starview 7 shelf life

[firhilljohn]

Having read quite a few threads on the forum it seems that the starview 7 boxes will only last for 1 year, my question would be this what happens if you buy 1 of these boxes say in 10 months because you were not aware of the lifespan would you then be paying for something that may only last 2 months does anyone know when the servers are likely to go offline for good?

Regardless of when you purchase the box, the internal clock timer would start ticking from when you first connect the box to SV server.
No one knows when the servers may go offline for good as this is a gamble and highly dependent on the people who run the servers.
When the servers/box sellers stop making profit, you can be sure the servers will cease to exist or until they get caught as already happened in Ireland.

But why buy a SV 7 with a time limit, when you can buy a Kryptview a780 with no time limit?

Kryptview A780 if it had no time limit why it?s running on the server? As far as we all know any thing running on server has no guarantee.
