huge costs to send boxes to england? what? £5 per box and £5 postage which covers up to 10 boxes is huge? wow..
its simple. u have a few choices- no one forces u either way-
-can pay to send box to be upgraded
-can wait patiently for usb firmware (which will still charge u for upgrade)
-can buy another alternative box such as mag, android etc
-can pay sly.
fact is its ur choice-as ally stated a while ago in same thread ultimately what he (and the manufacturer) are doing with this upgrade is giving u and everyone option of using their v8/v6/v9 etc with iptv without extra cost of additional hardware.
