starview servers , lower box prices?

[quavis]

so now starview are charging us for access to their "support" (which isnt seen as a direct payment for pay channels), does that mean the initial cost of the boxes will come down and down as i cant really see a lot of existing customers who paid for a starview and didnt get a full 12 months use recommending these boxes to anyone else. i fact i cant really forsee anyone in their right mind paying for support but i know people have....

oops sorry i realised im discussing pay servers.... if this is wrong of me please delete the thread!!!

lol we cant win to be honest as starview is now a pay server so we cant discuss.....

Cant see the boxes coming down in price, why would they i would expect they will hope they will even sell more of the stock pile they have.

As for Sv been a payserver well i have been told its not, its support, so as far as i can see we can openly discuss this payserver topic as its not a cardsharing payment.

what support are they offering and where is it? must be hidden.

yep have gone the Sat route myself just got a new Dm800hd box, trying out a few support sites ie payservers to see which is the best one, and not to glitchy.

Maybe all boxes should change the way they do business now and call it support payservers, there be more interest then, and the doomed word of card sh*** would not be a problem then

Alot of people have a budget and would never step into the sat side due to the fact they don't want to pay for the subs, even though it does work out cheaper. Plus taking into account that you need a sat dish if you don't have one and then the installation charges.. Unless you can install it yourself then its a different ball game all together.

However there is a majority that want it for FREE.

A few would never even go down that route as they have no computer / networking knowledge. And if they buy a DM box then its even more problems as they don't have a clue on how to operate it.

I know the kv box is free, after you buy it at a price which connects you to a server so we can watch free tv. It's all business to make money, so what do you all expect the kv guys to do to make money and as much money they have made from the past boxes sold to date?
Will they just carry on making money by selling more boxes?
More boxes connecting to a server, will they cover the cost of the boxes what connected say over one year ago, to me that would mean less profit to the pocket in cash for a company.
Do kv just bring a new box out and we start over again? or do kv ask for a payment for a service to carry on getting tv?

Somewhere down the line kv need more money and we will have to pay for their service, in some way which I dont know the answer to.

Starview=Payserver, Kryptview = Payserver. Payments just extracted from customers in different ways.

Payserver discussions are not permitted.
