Hi

Wouldnt think so, the fix would be for the most popular/sold boxes which would be the sv6 and sv7 so the masses are sorted out and content then they will hopefully move onto other boxes, just depends where in the que the combo is.

Maybe its the fact that lots of the combo users all went over to the SAT side C/S and where gloating that SV7 cable is dead and how good sat is that the Starview team deemed the 6&7 more of a priority as we had nothing. (in a perfect world)
Reality is they have loads of SV7 still to shift so makes ecconomical sense to get those up and running first

I don't think gloating has got anything to do with it! Us combo users or ex combo users would never do that! lol! I have been using satellite for a few years now! cable was just an extra option for me! The real reason that sv6 & 7 are getting support is because I know for a fact that there is a huge stockpile of sv6 & 7's that are waiting to be sold! Combo's sold out months ago! lol!

which kinda falls into the hands of those that say that they dont care about supporting there earlier boxs, and that this is just to sell of the stock they have and then goodnite perhaps?

There are no SV6 left, there may be quite a few SV7. I have heard that there is a warehouse full of a new Starview HD Lite, if that is true, then surely it would be in their best interest to get HD working first.

I think maybe they are trying to repair their rather tattered reputation first by getting the SV 6 & 7 working before they try and sell the HD Lite

how come the site does not allowed zip files to be uploaded as an attachment? if the zip file is virus free, it wont cause any harm will it?
