Starview 6 Futureproof ?

lol, No no Hostel moments until I got home!!! lol

 

then it turns from Hostel to Hostile

 

Man there is some well bad scaremongers here...... I got my SV6 last week and it does what is says on the box and plenty more ;-) I live in Santry Dublin and I can confirm it works a treat, much better than the last one faster and a nicer layout. Just the streaming to test now but if that works as good as the rest its a bargain even just as a media streamer from my PC. Cheers Starview lads! - be aware you will need a broadband connection nearby unless you have homeplugs it means dragging a cable up the stairs.

 

Whats home plugs?

 

They run the network signal down your plug sockets instead of running a cable follow the link below netgear do them:

no body sayed it didn't work all what was said hope it lasts
did they tell you when you bought it that after a year you will need a new box.???
as i don't mine as long as they tell people before they buy them
give people a choice and don't con them .
people can aslo go for the dreambox which will still work after a year

 

BRILLIANT!!!!!
Never heard of these before....thanks for enlightening me
PS. What broadband speed do u have?

 

Need some servers to connect to on dreambox though. And you'd need to set it up yourself. Heard people trying to set it up at present but not heard any confirmed working.

 

200ish euros 17 a month I still think its a bargain and I have a media streamer at the end where can I go wrong?
How will the dreambox work if it doesn't go off?

 

in a mates house as we speak trying to get it to work,followed clairb tut.but still not working?any ideas?

 

no idea mate type it in here prob ur best bet

 

They save a load of messy cables, I have the 3mb broadband and it doesn't affect the speed of my downloads and vise-versa it doesn't affect viewing when I'm downloading. oh and I found them cheaper here:

Check under network settings see if you have got an IP address from the router I had to take mine to the router turn it off and back on when attached direct and it got the IP and kicked into life.

 

cheers mate will check that now

 

my ip adress is different to what is there?

 

cheaper again

ok folks anyone help me here,im in network..ip settings..and all windows are full of OOOO.Have did factory reset and still the same.

 

Can you enter the details manually?

 

Is it attached direct to the router and set to DHCP(automatically find ip)?

 

lads just a quick one, is using the new SV6 safe?

i presume theres some server which is providing access for the new SV6, is there anyway your ip address can be traced by using one of the new boxes???
