[toe471]

Hi Guys

Ive had a eurovox for some time now and box itself has been good but very buggy.

N3 is gonna be hitting most areas of lancashire soon as we have had new cards so therefore im looking into buying this new set top box (Kryptview a780).

I would really appreciate it if i could spk to some1 who has already got this box to see how it is. I would like to know, when you buy the box, do u have to pay monthly for it with it being setup via the net? whats the picture qaulity like? can we get most of the channels, i.e sly sports, movies, esnp? etc...

welcome to dk toe, there is no monthly fee to pay only the cost of box. picture quality is very good and with very little feeze, you can get all the channels that you have before, but as it being connected to a server there is the odd blip on the system so to speak. so you may switch on and find a channel showing waiting for codes and then it will just open and away it goes again, but this happens very little so on the whole it works most of the time. now the sticky bit is how long do you think its going to last, if you got 6 months happy days! if you only got a few weeeks you would be peeved, its a gamble mate.

thanks for the reply wilf!!!

Yeah they sound awesome, wats the connection set-up tho? do we still need to plug into cable and lan or is it just lan?

I will get one of these boxes if they are watchable, i was worried about them being blotchy and that with it going through internet. How long they suppose to last?

I was reading up on the starview 6 but a few said they are crap, kryptview all the way!

Can you reccomemd another better box???

no ,,if you have a cable package and internet you should be ok but if you just have bb signal will be low causing freezing and blocky.

Yep and works a treat.

[cactikid]

some areas have a weaker bb signal as people have posted problems and using splitters,as i dont have any box and in irl so different problem,i would still say a good buy box.

Thanks for the good advice guys

I just have broadband through virmin at the moment but no cable tv, so therefore if i get one of the kryptview a780 boxes basically i plug into virmin line and plug into braodband and we are up and running??

I was worried about buying a box and then it would be no good

You hit the nail on the head.

So no need to bang your head against the wall.

[cactikid]

the box will work but it may have a lower signal as bb is lower than what you get with a cable package,the only way is to try it and see,some have no problem using it.

[toe471]

Is there another road to take other than this one? with virmin going oner to n3 it maybe a good idea to try something else?

Some1 mentioned satellite cam cards, ive not really done my homework on this issue but i take it u have to pay up a bit for it though? Any1 no about this??

[middots3]

Is there anywhere to get this box abit cheaper?
I've been looking around and can only see them going for ?100+ usually.

Would i have to wait till my area goes N3 or could i get the box up and running before it goes N3 thanks .
