Hi,
I'm new to this site and was looking if anyone can give me advice.
I want to buy a starview box and was wondering can anyone recommend a supplier with a good reputation, also do i need to buy any extras to do the firmware thing?
thanks

Go for the Kryptview and use Lincsat , There have been many a debate lately about dealers selling clones as genuine boxes.

Don't get your fingers burnt a buy from a reputable established seller ,Like our very own Lincsat

Lincsat's Nick-nacks (Shop)

It's a case of buyer beware at the moment , too many clones flooding the market at the moment.

krupatel,boomers asking the question because all the boxes are dying in ireland due to nag3 so if he's located there there's no point in buying a box.

krupatel · 18-08-09, 08:56 AM

ok, if you are in ireland i would say that you buy a kryptview, but they might aswell got off in two-three month time.. so please be aware about this.

already gone or going m8
Kryptview in Dublin

Hi, yeah im ok i think because im in northern ireland (should be ok yeah?)

think il get a kryptview, i assume theres less chance of it being a clone?
Are they easy to update?

Also i have one basic question, if the cable provider scrambles the signal do i have to download a new firmware or will the box automatically unlock the channels?

Thanks for all the help, i need it at all cos im a noob lol

Easy Guide to updating the A700c and a750
thanks to ronster

take a read of that m8.
Depends if the cable provider just rolls the keys the box will handle it but if they do a big hit you'll need the above when new firmware comes out.Keep a close eye on whats going on over the water though cause you don't want to get stuck with a freeview box
