ive been reading about everywhere on virgin media boxes but i come accross a thread on starview boxes and dont know if im reading the info properly so ill ask a few questions, do these boxes need cards at all?
can i get all the original programs a virgin media box would get like skysports 1-4, sky movies ect...
will the box work in my area? (newport, wales)
which version is best? im guessing 5 or 6
is it easy as changing a code when the box goes down?.
sorry for looking a complete noob but ive had enough of the vigin boxes going down all the time so i thought i would have a change :D

will the box work in my area? (newport, wales) yes if your area has changed to nag.3
which version is best? im guessing 5 or 6 starview.6 or starview hd combo
is it easy as changing a code when the box goes down?. your broadband does the updates for you

the starview 5 is no good now
there is the hd combo and the sv.6
also they are the cheapest on the market at the moment
you also have another choice of the krypt a780
