Why the Eurovox is better... - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Ok,
In an attempt to enlarge the already massive eurovox community, I have put together this thread to allow you to persuade people why the Eurovox Max, Slimline or PVR is better than their alternatives or a modded V or V+ box, or why it isnt.
Please post your reasonings below and also if you agree could you post again just so as to show support for that reason.

well heres my view:

the v+ is the dogs balls to the point of you still get a great easy epg and can record 2 items and watch a third... has 4 ways to connect, hdmi, scart, ect and rcas

i like the eurovox as NO pins for movies and also can remove channels you never watch ect

AciidSn3ak3r · 22-11-08, 02:59 PM

Well tbh i dont think i can vote on this one.
Ive only ever had experience with the Eurovox MaxV 2008.
I would like to have the V+ Box when i upgrade to a new tv, when ever that will be.
I like my Eurovox though, its been faithful **touch wood**

yep i agree you would need to have had experience of all above mentioned units. However i cant see how any could be better than a modded V+ if im honest apart from the fact you get more porn on the eurovox if thats your thing.

^^^^^^^^ lol GAY tv lol joke

that post of mine got loads of views

ronster · 22-11-08, 04:29 PM

eurovox,starview,kryptviews ect cant really be compared to the modded boxes!

Yes they serve their purpose...free TV, espiecially gay tv for seamouse

BUT as far as build/component quality goes they are by far inferior to the modded boxes in order to keep production/retail costs down

Only box ive never tried is the starviews of which ive slated in the past and maybe wrongly so....lol

I would love to have a V+ Box, It may happen once i get my 40" LCD tv in my room. But until then theirs no need.
Tbh, i took my Eurovox downstairs as my dad likes watching the Footy matches on Sky Sports.
I hooked it up to the 42" LCD and i was quite amazed with the quality from a scart connection.
It wasn't too bad.
I dunno if that was to do with the LCD technology, has something called PixelPlus which seems to give it a good quality picture.

No, that's just the name they called the picture processor. Like Samsung have DNIe and Sony have Bravia and so on.

And you have a Philips? Oh dear.

AciidSn3ak3r · 22-11-08, 11:41 PM

What you mean Oh Dear.
Its bloody brilliant IMO.
Why whats so "oh dearing" about em.
My friend had his EV and a Sony Bravia tv and the picture quality is awful.

Gumpy Joe · 22-11-08, 11:43 PM

I'm a television engineer. Philips from the "big brands" have the highest fault rate. LG runs them a close second.
