Which beginner box?

[john18715]

I'm looking to get a box for a friend who hasn't had one before. I'm obviously thinking either eurovox or starview. However, I am a bit put off by reading about widescreen issues on some of the boxes. I, myself, use a 500c but would rather not go down the road of telling him he'll need a signal booster and attentuators etc.

Which of these "noob-friendly" boxes are the best for true 16:9 and also tuner sensitivity?

Cheers.

then I would say the next best thing is the Krypview box

once setup it looks after itself
crash's have been reported but a quick reboot solves this so no real hardship ?

box sorts channel order same as cable provider and also sorts new added challes into provider place,and also has a bouquet function

if its just tv he is wanting Im sure this box will do dont expect fireworks but hey it works

the 7 day EPG dosent work for Ireland though

i woud say get a pvr 5000 as well dead easy to set up...jus slot the h/d in...if you get one with it i would.. 129.99 is a steal for A great box.. then do a scan and everything is sorted...auto sort all the favorites and all...... well i like it.!!!
