Default Advice please - Starview 4 or Eurovox

Can anyone please give their thoughts on which would be the best to buy? (to run on vermin media)

Does one have more features than the other, quality of picture etc.

Cheers

Go for the itgate 210 or 220 they are linux systems and are future proof to a certain degree being on the linux whereas eurovox or starview are not.
I have had the privlage of various boxes ie replay.starview,eurovox,dbox2 but for me the itgate wins hands down!

No itgates available on the net(I dont think) For now, get a Eurovox Max V, PVR ex5000, or ex1000, or Starview 3-My personal favourites Eurovox Max V and Starview 3

I think that they are as i have purtchased 2 so far in the last yr and mates too.
Problem with eurovox and starview as theyt non-liux boxes they would not be able to cope with a nagra change whereas the itgate would!!!
comes with a 2 yr warranty cant go wrong

The starview 3 has been out a while and had a few updates and the epg is rubbish most channals half the programmes on the epg are missing so no hope for the 4. Eurovox has a better epg not perfect but 90% better. The picture quality also outdoes starview and it has a better aspect ratio.

Edit poor spelling as use to many beers.
