I have been out of country for a year and when I returned the Sats were all dead.I undersatnd by reading that all have been down. Are Pansats no more than paper weights and if so what is the best system to purchase and are programs still loaded the same way?
you will 4 sure need to get a new stb now days you only can get it to work with your high speed internet connection only or just plain old true fta but i would say buy a cnx stb with dongle
sat-man: The technology has moved from installing a new BIN to buying a device called a dongle, and attaching it to you receiver and router and have broadband service active all the time. it is called IKS. IKS devices are available for Viewsat Ultra, Soncview 360, and if you buy a CNX nano, it is included. So you are looking at a dongle worth about $80-120 and if you need a receiver, you need to spend about $120-180 The IKS service is not very reliable with very frequent outages.
