      Thanks for welcome and quick reply.

      So is the starview 7 the best box or are there better on the market vs the cost difference ?

        you need to decide if you are going to use a cable box or a satellite system, they are two totally different systems so you cannot compare one against the other

            haven't had any experience with these boxes but by reading plenty of posts the Kryptview A780 seems to get the nod
            on the cable side you have the choice of a SV6 - SV7 - or SV HD Combo - Kryptview A780

            your best bet is to have a good read of the starview and kryptview forums

                ive had both ...and theres more channels on sat than virmin...and for the cost of the c/s and the fact they both last a year cable and sat ...i went back to sat...

                but the choice is yours!

                I have the starview 9600 caci and i think it works great ..the epg could do with updating like the dreamboxs etc but its easy to use

                  one bad thing about the 9600 caci is that the epg is caci..you only get whats on and the next prog...but nothing else..?

                        those boxes arent available now as only a few hundred were made , and they were the sat version of the sv combo which in a different guise is a spiderbox or another one

                        the 9600 lan can use the combo file or just the sat file

                        no its not like cable either , as its satellite and so completely different

                        but it is like the sv combo if used only for satellite and if you ignored the cable side on the combo

                        so treat one as a sv combo but with no cable connected and you get the picture

                        if you havent got one , get a spiderbox or blade instead

                          How does one edit the TP list on a starview 9600- either on the box or via the UDB file ?
