Best receiver as off now

[Mastaan]

Well I have been doing research and reading up on the receivers that are currently working. I wanted to buy a receiver that will work for a long time on this Nagra 3 for both b3v and Dn. Basically i want all the international channels, and I think K-box has the most int. channels. Is there any site where i can check all the channels that are up and running? Also should I just wait and see if viesat will ever come back to life... I have 2 of those receivers. Another question is IKS the only solution to this ... or is there something better comming up in future that i should wait for?

Thank you for reading.

i would say either the sv8000hd or the kbox

[gibahca]

this is all about testing if you have some $$$ to spend go get a kbox to test.
Yes you'll get international channels and BEV(has been add today!!!).
But looks like SV is doing a great..i mean a awesome job on IKS system.

Many of the IKS enabled units:

nFusion
Sonicview (360's and the 8000HD) with iHub
Kbox units

All seem to be having varing success so go the reports.

replace xx with tt. Note that this only shows what is up and not the state of freezing. Go to the forums for that.

It would be a toss up right now. With IKS, one might be up today and gone tomorrow or vise versa. It's really tough to pin-point a perfect receiver right now. Just do as much reading as possible and after that then you should be leaning one way or another. But make sure you know what all the technology terms and uses for them.

k-box and sonicview seem to be the 2 best at the moment..

I don't know who is updating that spreadsheet, but it is totally INACCURATE for Sonicview's iHub. It lists many SD channels as "(HD)" and they are not. Then the actual HD channels that are available, are not listed as "UP." What a mess!

[johdomi]

You can buy azbox on EBay and someone was trying to use it and needed some help here on abadaa

Good point. Why dont you make an accurate one?

[Victor Hugo]

Kbox and the SV, looks like they are the best solution.

[eclipsemoon]

I would say Sonicview 8000 and Nfusion Hd, i like the sonicview just a liitle more that the Nfusion hd, because of the great guide and Menu, But Nfusion is the King of IKS.

Seriously, I'm about to gag-up $400+ for a HD with 8psk and IKS,
WHY IS NFUSION KING? I've had a Nova for a year, and a Phoenix for a couple mnths, and I'm happy with them,but, I've read where Sonicview had more channels (earlier). Is Sonicview HD down more than Nfusion?
Please give me facts. My Nfusion is freezing periodically still(with S/W 151.3 ) Is Sonicview? Is Sonicview going down for longer periods than Nfusion? and where is the cheapest? thankyouverymuch

[robert ferreira]

get a nfusion they are the king of iks nfusion hd.thay have 824 channells working and no down time.the sv has big sever down time and more there new with iks 4 weeks.i dont know kbox.nfusion been doing iks 4 years and it shows no down time

[gibahca]

SV's and KBOX have a option to work with standalone bins...
Nfusion nop..thats why they're the king of IKS...
I dont know if we gonna get any BIN for standalone support but it's a option that you cant get with Nfusion receivers and that matters for me.
my thought only.

Anyways the 3 brands has been doing a outstanding job.
