Hi all

I like to think i am not one of these people who keep asking the same questions over and over again and was always patient whenever my starview 2 box went down and needed and update. I found people on this forum so so helpful and got me up and running again in no time, so a big thank you first of all. Nag 3 finally kicked in today so naturally i started having a look around and came across this box Kryptview 780.

I just have a few questions about it.

1) I know it connects to your router, my router is upstairs and my cable tv is downstairs would this cause a problem?

2) i know its hard to say but do you think this will last at least a year? because i think the starview 6 you have to buy a new box each year?

3) Is it traceable by virgin? i mean with it connected to the net 24/7 can they "see" or "work" out what its up to?

Sorry if these are basic questions but any help would be appreciated

Chris

did i not answer this already!!
1. you would probably be better trying to move your router downstairs
2. they are ment to last longer than a year unlike the starview
3. yes if they really want to trace you they can
but the way that they would do it would probably be illegal aswell

Hi e45,

Can you run more than one 780 (assuming you have spare ports on your router) and if so, can you mix and match ie have a 780 & a SV6?

Cheers

the 750 need's an iconnector for it to work on your internet as it dont have a built in one the new 780 is the replacement for the 750 and has a built in lan connection on the box both boxes are excatly the same when putting firmware on them no different just different firmware that is all you get the same channels on both boxes regardless

unless its old stock nobody should have the 750 in stock now so they will only be able to get the 780 now.

But the iconnector is and will be still available for the 750 model
