Hi there,

Merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone.

I just wanted to know what people think about the arNet kryptview boxes and are they any good? also are they worth getting.

Is that the tmc made box, i have seen them advertised somewhere dont know much about them, tmc make good cable equipment unloopers jtags etc.

not heard to many talking about them, seems the euromax is most popular.

Its supposed to be a great box with the best picture quality especially on LCDs of all the boxes and with the last firmware update gives you channel mapping which means once youve scanned it arranges the channels identicle to v1rin 101 bbc1,511 sly sport 1 ect.
Not got one yet but considering getting 1,never been let down yet by TMC so should be a great box

Hi

Bought one of these from a local seller just before christmas for £85. I would be disappointed if I'd paid more.

Seems as good as the Starview we also have. EPG is better but not always there straightaway and not the easiest on the eye. Picture quality which everyone seems to praise is in my opinion nothing out of the ordinary.
It does a channel scan in standby, but if you edit your channel list, it puts them back to how it was!. This power off scanning can be turned off though thankfully.

Quite happy with it for the money, but as I've no experience of anything better except our sub'd V+ box then again it seems you get what you pay for!!!

Hope this helps and feel free to ask if you need more info.
All the best

just a little note

remember the guys that make the releases for this model .also do the releases for every thing else ..i.e starview etc........so i would have thought that in future the best releases you ar egoing to get will be on the kryptview

i've just bought one of these myself as i was sold a dodgy eurovox and lost confidence with them.

The read up on the kryptview is very good so i'm keeping my fingers crossed

I've been told to expect to download updates on a regular basis over the next view months to iron out any faults, but at the end of the day as long as it works well i'll be happy.
