have not seen 1 post on here saying they cant get the Krytview up and running even with as you say people not having comports
i think you should read some of the starview threads and see for yourself ?? lots of people having problems setting them up.
if you are such an expert on staview why not put up a post on how to actually get them to work.
Kryptview once its flashed its perfect plug the ethernet cable in and away you go that is why they dont have as much problems as the Sv does not only the combo haveing probs but the Sv 6 also mac address probs as well all zeros on the mac.
People are intitiled to know whats what with the boxes either way whats good and whats bad and at the present time Sv is going the wrong way with trying to make it good

You have a history of being wrong, just admit it.
Many posts from Kryptview users of missing channels in the last Week or Two. If customers bought a SV HD Combo from me, they have instructions how to set them up, if they have problems getting connections they just have to e-mail me for help.
I have not heard of anyone with the SV6 having MAC problems. I have heard of a few people having problems with some USB HDD on the SV6, which USB HDD does the Kryptview support?
So how is the Kryptview HD doing on the server - you forgot to answer that.
Anyway, the purpose of my posts were not to trash the Kryptview, well not until you started posting rubbish again. The Kryptview works, it's just dated. The SV6 works and has more features and is cheaper.

ok this is just a few of the problems Sv has

Hi all. I have a starview 6 for the last 6 weeks or so and it has worked fine....until last week.

I can't reflash the firmware as I can't get by the box start up to the main menu nor does it show a USB device. Does anybody have a suggestion as to what I can do to get it working again?
I am in Dublin using the latest Guinness firmware. Starview 6 Lan.

even tried to ring the chap i get me box off and he's had the same problem a couple of times
also with the 3g dongles it depends on the area you are in, it may work for you and your friend around the corner it may not

and that is just from the starview 6 thread and i have not even gone over the rest of the post with same problems
and same for the combo box as well so it could be a very long post here if i kept going
and as for me having a problem with starview very much the opposit if i had why the feck did i offer to try and get it sorted if that is the case ??

THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE HAVING THE CONNECTION PROBLEMS ONLY I WILL ONLY ASK ONCE AND PASS ON INFO FOR YOU.
Right info required BY PM only do not POST on the forum OK
1 Serial number from the back of the box
2 name of person to who owns the box
3 What box it is either combo or Sv6 lan
all pm will be answered by return
thats it so the rest is up to the people to send the pm i will leave this till tuesday after this your on your own
and if you also look at the starview threads you will see i do my best to help the people out but i call a spade a spade
also about there Hd boxes on the server that i dont know maybe you could shed some light on it ??
same could be said for all the other starview that are not working which could be if they made the dongle for it but they wont anyway im not here to slag anything here im saying it as i see it.

Wrong again - can't you read or something

You mention a SV6 with a problem in Dublin, does the Kryptview work at all in Dublin?
Have you actually tried a Starview6? When you have tried one yourself, you will be qualified to compare them.

what has that got to do with anything we are not talking about that box working we all know its not working in ireland but when they do set it up lets see the difference
weather or not i tried the sv6 or not is not the answer ??
as you can see by just a few posts i have showed you and that is not only CONFINED to dublin that is also a problem in the UK and i have not mentioned once about the Kryptview working in ireland did I ?? nope and you have not shown me 1 post with people having problems flashing there boxes i could go on searching for posts for prob with combo and Sv6 but if your interested look yourself.
and you have may have them advertised on your website but that is it. anybody can put anything on their website dont mean jack
and this is the end of this conversation

Are you serious, suggesting I am advertising a box and not selling it? That is probably the most ridiculous thing you have posted - and you have posted some whoppers!
Like I said previously, I have had more support requests from people unable to flash their KV's than have had problems with the SV6. How can I get support requests if I don't sell them?
The whole point here is your criticizing my comparison of 2 boxes that I have tested. You have not tested the SV6, so are not qualified to comment on it. You are very quick to condemn a box that you don't sell or advertise.
You have proven time and time again that you don't know what you are talking about, well you have been caught out again. When you have tested the 2 boxes side to side, then you can compare them. For example, you can't criticize the SV6 for a problem in Ireland where the KV doesn't even work. You go on about SV not making a dongle for older boxes when KV didn't make one for their older box, the A700, only their current (at the time) A750. Even the KV HD box isn't supported.
There is no doubt that the A750/A780 is popular, fueled by some mis-conception in many cases. It is an old design, has problems with widescreen switching and can be difficult for some people to load firmware. The SV6 is a newer design with more features and cheaper, it is easier to load firmware. Once the Firmwares are loaded, the KV is easier to connect to the server as the features do not need activating, unlike the SV that needs a few Key strokes of the remote. Both servers have had outages, both need a good internet connection and a properly configured home network. I believe that one ISP in Ireland did try blocking access to the SV server for a while and there has been criticism in the past about Starview not supporting old boxes when bringing out new ones. They both change channel quickly and both open the channels usually first time and neither suffer from glitching on a good connection - those are the facts. What the ongoing support or feature availability in the future will be like is pure speculation at this stage
Many KV advertisers like e45 try to say that KV = good and SV = bad. Both are good, both work, users have had problems with both. The SV is cheaper, better featured and works in more places currently. If you want to buy a SV6 or a KV A780 whatever you prefer, despite what E45 claims, I do sell them both.

