Eurovox MAX vs Starview 2

hi everyone,
i cant decide on which to get, Eurovox Max V 2008 or Starview 2 The Box so can you guys tell me:
1. which one is better and why.
2. which channels each can receive.(im especially intrested in sky one, sky sports, mtv and discovery)
3. what do i need to make it work, e.g. pc,cable line etc.
4. Will i have to do anything after i have set it up, e.g update it and how often.

Thanks in advance, i want to get this before christmas, so any replies would be greatly appreciated thank you.

P.S. is there another box im missing which is better than these two?
