Default Warning to anyone wishing to buy a starview!!!

Whatever you do , dont buy a starview !! They are charging people a 6 monthly or 12 monthly sub if you buy a new box or even if you have an old box you will be charged....
I think they (starview server people) should at least give people 6 months free viewing after all the downtime and mess we users have had to deal with over the past few months....

As far as im aware this hasnt been implemented yet but if/when it does i personally hope all starview customers will show how they feel by not putting their hands in their pockets again to bale out this failing company....

No offence starview but lateley you take the p**s !!

Comments?

We have been telling/talking how rubbish sv are/have been for the last 8 months and people have still gone out and brought sv boxes.

Personaly I think people buy a sv box then use or find out about forums like Techwatch and then it's been too late for them.

I think the only people being ripped off are the owners of VM.

I think it's funny that you can say SV are big money and also call them thick hookers at the same time. A fool and his money are easily parted so they say, so how someone can be loaded AND a thick hooker is beyond me.

Besides, AFAIK the SV boxes are technically superior, so £45/year for a better box may seem like value to some...

starview been about for four or five years at most but have let it slip into kryptview hands all that custom they had is running out the door ever day if they dont sort it out soon and get the server back to free they have nothing kryptview been about two or three years so that means starview would be first all the old sammy and pace peeps would of jump on to starview in the first couple of year which was when kv want about so now the old starview team made the money and run thats why its got a new so called team which have been ripping peeps of for the last 10 months or so and everone can see this on all forums not just this one what u want peeps to do pay pay 45 quid then the next day the server been shut down by the old bill sorry peeps we be back up soon but its another 45 quid so what ever custom is around today will go for the k/v yes we know it carnt last for ever but the s.v6 and 7 are not the first box which dont work since the new starview rip team took over u can still get both kv boxs working for one price which i can say am very happy to pay like most peeps and as a kv user only am very happy to see that some thick hooker have took starview over and sent there custom over to kv as the server will last much longer am one of the lucky ones i got sat and cable so dont mind as if u look in the right place u can get sat for free as well
