Captiveworks,viewsat Units = Ethernet IKS on the way !
C&P
I have confirmation that Captiveworks, Captain and Viewsat will be offering the "Dongle" to their customers in order to completely thwart the up coming Nagr* 3 card swap.
D*sh/B*v will STILL be wide open even AFTER the card swap on almost all FTA which is compatible with this new device. The dongle is basically a cool little internet capable box that connects to your FTA (via serial or USB port) and allows it to download new
FIRMWARE on the fly, keys, codes, weather forecasts, etc. It is 100% LEGAL and will convert your FTA box into an
IKS box.
The dongle guarantees 100% up time and constantly flashing your set top box will be a thing of the past as most third party
FIRMWARE will originate from Korea and be
FLASHED directly onto you box when it becomes available.
What does all this mean? It means we can COMPLETELY ignore signal integrity at d*sh and focus more time on watching tv as we will never be down.
This is a MAJOR breakthrough folks. All your boxes WILL continue to work after the card swap
