1. Right now, you will need one of the STB's that uses IKs (Nfusion), Ihub, (Sonicview), or Khub (Kbox), VIA internet connection
2. Get our VIP membership, you will be glad later, great files and downloads only available for VIP members
3. The Ihub can be used to get hooked up to a server that helps you get Charlie and BEV
4. The payment here is not for the Files or help, it helps keep the servers running and taken care of. We have eleven servers, (I think, maybe more now) to help keep ABA running when others are down due to high traffic
5. You will need Winzip or Winrar, file extractors, to unzip all files...

No questions are inapropriate here at ABA. We want to help, teach, and guide you with all your interests. ABA staff, Helpers, and members really enjoy the hobby, and take great pride in helping all our members. Join us, you will like us...
Thanks for the response jc, much appreciated. So having a Sonicview is apparently a good thing, and an iHub is not necessary for use, unless Charlie or Bev is desired. Btw, what is Charlie and Bev? Also, spending a little green would help with unlocking more programming? Which isn't a bad thing, been thinking of joining V.I.P. but don't want to waste money, things are tight around here, like everywhere else, and there is nothing to watch, so getting a little desperate. Will also need to download Winzip or Winrar? Will start working on that right now, but hope that no problems arise, have noticed that with a 64 bit operating system, certain programs are not available because they have not caught up to speed yet or have not figured in for a 64 bit system. I have a couple more questions already (sorry):
1) Have noticed others on the web offering N3 fixes as of 7/3/09. Are these real fixes? I know nothing about this and have seen nothing on this site to that effect, all I know is I've been reading here about systems being down right now because of N3 and now is not a good time to break into the fta world and get set up. Which would suck since have already thrown down some bucks on a system (3 receivers) and would really like to get it working.

2) Is a flash drive good enough to download onto the 360 Elite (and Premier too) or is hooking up to the comp.via cable the better or only way to do this?

There's more questions to come, but for now will work on getting Winzip or Winrar and then maybe upgrading to V.I.P. Btw, only looking to get sats 119, 110 and I think 1 other not sure. And of course FTA. Thanks again and so far learning quite alot!
