    KRYPTVIEW A780 BOXES ARE THEY CRAP OR WHAT

    hi,want to ask a question without getting flamed, I am looking for reliable answers and if u cant or wont answer this post then the ppl in question have a responsability to us ppl who have bought a kryptview a780 over past couple weeks,

    !st when we bought them we were told they were the best thing since the cablebox itself, and better still than the starview as it "KEPT GOING DOWN" now my problem is that i have bought 3 of these for my home (cost ?450) unflashed ,and all was well , but as we all know they went down last monday 20th sept. (or thereabouts) and we were all told it was "SERVER MAINTANANCE" and that boxes would be up and running asap, but after couple of days they were still the same , and we were thren told they woud be back up and runnin on monday (yesterday) but still they are down , now we are told they should be up and running by today and still the same ,..
    forgive me here as i have to say my piece and feel that ?450 entitles me to .

    so if its "SERVER MAINTANANE" then surley the ppl maintaining the server should kow when these boxes will be back on and if not then they should be keeping the ppl who have bought them INFOMED as to what is happpening .or is it more than what is bieng said, have they been sussed by the cable company and if so will there be a fix and when, if there is no answer then these boxes become no better than the starview and there price should be no deerer as they are no more reliable than starview

    but either way i feel that all the "DEALERS" who are making money from ppl lke me should not be cutting and running but be here to aswer the questions that are sought and not just take money and hide behind the woodwork untill they are fixed again (and all come back out selling saying i told u so),after all when ppl were on here looking for boxes there were pm,s flying all over the place as to let ppl know where to buy them but now they are not working properly then there are no pm,s flying bout to answer questions ,.,.................


    as said at start of post this is not a post to cause trouble but to get out into the open as to what exactly is happenng to these boxes and to let ppl know as and when they are going to work again ,.or have we all done our money and the dealers are of on holidays

    OR DO WE ALL JUST BIN THEM AND GO AND SUBSCRIBE TO VIRMIN

    so come on all you kryptview guys now u have the money , whats happening with the product ,

    ps i have now lost espn too..
    what will be gone tomorrow ,.,.wheres the crystal balls ??????

    ,.,
    PS
    I am not looking for a ban just answers ,and please dont close post

            adrift, I don't have a Kryptview so this is only my opinion, I cannot believe that server maintenance can have an influence on which channels you receive via the c/s, it's simple for me, either they have full package cards on the server or they don't, there is no possible way that I am aware of, that a server could influence your channels on c/s none ! I find it odd that the server maintenance coincided with some of the last areas to go Nag3 lost channels, the same channels I'm guessing your missing @ the minute, that was my main reason for not getting a krypt or starveiw, I wanted to wait until all areas were nag3 that way I could be sure they truly were sharing nag3 cards. I do hope I'm wrong as a lot of people have spent large amounts of ??? on these boxes, I have sat c/s and can tell you now it is the surest way to receive what your after.

              wot channels are clearing
              And wots the signal levels like
              If no channels are clearing check you enthernet port is lit up
              Reboot both Box and router
              If this prob was Uk wide there would be a bigger outcry

                All ESPN channels are down in Manchester one as are a few others.

                Wigan and Preston are the same.

                      its not an ethernet problem as i have some channels . its definetly not my net ,or is it everyones net who has problems, easy way to pass the buck and u only have to look at posts on here and other forums to see it is a uk wide problem, just that ppl have believed the kryptview team and dealers when they said it was a server problem but there beginning to doubt that and if there is doubt then you have poor feedback in turn resulting in a product that no one will touch which brings price down resulting in another failed attemt and ppl doing there money AGAIN
