Life after starview

[Joe Tisseo]

As we all no starview has now vamooshed into abyss, im now thinking of alternatives and would welcome any suggestions, either sky sat or VM based, Im looking for reliability and ease of setup if possible, had a search on the sky sat side of things and it seems a very complex system to set up. Hoping you guys could point me in the right direction in regards to having the same sort of setup to which i have just lost in starview. Thanks

well mate as you have ditched starview your only other viable option on cable is kryptview but they dont have all channels either (atm) so my advise to you and probs from alot of other ppl on here would be the sat side there is a few boxes that are straight forward to set up cheers

[Joe Tisseo]

I dont mind going sky side, little question, ive got a dish from sky, but not currently subscribed to any of their services, would i still be able to run a dreambox from that or do i need a subscription to sky, for the card etc, thanks for the reply

[termiantor]

yes you can run a dreambox from the dish thats up the now and no you dont need to subscribe to sly but please use google for cs

i have just dumped my starvie and kryptview, sold them on fleabay

i went to the satellite side, and gues what, i should have done this a lot sooner.

i bought a 1m dish
technomate motor
cable
technomate box

then got a sat engineer to install.

i then trawled the forums researching card share and patched my box

and hey presto, job done.

everyone on this forum are more than happy to help if you ask for it. i would recommend getting a sat

Hi Pulsaruk !

Do you mind me asking how much the set-up costs were, i.e. equipment and set-up etc ? As I'm thinking of going the same way, since I was previously on SV, with an expiry date of 15 Sept and logged on this morning to find they had changed exp date to 15 August - TODAY ! What a rip-off ! SV is going in the bin !

Thanks

instead of binning the sv recycle it sell it on ,a few quid is a few quid put towards new set up is it not?
