I read a post that someone purchased a dongle box do you have to purchase something additional now for Coolsat 8000HD Box?

a dongle is a little adapter that plugs into the serial port of the receiver.on this dongle is an Ethernet port.
its an adapter that lets your coolie run iks.
iks= internet key sharing.
its more reliable than running files.but some chose not to run it for security risks involved.

currently coolie is in very early beta stage of iks.
common problems are freeze up/lockups/and only a handful of channels thus far.
