Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 31 Registered: Dec-06 | which is better? 1. Go with local provider and pay $20/month 2. buy receiver online and subscribe online |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7333 Registered: Oct-07 | Bhaumik modi ..what are local dealers are offering/?and on which reciever? |
|
Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 32 Registered: Dec-06 | Local dealers are offering $160 for the receiver and $20 per month subscription. If i buy the receiver online, i could get the whole package (receiver + 1 yr subscription) for under $200. Not sure which one is reliable...who to go with |

Silver Member Username: Pirate_pete_208Post Number: 307 Registered: Jan-10 | Bhaumik Modi........In my opinion your safe bet would be a monthly subscription. $20.00 per month = $240.00 per year if they last a year You say.....whole package (receiver + 1 yr subscription) for under $200. it don't make sense, why would they take less then $200.00 now for the whole package when a year from now they could collect $400.00 maybe they are not planning to be here a year IKS is not my bag My neighbor does a Sub_sharing with a friend I let him park his boat on my property so he got me an extra receiver at no charge as lone as he can park his boat on my property. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19873 Registered: Jun-06 | Bhaumik. In general, you will find that the established IKS services charge a lot more than some of the newer ones. In Toronto, I am told, that people have bought a Drembox at $350 and are paying something like $35. They have been up and running without the slightest interuption for the past 6 months or longer. I mention this, because there are cheaper services which offer for less and you get interuptions. Another problem is the reliability of the person or site which is selling the product to you. In the current market, and in a strict reply to your query, I would say buy the receiver separately from a reliable dealer, and pay $20 per month for the service. Rely on sada to give good advice and Captain Hook to always interupt with nonsense. |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4828 Registered: Dec-06 | NALIN .. why not let the member decide who is giving out good advice rather than giving you own opinion on who to listen to or not. From what I have been reading, your opinion isn't that credible. SO STFU NALIN |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4829 Registered: Dec-06 | the rules state do not demean other members or is it just everyone but you that has to go by the rules. You are acting like a child ratting out on people or better yet .....YOU ARE JUST BEING RUDE!!! |

Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 33 Registered: Dec-06 | Thank you all for sharing your opinion. Let's not hate eachother here... I appreciate all your comments... |
|
Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4830 Registered: Dec-06 | to late for "Let's not hate eachother here" been doing that since "it" (Nalin)registered here and he is doing the same to me. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19877 Registered: Jun-06 | Doreen: I only said: Rely on sada to give good advice and Captain Hook to always interupt with nonsense." You say "and he is doing the same to me." I did not comment on any lack of ability on your part. There are a lot of people in the computer section of this forum who rely on your help. Never once have I commented against about your ability in computing and helping with Torrent and similar cheap downloads of good and costly software. Keep it up lass, as the Scotish would say. There are a lot of Highlanders waiting in the computer section to pipe you in with Scotish Bagpipes. |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4836 Registered: Dec-06 | "Captain Hook to always interupt with nonsense." Just what is that? sounds like a slam to me and demeaning. WHO IS TO SAY WHAT IS NONSENSE? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19883 Registered: Jun-06 | Just a statement of what Captain Hook always does. Nothing about you Doreen, unless YOU are posting in the name of Captain Hook - are you? |
|
Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4843 Registered: Dec-06 | NO i meant you hate me as i hate you "Let's not hate eachother here" I said "he is doing the same to me" ..... |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19887 Registered: Jun-06 | I certainly do not love you, in the social or any sense. That does not mean that I hate you. English is a very good language. You should learn more of it to understand the nuances. Don't start with Shakespeare or even Charles Dickens. Start with "Pride and Prejudice" by jane Austen, then watch the movie. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7336 Registered: Oct-07 | LOL enough of fighting .. so these local dealers do they have their own private server ?? and i never tried dreambox 500 .. most of them that they are selling .. is that uses iks as well?? or u need to connect it to computer ..(carshare etc) to make it work.. well if u pay $ 20 / month and buy a reciever for $ 200.. or so .. why not get a friend or two and get subsharing or is it expensive?? |
|
Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4848 Registered: Dec-06 | EEWWWW i sure hope you don't "love"me   |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19890 Registered: Jun-06 | sada: Just as in any other consumer product, there are different price levels and price structures. This particular expensive Dreambox service I posted about ($350 + 35/mo) is said to be only available from this one person, who adverises by "word of mouth" and excellent service. I don't have it - I don;t have any IKS service. "why not get a friend or two and get subsharing or is it expensive" - You can do it using Linux (such as Ubuntu) and a bit of know how and x-dongles. You can buy x-dongles from alibaba.com. Also look at the description of this product from them |

Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 34 Registered: Dec-06 | I have no clue about subsharing...but seems interesting, something I wouldn't mind doing as long as it is reliable. Little more info would definitely help... |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7340 Registered: Oct-07 | Nydas 350 for reciever very expensive.. .. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 36 Registered: Dec-06 | So, based on all your comments, I went with local dealer with monthly subscription. Few issue's with dreambox I have noticed so far (none are showstoppers); 1. No component input (picture quality not as great) 2. Cannot add channels to favourite (may be I don't know how to) |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7344 Registered: Oct-07 | bhamuik which dreambox is it ?? how much local dealers are charging?? did u get the services or u stil thinking to get it.. how much are they selling dreambox for.. is it on monthly basis or u need to pay for an year.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ModiPost Number: 37 Registered: Dec-06 | paid $160 for the receiver and it's $20 / month subscription You can pay in advance or pay monthly...either way is ok with the dealer |
