Default Buying a Starview Box

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone the best place to purchase a starview box, and what is required to set one up?

Will I be able to get all the channels that used to come up previously?


Thanks

contact Lincsat and he will be able to sort you out with one. Its been said that it only lasts for 12 months and then u have to buy a new box. Setting one up is very easy so dont worry about that.

you get everything that has been paid for by the local card holder. you will basically get all the channels which you had previously.

I second the previous post by unadkat. I got my two boxes from lincsat. They were very easy to set up and work fine. Even if you just get a year's service from the Starview 7, it will have been worth it. There is mention of the Kryptview being possibly longer lasting, but who knows?! Remember that this is a more expensive box. The SV7 is right for me and a lot of others out there and was exceptionally simple to set up. I hope that helps.

yes there a (bit) more expensive box but i think the kryptview is far better and i think you will get longer from it as well

Do more research before you buy any box, lots of pros and cons so before you part with your cash, look thru the posts on here then decide what you want to do, remember one thing sometimes buying cheap buy twice.

I'm stuck between Starview or Kryptview.. Hmmm. Freeview box has just packed in so I either fork out 100odd on a freesat box or go down this dark road again
