Default Starview

Well folks looks like Sv have got themselves a support forum, but as always there is a catch, if you want any help or you want to gain access to their forum, you have to cough up the $$$$$$$$$$$, nothing new there i suppose.

But what about the people that have boxes now, and still work until the end of Oct or Dec, and they want help, you guessed it you have to pay for it.

As we can now see this is no longer a hobbie but a money making exercise now.

That depends on how you look at it.

They make money from box sales, so its fair to say that they are making money / profit.

If you look in another point in terms of charging monthly / yearly then it is a NO NO. However either way you look at it you cant really compare. They are making a profit which ever way you look at it.

Only difference is that obviously they are no charging there customers the monthly fees.
