hello! i promise i have researched these boxes, but have now got the following questions (reasonable ones?!) ha ha, ok... 1) i am looking at acquiring a starview combo HD+ for it's HDMI capabilities, is there a kryptview product with LAN and HDMI? 2) Does your 12 month "subscription" begin when you install your firmware? i.e. if i bought a second hand box would it be possible for it to expire soon after? 3) does upgrading/updating your firmware begin a new 12 month contract? (ha ha, fingers crossed) 4) have i read correctly that a LAN enabled box, when connected, can receive non-FTA cable channels? (obviously illegal!) 5) has anyone reading this post had any noteworthy possitive or negative experiences with either the starview combo HD+ or the kryptview a780 (or is the a790 out now?) thanks for your time.
1 === No 2 === yes for cable part 3 === No new box 4 === Yes it will 5 === The server is up and down like a pair of nickers on the Starview 6 === The Kryptview A780 no server issues or time limit 7 === Re 790 wrong front casing thats all A780 new firmware works on that box Dated the 24/08/ 2010
cheers guys! this might seem like a fundamental question but... do you actually need a HDMI cable to watch HD channels? i mean, the kryptview sounds like a much more reliable machine, but can you watch HD channels with it? i've got a sony bravia tv.
if the box is not HD you dont get hd just because you have a HD tv and yes you need a hdmi slot on the box as well
