But just remember Sat has many servers Sv will have just the one so think hard on this one !!
Problem with this is will folk take the chance, 25 quid to see if it works or buy another decent box for 140 plus quid.
Like I said earlier, they are keeping it cheap to temp folk back in ;).
Correct and if you work this out below it works perfect
17,000 boxes sitting somewhere with a value of ==== £425,000 that at £25.00 per box bought
so they charge people £25.00 for a 6mth sub which by my reckon there are well in excess of 100,000 boxes out there ==== £250,000 so if everyone was to pay they have lost nothing
After they get recoup their loss what will happen - - - - - - - - - - fill in the blanks yourself

Your right people will definately give it a go but I'm defo not joining that queue.I think we should just take a step back and think what next?pay for 12month and get 5month,then they say oh it just gone upto £75 for 12month and you end up with 8month etc etc.It's a track record they never deliver.Everyone has just seen 1st hand how the game changes.Who actually believes that they'll get a full 12month sub for £45 without any hitches?do you get a refund if server is down/busted.

not a happy outcome at all,if you decide to go down this road do a lot of reading up on what might happen.
i think they have now over stepped the mark and not to go down this route,and if they fix the other boxes will go the same route.

Guys, We can debate the moral merits of this till the cows come home, yes folks swill try it, but they will be the folks who were easily lead into buying a SV box in the first place and who often comeback to join in the lively debates we had here of SV v KV, Anyone with a lick on sense wont touch this, I and others have laid bare in this thread what the problem is, apart from the bare faced cheek to ask you pay for such a rubbish pirate service in the first place, its the way they are going about their business openly which aint gonna go under the radar for very long,
Now you need to ask yourself, am I the donkey being lead blindfold into another worthless starview adventure to help clear out their back log of boxs and make me 45 notes the lighter? Or Do I cut my loses, buy a Krypt, Buy a Blade if you can go Sat, but something that isnt taking more of your money and giving you nothing of quality.

i hear from other users that, starview have not setup their paypal account, users get a message on paypal saying their account dont exist. im begining to think, first they was going to sit back and see how many requests they get for the subs, thru this little programme they released yesterday, and then decide if they had enough requests. so that may be the reason their paypal acc not setup yet...
OR..paypal probably told kiddy..his not old enough

Or it could be that paypal has told them that this is illegal and its not going to condone this as its breaking copyright infringement laws which i would say is also in their terms and conditions

I'm glad they just done this to be honest now I've had time to mull it over.Whilst it works albeit poorly I might add,you just put up with it because it free to a degree.Yet now they have just given all users the push they need to purchase something better and ditch the shoddy service that we have been putting up with.I laugh everytime I think of some spotty little spectacled nerdy sv guy looking at a a mountain of boxes thinking "what the fook can we do with these now",the SV brand will tarnished forever now and you can't sort that will an update can you?Greed was and will be your inevitable downfall.

On another note if you do pay these people and after 4 mts or less they server gets busted and you have paid "YOU" will not get a refund just look at the fiasco in IRELAND they got 3 mts out of their boxes then a raid took place or so we where told and then bye bye SV we got your money now f*** o** the people in Ireland that bought in good faith have still to this day never had a working box a year on
So why should they not do the same again there is nothing stopping them saying they been raided after they have had even 50,000 subs paid for.
All i am saying is think of the way its been run now what does that tell you is it going to get better doubt it tbh

I would, if you are able to, investigate the sat side.
The KV are currently getting less channels than S/V BUT they have consistently been
much more reliable, however they are still closed source being cable.

Hi spudorang,to be honest I've never really looked into the sat side as primary source was cable feed only.I'd defo be willing to give it a good thinking over if you can give me a brief idea of set up/installation.Are sat set ups card based or server routed like the soon to be broke sv set up.Thanks.

I think you are wrong there, if you look 99% of channels are now up and working on KV compared to what is working on SV, most Sv boxes are actually off on the server now so what does that tell you, and you are quite correct KV is also closed sourced but they are not driven by greed, unlike Sv do you see them bringing out a new box ever year, did they support there older box when N3 hit yes, how many boxes have Sv gone thru mmm last count they have gone thru list below.
7 starview boxes
1 Starview Combo
1 ddigital duo
1 Euroview
how many are left working on cable, ?? limited amount of Sv7 boxes are, Sv6 are switched off, combo on cable is dead, duo is dead, euroview is dead.
Not a good track record for Sv is it really, and now they want people to sub to them, with a track record like that i would if people can go Sat side, for people that cant well Kv is the best option at around £140 a box.
Channels currently working on Kv now

Um to be honest I've stuck with cable feed as it was there and plug and play is always prefered in my opinion.Though I have heard a bit on the sat side people swear by it,so I'm in 2 minds as to stick with what I'm familiar with or just take plunge and try something new.Is there units that can run both?so you can swap and choose dependant on what's working best at the time.Cheers guys.
