Its the way the new code was written, it tells a certain eeprom to cease working after a certain amount of time, as you can see certain boxes have been effected because the same eeprom was used in god knows how many boxes.
They done it before with the old boxes killed them off to make people buy new ones remember the SV2 then you had the Sv3usb, then the killed that off it was then starview 4, and now they are up to the Sv7, you where all warned about this possible 2 yrs ago, but where shot down as trying to stir stuff up or sell other peoples boxes, well the other box is still going strong and still no subs.
Ohhhh and before i leave this post the "EUROVIEW" is going to be the next box to be dumped on scrap heap, i wonder what it will be on the screen this time ROFL the little green men from mars has turned it off ROFL
As for Kiddy and Starkings banning people from their forum for speaking out, count yourself lucky they are doing you a favor by not taking anymore of your hard earned cash.
