    What info you looking for Dave? All on the previous pages about the cost etc etc, its working, up and down, if you dont have one, if your on cable, I would suggest you go krypt no furthur costs, Starview will be costs going forward, or have a look at sat (Hd boxs at this stage)Dream or Blade,

    Nothing at the moment as far as I know

    also kryptview's have been really iffy this last few weeks, missing loads of channels
    such as discovery, though I expect it to improve.

    Thanksfully I also now have sat.

    well i suppose its better to be missing some channels and it be for free, or to pay Starview for it and still be missing channels.

    So now if you want Starview's help you have to pay to get on their forum, what a joke this will be the straw for the camel i would say.

    Dont think so e45, as some folk will pay hand over fist until it blows up, thats they way some folks are, they paid for their box and god damn it they wont part with it till they got something out of it, even if they will part with more good money after bad to keep their box working, spend more money to save pennies, rathur than cut their loss, change direction and go Sat or a Krypt, scottish fathers and mothers from Cavan.......

    Is it possible that you flashed the box with a non clone firmware and that has killed your box, you might have to find an erase file and the flash it again, i would say you will have to do this via a null modem cable.

    I thought I had the right file, then maybe not, when i got the box last year i updated it, i can't remember what i did yesterday never mind last year. The error message coming on the unit error "no ca found." were will i get an erase file?

    Thanks

    so from reading this forum it looks like i should ditch my starview hd combo and get me a k a780. only question with my starview i plugged into my cable cable if you get me then downloaded firmware online to a pen drive and away i went.
    what is the process i need to go through from plugging in my a780 to watching channels and do i need anything other connections apart from my cable providers cable and power etc.
    p.s i have tried going back and reading for the answer but cant seem to find it but if it is i am happy to be re-directed.
    thanks in advance

    Flash with null modem cable like the olden days of the starview 1 and the eurovox loader and bin file.

    Hope this is still within the remit of this thread

    Have a few SV7 boxes out there and most expire aug 15 (1 expires sept I think)

    I also have 2 boxes myself which I want to shift quick.

    Q. Has anyone paid their 25-45 quid I hear about, because I am about to get grief when they go off and need to at least get THEM to pay that money.

    Sorry if it has already been covered elsewhere.

    I do appreciate the security aspects of the above.

    thanks

    Just noticed the links to a support forum thread, so as question above please,
    Has anyone paid them?

    Have you checked out SMGO 2.21 ups firmware,usually once your expiry date is up use this firmware and you'll find it'll give you abit or more life.The other alternative is subs alas,"The Kiddy,".Anyway good luck i'm in the same boat so we'll probably cross paths again.Take care and watch out for the money hungry shites.
