Starview 6 Futureproof ?

Point taken.

 

Just read this whole thread, some interesting stuff & some interesting posts. You can't go wrong with the addicts here & local residents on here... good stuff guys. I wonder whatever happened to "theman111", he never showed up for his big 6pm presentation - I do hope he's ok !!!

I was contemplating getting the SV6 (thanks for the PM's) to avail of the cable service but the drawbacks are the absence of HD & having to bin another box after a year...(or less), and possibly having to change my ISP from you know who....just in case they're tracking the IP to the SV c/s server!!!

I reckon the best, sure way is to set-up a private c/s service between family/friends. Someone pay the full subscription to sly & broadcast it to the small group. You'd need a satellite pointed to astra, HD receiver & internet connected. There is the initial setup costs for the satellite & HD receiver (plus chipping in for the subscriotion) but I've seen it working & it's fantastic.
But I'd say I'm missing a few drawbacks to this too, no?

 

I think you have been answered all ready in another post that you made do you think by putting in the same post somewhere else you are going to get different answers !!!!


Pointless multyposting the same questions on the same forum !!!!!!!!

 

Well I didn't really have a question in my above post. I more or less just made a statement. I thought I'd add my tuppence-worth on the StarView future proof subject after my long read!!!

You'll see I did acknowledge PM's (meaning posts & other input from the previous thread) in my post...

 

hi lads new to this might be in the wrong place have sv6 worked fantasticly well now the screen is completely blank on the tv nothing blue screen when i power it on and off boot vcr comes on display on front of box has this happened to anyone its a real pain

 

dont multipost, you already have a thread open asking the same thing, you have been answered there

 

right boss wont do it again

 

Here is my story lads any help would be great.

I am going to get a starview 6 but I need some info please, I also need a new internet provider as I have just told U*C to get stuffed, will the SV6 work with one of those 3G or Meteor bill pay toggles(the ones that work anywhere) or do you need a wireless connection?

Any advice on a internet connection to get that will work the box, and at the same time allow the kids to use internet, any advice or a PM would be great. Thanks.

 

Na you will need a proper connection Dave as the box wont understand what to do
with the Dongle from Meteor or what ever

so you need a stable connection Imagine are supposedly good or Magnet why ya drop upc

 

You can use one of those if you have it plugged into your laptop/pc and turn on Internet Sharing and then run an ethernet connection to the box. How reliable that is though is anyones guess as they do tend to fluctuate randomly in bandwidth. One or two on here are using it this way and I have used one temporarily on a sat box.

 

Only got rid of U*C cause I went to SLY now fed up paying there prices, BTW does it matter that I have no landline, all I have is the live U*C feed coming into the house.

Thanks aswell Mooley.

 

The meteor dongle works a treat lads.. No worries!

 

@ Dubfella

Are you using the meteor dongle as described above (via a laptop) or have you discovered another wrinkle?

 

LOL

 

if you look back along the thread im certain there is a mention of a router that you can connect your dongle to ,there is also a link to look at it .i dont know anything about it my self as i dont have it but it may be worth a look .

 

Anyone aware of when the nw SV6 came out, was it since Feb?
Just want to see how long it is lasting...

 

bout Jan / Feb

 

How long it has lasted is probably irrelevant, the question is how long it WILL last ?!!

 

Given the amount of traders streaming the transponders probably a while by calculations unless they change something which is possible. But only once the uptake escalates

 

scouser, any idea why it shudn't be possible to do the same on chokus cable?
