    Both are fine boxes it's just a matter of opinion which one to get, personally I would not get either box right now as we in Ireland are in the process of an encryption change, at the moment N*l are switching from N1 to N3, at the moment they are using both N1 and N2 to broadcast there programming and both the starview and eurovox are not capable of decoding N2.
    If the UK is going to go the same way as Ireland and chances are they will the only box worth getting is the kryptview box, as this box has new software to decode N2 also the itgate boxes are decoding N2 but it took 11 weeks for their software update where it took only 1 day for the kryptview fix, so you will need to make up your own mind.
    All kryptview boxes are sold out at the moment and wont be back in stock until the end of the month, the itgate boxes are in stock.


    I know that this is a bit confusing but basically only buy one of these boxes. Hope this helps you out a bit.

    i suggest you look at the supported boxes first over any box and as kryptview has been first in both Uk and ireland with fixes first i suggest you think before you buy

    also starview and eurovox are able to support and cope with N2 they have just not fixed the problem by releasing a file that is all
