In most cases like this, boxes are simply re-badged and the firmware customised (or re-worked a little) from already existing boxes. The manufacturer isn't really important and will likely change with each new model. It will likely be some Chinese/Taiwanese/Korean manufacturer.

If you look hard enough, you'll probably find a box which appears identical to any of the SV's (inside at least - the case is irrelevant) or only marginally different (ie. Sat tuner instead of cable).

The important people in the chain isn't the manufacturer. Its whoever has paid to have the boxes made !

I believe irumtek is the manufacturer.

As I said though, its not really important. If it hadn't been one company it would of been another. As far as i'm aware, SV have used various different manufacturers at various times so its probably down to who can build the boxes for the cheapest !

I cant see it happening, but what if they could link this Korean guy arrested to the manufacturer, do you think this would have any bearing on future imports from them ?. But as you suggest i suppose they would just rebadge and switch manufacturer.

Maybe they should rename themselves 'ScrambledView'
Viewing the stars is about all I can do right now
