Watching standard games (blackpool vs west brom) you wont have a problem with SV, maximum amount of glitching youll get would be once or twice, if youve got a good connection. But if your going to watch a big match like (man utd vs arsenal) youd rather not watch it, an switch to your pc. Overall 7/10 considering the price and quality for the SV

actually maybe we should do a nationwide experiment!

check out when the next big match is on and all us techies watch it making a mental note of when glitches or freezes occur then after the match ends report back here.

from information come solutions!

regards dave

as Starview have never even had someone come on here and say anything, do you think they give a flying f8888 about the glitching, so you can report all you like but it will go on deaf ears which it has been doing since they brought the box out in the Uk in the first place.
