    Hi, i currently have the Starview Box Super but i am trying to find if there is a similar box that can receive HD channels. I have found the Eurovox ex7000 but cant find anything else or many reveiws about it. Also what HD channels are are avialable on virgin media. I have read that there is only BBC HD but i cant find out if there have been any more channels added recently. Thanks

    There is prob about 3 at the most, to me paying out a big amount for that box, is not worth the price for what is on it, if you are in Ieland there is none.

    None yet, they are testing though. I scanned in 6 HD channels on my abcom ipbox 900HD in dublin, has EPG but no pic. Also it has a HDMI connection and upscales the picture, it is a huge improvement over scart or component. If spent 1500 on a box & TV then I would say go for the more expensive box and slightly cheaper TV, I think you would end up with a better picture than with a cheaper box and more expensive TV.

    Thanks for the replies, think i'll wait a bit longer untill more HD channels are released, although like you said it may be worth it for the upscaling.