This is how you need to set the Box up with the cables below it gives with a null modem cable and a usb and null modem cable
NOW IF YOU FOLLOW THE INFORMATION BELOW YOU WILL FIND YOU WILL GET YOUR BOX UPDATED IN NO TIME AT ALL.
First of all you will need the KryptView Loader 
which can be downloaded from HERE
Then you will also need to download the Bin file which you need to load on to the loader this can be downloaded from HERE
Download both the loader and Bin file and make sure to save them to your Desktop.
Open the Loader
, once opened you will have a box just like below.
Click on the green tab download button on the top right hand side,
Once you have pressed on the download tab (button) you will see another box open just like below,
Press open on the loader and select the Bin file that you saved to your desktop earlier highlighted in yellow,
Press open on the top box and the file will now load just like below with the Bin file selected.
Now POWER off your Kryptview AT THE BACK, press Start then POWER the Kryptview back on. You should now see the firmware starting to load,
Once done you will see download successful just like below ,
Once it has finished Downloading the file to the box let the box reboot and then you can start your scanning.
This is my first post here, and i done what its said above and it worked first time for me, very good post and the instructions are perfect,am very happy with my purchase never had the...... starview so dont know the difference, but i would recommend this box not has a problem since got it, the odd glitch but sure the........ providers boxs di that to

It is a rumour circulated by Kryptview sellers and advertisers that the Starview has 12 Months viewing. There is no expiry in the menu and nothing has been stated officially. I was told initially that KV was only 12 Months, it's only been stated unofficially that it lasts indefinitely, but it likely will as there is no expiry for that either. Both the SV and KV are the same like that.
The support for both these boxes has been almost identical. Given the nature of the business, nobody is going to stand up and announce they are supporting either box.
I can say that the Starview is cheaper and has more features, the Kryptview is an older design and is more established

looks like he not willing to put his name an reputation on the line for this so so you have got your answer must be true as he is a supplier of these boxes
here is the webpage if you want to order starview with his promise it wont go off after 12 mts as said if you are going to go his route make sure you get this in writing that it will still work after 12 mts if the server is still working and a new box is brought out or if the Sv6 is still on sale and yours is cut off

yep true im sure they will have another one but when is the question but for now the A780 is what i would recomend the 750 was a great box but you need an iconnect for that but the new A780 has a built in lan connection so no need for the iconnect but as you say do some reading im sure they be there when ya make your mind up for the time being you could always take out a min sub from your provider

Unfortunately unlike Starview, Kryptview have not supported their HD box, they will probably release a new one so you have to pay again.
@ e45 I will not guarantee that anyone can break the law, I strongly advise everyone to not break the law. If you want to guarantee that people can break the law with your KV boxes, then go ahead - but expect PC Plod to come and visit you very soon.

i would assume lincsat anyone can be caught
with a kv or sv so there is an equal chance
either way . so what if u support 1 box and he
supports another - thats called choice.
and everyone likes choice it gives them
something to think about

thanks tuohy
when a market is cornered by one box
your limited to what u can do plus
if we had only one box available they
could in theory charge what they want.
with 2 company's doing this it gives rivalry
no1 company want to over charge to much and
of course as time goes by there will probably
be othe boxes joining the race - thats why im
happy to not rush out just yet and buy.
both box boxes have there good and bad points
and of course no1 will give a cast iron guarantee
it will last forever - this is a risk game -
always has been. and even though i had a sv3 for 2yrs
with no issues at all im still willing to spend a few
weeks or months reading on box boxes sites to see whats
what.
bottom line is we all no why we are here, the risk isnt with
selling the boxes - the risk lies with us to buy them.
so no ammount of sales patter will change that.

nobody is condoning breaking the law here what im saying is that after there purchase of that box once the 12 mth period has been reached they will need to buy another box if they want to contunue viewing.
let people buy them and discover for themselves the truth and i will leave lt at that if im wrong i will stand corrected if im right it will be on your name

Well we will soon see, won't be too long now before the first SV6 used in Ireland reach the 12 Months, then you will be proved wrong again.
It's going to be much longer before we know 100% that the Kryptview is going to last more than the 12 Months that I was told when I got my first batch of I-Connectors.
