    Right i get it from time to time mine expires on the ex.Pact same day as yours.Press exit or ok that usual gets rid of the message then rverything goeas back to normal viewing.If this doesn't work what i suggest is switch off your box from the back plus do the same with modem/router,give it acouple of minutes the switch back on,allow time for it to settle downIf you're getting not connected in the corner of the right bottom of your picture you've got a problem.All again is give it time to settle go on a p/p view channei i.e sky sports 1 press 1819 with your remote and see what happens?Failing all that go into your menue go to options scroll down to net work press ok drop down to SW download and press ok.When it's done it's thing press exit back to a p/p channel 1819 and everything should be sweet.But the way its just done it with me and i've just done the following and i'm back good as gold.Good job i checked the inbox then i switched my telly on any alls good PM me if you get any difficulties.

    Your talking a load of waffle m8, as soon as your box has expired you will get nothing unless you pay for it, your box will be cut of the ser*** like the rest of them where, then you put your hand in your pocket and pay them for the rights to watch your tv channels.

    Or do what others are doing and change over to Sat simple.

    Whats your problem dont you think i already know this? I've even signed up with'"The kiddy,if you read we were talking about slight glitches you get from time to time we know that they are far from perfect but on my budget it suits me fine thank you very much.The guy was having trouble with his box i give them some advice and he's back on simple.Come Sept i'll pay my subs,so less of the insults infact i dont know why i'm replying there's always one out there Mr i've got the best and you lot are insufficient.Infact i will avoid you as from now .

    Alright Keverman,yeah i was a bit touchy really i shouldn't of bit,but surely you can see where i'm coming from.The guy was having problems and i give him some advice as i get the same problems from time to time and i thought that this is the place to ask?Or am i on onother planet?by the sound of things i may as well be cos my box came from the flintstones but do you know what ! i dont give a shit i'm happy others are happy so why do you get ripped for having a SV.Not having a go at you mate you sound like a guy who likes a laugh.

    Yes I do like a laugh and yes you have a right to own a S/V if that's your choice, but the guys on here really aren't having a go at you personally, they have just been pissed off by people who do whinge about a S/V problem on here when they have advised the same people not to buy them in the first place, and secondly S/V have their own website to sort out the problems but still they come in here expecting help.It just gets a bit tiresome, but one thing is for sure, these guys will provide help if it's really needed, they've even managed to help a dummy like me on occasions,lol

    Yeah i totally agree with you, there is a s/v site and i'm a member i mentioned the guy who's running the show," the kiddy", there's all can of rumours about that site,you have to pay to join the forums and all that crap.A little over two weeks and they've got over 400 signed up.I come on this sit as i'm looking at satellite/ Blade,but if you come across some poor sod who's struggling i'll give him a hand.People need to be a bit more tolerance as usually the one with a s/v is a beginner and didn't realise the hassle that comes with owning one and lets have it right," After Dawn", is one of the most well knew sites.So word of mouth it's the first place they come,what do you do?turn the site into a class thing sorry for being cynical like you said,"dummies like you like me and the rest",frowned upon?where does it stop?Any way onto a lighter subject thanks for the PM nice having a chat and hope to follow up on the right and wrongs of the tiresome one!!! You take care mate as you nver know whats round the corner ha ha! easy now

    you could try just saying what you want instead of adding to other quotes ,it takes up space and more reading involved lol,the thing with all these forums were a hobby,starview went their own way and charge people now and they have their own forum for help as they pay for it use it.we can help to a point.

    Sorry guys, but why oh why are you all surprised.. by anything got to do with SV, when your sub is up I would look at other and better options, whether that be Sat or cable,

    i was thinking of the blade mate looks a piece of piss to set up, will wait tho if or when kv fails. cant believe sv are now robbing a month off people to make them take out early subs.
    there not ripping me off mate, i knew about nagra 3 before it hit my area and i asked which box to buy on here and was advised on the krypt and glad i took the advise, It's just some people had a starview before n3 and didnt ask for advise there box went off so upgraded to sv 6/7 which is understandable, but now i bet the loyal sv customers are boiling which they have every right to be. its all about the money now with starview and there even scooping lower now by theiveing months off them. as if the subs wasn't bad enough they have resorted to stealing something you actually paid for which is 12 month viewing.

    I'm with you all the way my friend,lets have it right we do what we do cos we cant afford the real deal,so it makes life a little bit better.Then comes along svsupport pay up or you'll get the plug pulled?It goes against everything," sharing ", thats as a new meaning now it's called support and that equals money.Anyway that's my little grive out the way,if you do decided to get a Blade,let us know how you go on,tongs,as like you i'm really interested in going that way.Nobbie is your man he'll put you right and he seems to be a nice fella the type who'll help and give you good advice.As soon as i get my paper in i'll be giving him a ring.Hope all goes well for you mate and i'll pm you if anything crops up take it easy now.
