Upon reading the various posts and new equipment for some of the mainstream machines i.e. (dongles, ihubs, cnx is100) it would lead one to believe that a cardless fix without a IKS base is not in the cards. Hoping I am wrong because no one wants their address to be traced but if a few more of the maintream companies turn to a certain method of IKS then they are signalling the end user that this is the direction to go. In this case free tv will unfortunatley have strings attached. My opinion only.
