How does IKS work?

I have a Viewsat Platinum and I have been testing for about 2 years now.
I'm now looking to purchase a Nfusion receiver since I am told that BEV is available with the exception of PPV and Porn.
What I would like to have explained to me is why BEV is available with IKS and not avaible with boxes such as Viewsat since the conversion to Nag3.
I know that IKS connects to the internet but I am under the impression that this is to receive new files only.
There is presently no crack for Nagra3, so how can it be received with Nfusion
Thank you

Re: How does IKS work?

In a nutshell, it (the nFusion units) utilize a set of features that other units have yet to perfect ...

Re: How does IKS work?

Thank you for your response.
I've read the post suggested by Creative Genius and I now understand that Nfusion works through card sharing. However, I've been told that I will still need a satelite dish. Why is this, doesn't the picture and sound arrive through the internet connection?
I know my questions sound dumb, but I'm trying to understand.
Thank you

Re: How does IKS work?

The decryption is received by the internet connection. the picture and sound still come from the sat stream to the dish.

"the legitimate card is attached to a personal computer or Dreambox which is connected to the Internet, and is configured to provide the legitimately decrypted control word to other receivers who request the information." IKS subscribes to that computer to receive the "control word".
your viewsat on the other hand is using a code designed to unscramble the signal without knowing the "control word".

with IKS, just like placing a phone call, the receiving line can log your IP address (like caller ID) which makes you completely identifiable. cardsharing is defined clearly in the Terms Of Service to the cardholder as Illegal, where as I have been told by a good paralegal, "what is done with bin loaded boxes lies in a grey area of the law and is no different from connecting to the internet on your neighbors WiFi"
