I have not read anything about clones, buy from Lincsat and ask him before you buy.

lincsat hasnt got any starview 7 from what i can see on his website.

theres no clones yet they r all genuine as its hard enough to sell em without bringing in the clones lol

I doubt there will ever be clones or they wouldn't authenticate on the server.

The wholesale price has gone up for the SV7, so rather than put up my prices, I'm holding out to see if it comes down again. Now it seems most likely that the free server access is only 12 Months, I don't think it's worth the extra.

If the wholesale price comes down again, then I'll start stocking them again.

Best sticking to the box that dont have a 12mth time limit, you might pay a bit extra but worth it in the end.

We still don't know for sure if there is a limit on the Starview or if it's a hard limit. Nor do we know for certain that there isn't a limit on the Kryptview.

The Starview is certainly a better box than the Kryptview with being a PVR and having proper wide-screen switching and better PQ. If it wasn't for the wholesale price increase, it would still be good Value for Money.

Kryptview have done well with the aging hardware but it would be nice to bring it up to date. I suppose we need a Eurovox to stimulate development and some price wars
