    well said mate i for 1 did do some research on the box before purchasing and my previous SV box lasted for 4 years so i was very suprised after reading posts on this forum that they will only last max 1 year but hey once bitten twice shy

    When I write the story I always have the backup in case some one ask me to answer, you should remember when ever you buy any goods the first thing you want to see where is it made in, I want you to look very carefully from top to bottom, can you see the stamp of any country admitted to named the country the box was made, because of the illegality its your responsibility and no govt will be responsible, and you could also be done by law for the use.

    SV take your money for box & 1 year sub, so they are seen to be
    involved as server is paid out of your money. All they have to do
    is send info to moderators on cable forums. This can be posted
    on forums without mentioning SV name. Then everyone knows
    what is going on. Any server on Sat that I know their clients have
    means of contacting them if there's a problem with service.
    All hell should break loose after 36 hours when people who run
    server don't inform customers what's happening

    Yes most boxes are marked MADE IN KOREA.Boxes are quite
    legal as they are sold with FTA firmware only. Do you really
    think Korean govt really give 2 fu**s about cable companies
    in britain or any british laws. It's people like you & mdt who
    allow companies like SV to thrive because you will accept any
    sh** they throw at you

    your so wrong importers pay probably about ?30 if that to sv after duties are added. then importers set servers up, ~~~~ all to do with starview. im not taking sides with sv, as said before look closer to home, sv just make what they are asked to make.

    also with the old boxes, one time it took over a week for firmware fix, so people be patient, its only tv, if its that important, pay sky or vermin.

    do you guy realise this is illegal and if it goes tits up you have no rights what so ever ? if you buy it and it goes down they tuff titty if it comes back on then join the ride and enjoy no point moaning .

    if you seriously wanted full control or as much control as possible of what you view then stop freeloading buy a satellite dreambox pay for a sub and share it simples.

    you think paying a one off fee to some chinese box manufacturer gives you the rights to free tv for life c'mon its all a game.

    my rant over

    hides under cover hahaha

    I agree totally with Jo-Jo. We all knew the risks when buying a box like this and thought it was worth the gamble. If I was the owner of the server and seen some of your rants I wouldn't want to fix it even if I could!!!!!

    We will just have to wait and see what happens and if it is fixed then we were all very lucky. If not then, gutted but Shit Happens.

    People complaining about a company ripping them off for a product designed to rip off another company is priceless...

    if everyone on here who is whingeing about buying a sv and being ripped off then they shoul have read the forums before parting with there dosh sv was the cheaper option at ?100 quid and the least reliable for an xtra ?50 quid they could have had the kryptview which i may add is still working fine when servers come back on you could end up getting years like the previous boxes my sv off aswell but i only got that for the bedroom so if you are that wooried invest in a kryptview a780 and happy viewing
