      If you want ease and reliability I would get a ev ex1000sl or an ex7000hd

        why not try the box 4 as it is one of the simplest cable boxs to set up.

            sv 4's are also unreliable

                there is no point throwing names at the guy, you will scare him off . just give us a few clues, maybe answer the 1st questions and we will point you in the right direction

                  If you can get hold of one, I'd go for the Kryptview.

                  Between my own and mates I'm having to update Starview and DB noiw and again...but Kryptview has not really been affected in the last 3 years.

                    That's amazing, so every other box has needed updates, but kryptview has managed with firmware from 3 years ago to manage all the changes in encryption etc etc?

                    In fact it's a miracle!

                      no kryptview had to release firmware updates as well, they do seem to be the first the release them though..

                            Well you know you make it sound like the kryptview is the only box worth getting, and doesn't need upgrading like the other boxes, which is entirely untrue. I don't see how it can possibly only have needed one upgrade in three years.

                            And they still do make kryptviews by the way.

                              dreambox is the one to chose. But some folks give dbox2 top marks in cable TV
