Little advice: Stop buying FYHD black box

[simpleneazi]

I just got one box couple of weeks ago and guess what, I just knew that Black FYHD is no longer producing. Checked with my seller, he said the chip is no longer in production.
I know most of these models are out of stock but if there are some remaining stock, please don't buy this model anymore. No more production literally means no more firmware updates. Suggest to get other box like DM or other brands.
I guess I'm stranded now like other bros who have bought this model too. Good luck to us and hope there wouldn't be any major change in near future that requires update.

This is a budget idiot proof HD box.. don't expect as much as other db that cost almost double for a HD set..
DB also not as easy to update as this box.. need to ftp in the info so give and take, I consider worth it if I can use one full year considering the subscriptions paid to SH..

Yes the black FY have stop production, white FY stopping..

News is that from the seller i know, they said 28 august starhub will change to N3. Which i doubt so soon. Most likely september late as from what master jatrophaseed said. And starhub should give amber amount of time to let users to change their set up box and cards.

However, there is also a member who was using the starhub scv-3800c machine, received a letter from starhub to change the set up box if not by october 24 he is not able to view the channel.

so with this N3 thingy going on, will our current FYHD box able to still view? or do we need to get DreamBox?

will not support. It was said before in early 2013 by master jatrophaseed that 70% of china box will not work. so highly it won't.

Won't recommend getting a dreambox also..

Based on the supplier take on the types of boards, I would avoid most FYHD series, the poor QC on parts and PCB designs is to blame for all the power related and boot issue, and likely will be present in the latest release.
FYHD800C multiple versions III to V, and the old 600C. Just read the old threads here.

Whereas the other designs with latest box with Youtube/IPTV, the plastic mini MVHD800C-VII and the HD501C/DM802SE/TnHD 999C also used different motherboards, would likely have bad QC, but so far, little was heard, thus still a safer bet.

If your wallet is fatter, the Dreambox and SunRay boxes are the safest bet. Lots of Carebears here will help u out. Image Updates and Service Files.


It's all BS on the chipset is no longer in production, this chipset MSD 7C51K is still widely used in many media players.

i highly doubt it is 28aug, i just turn on my FYHD800C-VII mins ago and it is still working. maybe 30-31aug since there's rumour going on about raiding our black box. LOL

i wasn't sure if it was true, but when i purchased my black FYHD800c-VII i remembered i saw on seller's website stating that N3 is supported for black FYHD800c-VII under the box information. I went back to the seller's website again yesterday and realise "Nagra 3" which was stated previously had been removed. So i wonder if the black FYHD800c-VII will still work after SH upgrade.

It's N3 capable but not independent full N3 support.

So it may work with some other stuffs supporting it.
