    I would, if you are able to, investigate the sat side.

    The KV are currently getting less channels than S/V BUT they have consistently been
    much more reliable, however they are still closed source being cable.

    Hi spudorang,to be honest I've never really looked into the sat side as primary source was cable feed only.I'd defo be willing to give it a good thinking over if you can give me a brief idea of set up/installation.Are sat set ups card based or server routed like the soon to be broke sv set up.Thanks.

    If you want plug n play for cable the Krypt, give SKY W a shout or a mail for one, if its sat, then look at the blade, firmware and tuts on here,

    I think you are wrong there, if you look 99% of channels are now up and working on KV compared to what is working on SV, most Sv boxes are actually off on the server now so what does that tell you, and you are quite correct KV is also closed sourced but they are not driven by greed, unlike Sv do you see them bringing out a new box ever year, did they support there older box when N3 hit yes, how many boxes have Sv gone thru mmm last count they have gone thru list below.

    7 starview boxes
    1 Starview Combo
    1 ddigital duo
    1 Euroview

    how many are left working on cable, ?? limited amount of Sv7 boxes are, Sv6 are switched off, combo on cable is dead, duo is dead, euroview is dead.

    Not a good track record for Sv is it really, and now they want people to sub to them, with a track record like that i would if people can go Sat side, for people that cant well Kv is the best option at around £140 a box.

    Channels currently working on Kv now

    Um to be honest I've stuck with cable feed as it was there and plug and play is always prefered in my opinion.Though I have heard a bit on the sat side people swear by it,so I'm in 2 minds as to stick with what I'm familiar with or just take plunge and try something new.Is there units that can run both?so you can swap and choose dependant on what's working best at the time.Cheers guys.

    Right,so with the a750 I take it there was no LAN feed so you need the iconect being an older unit? But the a780 comes ready to rock?

    figof....this is the file you need mate for your SV7 (SMGO221)

    http://www.4shared.com/file/wm4u2zwu/smgo221.html

    just follow the steps above to load the file to your sv7.

    If after the necessary steps your box does connect, then it will have a expiry date, to check this you press Menu on remote, Utilites then System Info

    If your box displays a login box "Not Registered Box" then you will have to contact the SV team for a sub. Its all somewhere on this thread, just look up.

    Don't bother paying them sv lot you'll only end up dissapointed again,if people pay them then their laughing at you.Just look for another unit like I have and teach Them a lesson for their greed.What have you to lose you seen yourself how unreliable their service is,if you pay now you'll pay forever!!!!
