Thinking of buying Starview3 - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi folks,

I look after cable for a family member and the pace box we had been using has given up. Thinking of buying a box.

How does the Starview 3 fair against the competition? I have seen it for £57 in the google ads above the forum, is this a good price. Does it cope well with key changes etc.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like an awesome price considering i paid £79 for mine. Cant comment on the competition yet, but it seems to be working swell so far.

Im torn between a starview 3 and a bdox2, any1 shed any light on which is better or is it personal preference (i know starviews are upto £70 than dbox's so are they worth the extra cash?)

For the price tag of 80 quid just buy one. Trust its worth it.

Lets face it, at 80 quid it pays for itself within a couple of months, especially as the premiership is just 11 days away. Just the occasional reboot every couple of days, tends to be when I'm watching voyager on bravo, but I can live with this when I consider what I'm getting.

The box super/starview 3 is the best box ive ever bought, after software is uploaded onto it - scanning for channels is so fast and straight forward, i paid £85 for mine but its the best £85 ive ever spent. Ive had 2 Eurovox max 2008/black box and they have failed me with pic break up and total glitching they were a nightmare so decided to try the starview 3 and im so glad i did, to the person that started this post i would say go for it mate you wont look back seriously. Hope you make the correct choice. laters
