Looking for IKS

Im looking to get an IKS system but a have a few questions. Is IKS worth the money, is it updated automatically, Is there any down time or if so how long is it before a fix it out? My last question is any suggestions on brands?
Thanks

Do you test a Neosat??
I set one up for a friend, and he is seldom down. If he does go down a new fix is fast to happen. I see MANY complaints on the nfusion forum, but very few unsatisfied with the neo. The iPro 2000 was the easiest box I ever set up. It almost set itself up. That was WITHOUT the HIKS...speedy1966

the nfusion nova IS a neosat ipro 1000 in a different skin.

the reason you have buttons to push with the neo 2k is because it can be cardless OR iks.
the ipro 2k has the superior picture quality.its a much more modern system than the 1k and all those in its family(nova included).
it also has an antenna auto detect,making it very easy to setup,with scans around 30 seconds per bird.
a fairly decent list of advanced features as well,like a 50/50 split screen PIP function along with search by info bar,search by theme/title (tho kinda basic,compared to others in this area) with a MUCH faster chip over the old 1k with 203 mhz and like triple the ram with 64mbs.she also tosses out 750ma of juice out of her rear lnb port,compared to the low 400ma of the nova.so she's going to handle dish pro and dpp lnbs with ease as the nova struggles.
v2neoteam has this stb running WAY over what some credit her for.mainly nova fans,silly really why many feel the neo/nova brake up concerns them imho,while iv always felt we the testers should remain united rather than opposed.this is due to the mistake on both sides,by both teams not just burying the hatchet and moving forward in their endeavors imho.

but any rate,iv never felt the nova should be compared to the much more advanced pvr/iks neo 2k.totally different animal other than a rear Ethernet port.

Re: Looking for IKS

Just to throw my 2 cents in the first IKS that can stand alone will get my money. Not sure how the dongle works maybe thats what I'm looking for but still researching the new Nfusion HD.

Re: Looking for IKS

What kind of downtime/uptime on the Neo? I have been looking at them for some time now. I have seen that there is a pro and ipro 2000. I see the only difference is the network card. But I dont want a receiver that is always connected to the internet or at least has to be(if the internet goes out, etc.) The Biggest question is is IKS safe? Do they keep your IP and if they do for how long?
