the kv on this forum.
if you can find a sv combo anywhere (about £200) they will do cable for 12 months as well as sky hd (subject to you using a private server). which i think is the best option.
private servers are usually flawless but obviously cost on a monthly basis.

regards dave
