New Eurovox : very new so not much support or info yet
Starview 7 : C@ble only ..... Records and streams from PC. Needs internet connection also.
Starview Combo : C@ble and Satellite. A must if you have c@ble feed and a dish feed. Records and streams from PC. Also HD. Internet required.
Kryptview A780 not HD. Internet Required
These are the most popular and supported there are others but you pay more on top for channels.

Others for example Dreambox 500c Technomate 6900.

It is not named Eurovox but similar, it is called Euroview.



Re-branded Starview HD STB RRP ?200 so a bit on the high end and will be connected to the same server as all other previous models.

1st firmware release can be downloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...-release-1444/

You're welcome, I would recommend you take a look at not only the threads in the Starview section but also the Kryptview section.

You can then make a more informed decision.

Doh !!!!.....

Doh !!!!.....

It is not named Eurovox because it is not a Eurovox. It is
manufactured by Starview & will use Starview server. HD is all
very well if server is not overloaded at peak times such as
live football matches on ESPN

The server will last as long as it is not circumvented. Yes from what I hear it is a year only sub on each model.

Here is a pic of the back of the box, similar to other cable HD models:
