    I've only just found out about starview (duh!) and really know nothing about it. How easy is it to set up? And once set up, do any of the codes / frquencies keep changing and if they do, how easy is it for a technophobe like me to alter them?
    And can I connect a PVR (HD recorder) to it?
    Many thanks

    Starvi*w 2 (THE B0X) is the one on the market now , its easy to set up and update the firmware. Once you update to the latest firmware which can ALL be found here , you wont need the codes .

    If a new channel comes out , all you need to do is scan for it and it will find it and it will add to the list of channels you have :)

    You can buy a PVR Starview with a HD , or if you have a HDD DVD Recorder you can record that way also

    Sorry to be a pain but any idea where I can get the SV with the hard drive? Seems to be a lot less hassle to do it that way

    Grand Main good to cya, although I do apologise as I am hitting the hay as I need a few hours and then back up for it and I would say Floyd, although would like to see Ricky do it :) Goodnight Main.

    Lads could any one tell me in their opinion which is the better box, the starviev 1 or THE BOX. My dad has the starview and not had any problems with it since it was flashed a few months ago with help from the lads on this forum.I,ve read that the firmware on THE BOX has some gliches on it and loses channels then they come back after different periods of time.I was also under the impression that they don't sell the starview 1 any more but there is a website that still does. So for the purpose of less hassle etc which do you think is best. thanks in advance and thanks for all your much needed help

    Best advice if you see starview1 boxes for sale stay away as they will be clone boxes

    About the starview2TheBox i have been doing these a long time now so the best and most stable firmware to use it the V4.50 for Ireland and the V4.51 for the Uk as you all know there is new firmware out there for these boxes but they are only for enhancements only and is a beta version which means it is only in the testing so it will be full of bugs so now you know the rest is up to you

    thanks fergus, probably safer to stick with the box. just as a matter of interest do u have much hassle with the box. i mean i dont mind a bit of jip with them it,s just when family ring me up saying the boxes are no use etc it can get frustrating. as you know most people think these things should run hassle free and have no interest in maybe having a pop at getting them going themselves

    I dont have any prob with the box and i have sold lots the only reason peeps have problems is if there using a splitter which most people do so they can watch tv in other rooms this causes a decrease in the feed other reasons is bad connections like frayed cable and cheap scart leads as they will als cause picture and sound quality to deteriorate
