First of Khan, you and your uncle "DID" not purchase the box directly from starview, you purchased the box from a retailer selling merchandise, you knew and everyone else did when you bought this box it could go off at any time, same as the rest of us.
Now the Starview ser*** was busted and your box was cut off for a number of weeks, and this could have been the end of the box dead in the water, what would you have done then ??, or could you have done, yes correct nothing, remember you bought that box as a FTA receiver and as such the FTA channels work regardless of when you bought the box, you and you alone decided to use patched firmware on your box along with thousands of others, to defraud virgin media of a subscription to premium tv channels, and yes we all know what the box was purchased for and the reason they where sold neither here nor their at this point.
Now after Starview was busted your box and thousands of other peoples Starview boxes where dead, so now we have another third party get the boxes up and running, they could have just left it but they decided ok there is money in this so lets grab a bit of it, its the same as any Company, they see a gap in the market grab it and make money that's what its about, not to do things for free, so they released firmware for the Starview box, "DID" they ask you or others to use it ?, they where good enough to give you x amount of time on a box they did not even sell to you, and you are complaining about that, at least you are able to view your channels, what about the thousands of others that eurovox and replay light did not get back on or the 5 other Starview boxes that also went to the dump.
If a company you worked at for 20 years closed down tomorrow and dumped you out, and i came in and opened that company and decided not to take you back even though you had worked there for 20 yrs so what, tuff i own the new company and its my choice what i decide to do or not do, its the same for the cable box you bought, go back to the retailer you purchased it from them and say you want your money back, you and i both know what you would be told to do, the people that are running the Sv server are a "TOTAL" different Company so they owe you nothing or others, they have decided they want to make money regardless of having 3000 people im sure that is low estimate tbh and is much higher, good on them, you want to watch your tv or your uncle put your hands in your pocket and pay, or get a subscription and then you wont be giving them your money SIMPLES !!!!!!
