Just wondering if you have anything in the pipeline for selling Open Media 500cs, mate

lincsat · 30-01-10, 04:48 PM

I don't think they have been made for some time, maybe it's an opportunity now. There is the Starview HD Combo, but of course, that is not a linux box.

Cheers fella,

I didn't realise they'd been discontinued, I'll have a scout around the tinterweb.

lincsat · 30-01-10, 07:54 PM

I'm not 100% sure M8, just haven't heard anything about them recently.

lee-ds · 30-01-10, 09:04 PM

Well if they aint, I'd be the 1st one to sell them at the moment, especially with them being...shall we say....backwards compatable.

Lee-ds I may be selling mine if I see how the new Starview 6 goes. From speculation, people think this could be an IKS receiver as its priced quite high and not that much cheaper than the SV Combo. I reckon LS will be selling that as well

lincsat · 01-02-10, 01:46 AM

I will be able to get the SV6, but probably won't as it's only available with Irish C/S, no point in paying for something you cannot use in the UK.

waqasahmed · 01-02-10, 01:53 AM

fair enough. They may be just testing the water, however it would be nice if they could do IKS or c/s on a free server for the SV HD

AciidSn3ak3r · 01-02-10, 01:32 PM

Have a scout around on the bay. Thats where i got mine from.

waqasahmed · 01-02-10, 01:35 PM

they are rarely on eBay. Youll be quite lucky to find some. Admittedly both of mine came from there
