Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 15382 Registered: Jan-06 | IKS for coo*lsat in the works for all models & homesat, visionsat etc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c/p: new hope for older models fta I will explain it for you all so there is no mistakes. IKs type dongle that will work with 6100/7000/7100/8000/8100 to start with and they will get it to work with the 4/5/6 in a month or so afterwards or something else at that time. There was only 4 people in the usa that knew about it so its not hard to figure out who has a big mouth lol. This dongle will also be made to work with other stbs such as orasat, homesat, visionsat and more to come. Or cats out of the bag now. Also I am currently testing on the cs8000 and so far so good. It works very well. Most are preparing for the end to come or some serious down time with nagra 3. Go with what you know works best is all I can tell you. originally posted by: Blind Scan.(an admin at coo*lsat site) BTW....Captain has already released DONGLE IKS fixs for their 7000, 7100, and 8000 receivers.. Also the name Dongle is about as stupid as one can think of...if this really works and goes to other receivers, I foresee IKS getting shut down eventually!...sooner than expected.. |

Silver Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 111 Registered: Dec-07 | A dongle is a thing (device) that you plug in a parallel or USB port to activate something. It was once popular for software. For instance, you would buy a licence to use Autocad and it came with a dongle that you had to plug into the parallel port. Autocad would continously and at random check to see if the dongle was still present. If not, the software would stop working. That way, Autocad could be sure only one user at a time could use your licence. The dongle of course was not a breakable device. IKS stands for Internet Key Sharing. |

Bronze Member Username: Flu_guyPost Number: 90 Registered: Aug-07 | I think in this case the dongle would be an Ethernet to RS232 or USB conversion device that plugs into the back of the STB and allows it to access the internet directly (via the home network). Htiek |

Bronze Member Username: OnieaPost Number: 19 Registered: Sep-07 | now how hard can it be to build one i wonder? serial port communication is not that hard. I would assume the reciever is doing all the work, and the dongle is just a converter. |
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1831 Registered: Jan-08 | You can have program in receiver to drive directly on wifi connection or a outside communication board with wire network or wifi like a WII.(too much for many old box in term of memory and processor) The easy solution is connect on pc work like a server with appropriated program for all receiver we have now.The program on receiver is very simple, when PC receive a data code from server download bin program and load new bin in receiver. Very simple. BUT provider of receiver dont like this because that not give good sales Not copy and past Original from plymouth Thanks |
Bronze Member Username: OnieaPost Number: 20 Registered: Sep-07 | now that is a great idea! I was thinking since the captain already has the bin out for it, all i need to do is figure out the interface. but ariza to satopia conversion at the moment.... |
