Does anyone know if the next gen of starview boxs will include HDMi and the ability to show HD channels?

not sure m8 only the makers will no that
the eurovox do a hd box if you dont want to wait and see

There is a new HD receiver known as the Coolstream aka Dbox 3 which looks pretty tasty , In final stages of testing at the moment due for release soon , Probably will have loads of support and images as the current Dboxes. Good alternative worth a look

thanks for info g80878
i would just like to say to dasarab the type of box mentioned by g80878 is a lot more difficult to set up than the eurovox/ starview etc

These boxes can be 8astards to master , When you got it mastered there great pieces of kit. With the release of an HD version coming i have already started saving the Penny's , The kids ain't having Heinz anymore

Morrison's own from now on

yes they are a great box when mastered g80878 m8 i do have a nokia dbox 2 i could have smashed it up at first but it was a good learning curve
not used it for a while i lent it a friend to watch some boxing 3/4 months ago and he's still using it

IMO SV are going to release a HD version to generate some money for themselves. They do however need to improve on reliability if they wish to save their name as a reliable brand.The eurovox ex7000hd is reliable,but cant comment on a possible sv 5
