Yes you can, works on the on both cable and sat, but bear in mind, the cable side will be defunct after a year, which means you will have to buy a new box if you want the cable side to work, for me, a dreambox HD would be better long term runner

The 12 Month cable server access was a rumour started by some Kryptview sellers, it did not come from Starview. My supplier told me that Kryptview were limited to 12 Months but other Kryptview sellers have disputed that. There is no guarantee that either will last anyway.

Now watch the other Kryptview sellers start flaming me again.

Who mentioned the Kryptview being redundant after 12 months?? not once has that one been bandied about, until now, the world and his wife know the SV's server access are only for 12 months, in fact, the bloody things can barely last a week without something going wrong, never mind 12 months, the proof is in the pudding, I dont sell either boxs, nor am I involved in any form with thier sale, but based on the amount of posts on here and everywhere else, the SV's and the end service to the punter is shite, now we can all debate each of the merits till the cows come home, but as far as I can see, Kryptview is far and above anything SV can muster, from quality, service and backup. In fact, the 12 month time frame was let out of the bag back when the SV6 started in Ireland, Dec / Jan time, it was the first thing that was said to me, before the hit the shelves and that was from a very good authority, so, the Kryptview didnt come out for about approx 4 months after that, so the Kryptview sellers must be either Mystic meg or drive De Lorean Time machines to come out with that statement, Like I say, its the end result to the punters which matter, we can see clearly who is leading that one and that aint flaming no one, I am stating results and facts in the above....results we can all see, Facts which I am well informed on....... you can trust me on that one

My Kryptview supplier told me they would only last 12 Months, my Starview supplier says they will last indefinitely. Kryptview sellers/supporters on forums have claimed that the Kryptview will last forever.

The 12 Month Starview rumour was spread by Kryptview people as has been mentioned several times before.

There are now more people coming back for 2nd and 3rd Starview boxes after they have actually tried them. You will have seen a post on TW about how bad the Starview server is, there is a page full of posts from one user that says it's down, it's glitching etc - then on page 2 when he has his cable feed sorted, he says it's not bad after all. There are other posts as well now starting to say the server is not bad when they have actually tried it. Neither server is 100%, my experience is that the servers perform very similarly.

I sell both boxes, so don't care which I sell. I just try to ensure that information is as accurate as it could be despite the flaming I have received on here from a certain Kryptview only seller.

Could be a sign of server congestion, Internet congestion or a weak cable signal.

Has anybody had any problems with a780's crashing?? mine does it maybe once every week and only when you channel surf. All you do is switch it on and off but its a bit worrying that it will break.

If you bought a TV from Comet and then went into Currys for support, what do you think they would say?

@jammo2002 - I get good feedback from paying customers as well, I do keep it confidential though, I don't post on forums who my customers are

maybe that is because you dont sell the KV and kv is much easier to set up none of this crap that has been on the forums lately cant connect etc etc at least ya plug the KV in does excatly what it says on the tin
Can't you read!!!

Typical of someone obviously involved with Kryptview or a Kryptview only seller. You'll be be repeating the unsubstantiated rumour that Starview only last 1 Year next!!

Kryptview is actually more difficult to setup as many people don't have COM ports on their PC any more. I get many more help requests from customers that have bought the KV and can't get them flashed, than customers that missed a step with their HD Combo+ and couldn't get them connected.

BTW, how is the Kryptview HD box doing on the server? As good as the Starview HD?
if that is the case why come here at all and why should you not help others regardless if they are sold by competitors or not you dont see them on here giving it loads so maybe it would have been wiser to say nothing instead of saying what you did

And we are not talking about shops here we are talking about forums where you are posting im sure if they had forums im sure there members would not say ohh if ya bought from currys im not helping you on yer bike.

ok i might like Kryptview because i think they have the best support but i still help out others as well regardless of it been digivox eurovox replay starview i dont say feck you did you buy a kryptview if ya did not your not getting my help

people expect the truth regardless if it hurts sales tell it as it is you will get better results if people want to buy your boxes great if they go off well you where up straight and honest with them but dont go fooling them as they wont come back if your straight ok you might lose some but a lot of people like starview and wont change but they will if you mislead them you wont get them back

You started all this after I posted that IMO, the Starview6 was better than the Kryptview, then you came in lying and making false accusations. People do expect the truth, when I review boxes I give an honest opinion, unlike you, I do not trash a box that I do not sell.

You have been constantly trashing the Starview for doing things very similar to what Kryptview do, then you admit to never even trying a Starview.

I have caught you out in lies before and no doubt will again and no matter how many people on here support you, I will stick by my opinion that the Starview is better featured than the Kryptview. People can easily see the features and make their own mind just look through other forums and don't just listen to rumours.

This last paragraph is very appropriate, I suggest that in future you follow your own advice, the last 2 pages of posts here have been you trashing the competition and me saying that both are very similar - just be honest for a change

You're dead right I call it arguing, cause they were arguing. No debate about it.
Calling someone a liar is not debating where I live.

I see you've edited your post to take out the "Mind your own business" and "If you dont like it you know where to go" parts. Ha Ha this is gettin better.
