Things to look out for

[scottaii]

Hello there,

After reading the sticky on different posts, and some info from other people, i arrived at this.

Im going to go for the Starview 4,
* Looks nice
* Seems Very easy to setup (with the USB stick)
* Looks like a nice EPG
* Good price

What should i look out for before i buy on of these?
* How to avoid a "8882" loop? (or something like that)
* How to spot an original?

And my final thought / question :-

Can they be detected?
* Is it better to just order BB and then use the box to get the channels (that way it doesn't look dodgy if you disconnect the original box).
* Is it better to order a M package, then install both boxes so your still sending talkback to Vi*gin?

What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you Very much!

Hi,l've the read in posts clone boxes have a silver heatsink which can be seen through the vents on the cover.l have a sv4bought it in December last year.managed to 8882 it by loading the wrong software the wrong way,but recovered it using info on DK,where there's a tutorial on how to do it the proper way.The post after yours has info on clones and links to genuine sv4 suppliers.l personnally have a splitter on my bb connection as that is upstairs out of sight of visitors to the house.l use an Av infrared sender/reciever to view on the tv downstairs and change channels etc.The only way my box can be detected, l believe,is by a tv detecter van ,if l am watching a channel they know l'm not subscribed to,whilst they drive down the cul de sac l live on
