Looks good but no network port which mean no card sharing or geting any automatic channel update for sattilete enc. channels if there was dedicated server etc.

You can't have everything at this price! If you want that get a AzBox Premium or Elite and buy a second cable tuner

Heres a pic of both sides for those of you who like to look at both the back and the front. I know I do

Either the box is tiny or the remote is huge

ronster · 21-10-09, 07:38 PM

lol i'll guess at the remote being huge

To fit all that spec with twin tuners into a tiny box is asking alot!
Unless its got a external PSU

edit
looking at the pic again it obviously hasnt got an external PSU.....the remote is fookin huge

To be fair, the openmedia 500CS is a pretty small box and you could easily add a HDMI port and a USB port if it was designed correctly, so I dont see why the Starview HD cant be small. Ive seen that this box has a card reader but no network port? What would be the point in that? Southernsat, you got any measurements for this receiver?
