I found a few Russian channels on 118.7 satellite.
Not sure which receivers can get it, but iLink does for sure.

you have 2 choices: kbox and nfusion. sonicview has no internationals.
current russian channels are all on 118 sat. you will need dish500+ at the least to get them. no other option.
current russian channels are:
579/712/738/739/740/741/749
out of those, no one has 739 for some reason. 712, extreme sprt, is claimed to be opened, but i could never make it work.
579, inter+, is officially ukraine, but most of broadcast is in russian
only kbox has 579, but it started cutting out.
so, difference between kbox and nfusion is 579. kbox has much less bev channels.
i had kbox purchased and hooked up 2 days ago. i am back to nfusion today. reason being, 579 keeps cutting off, less bev channels, and some bev channels i like are closed on kbox.
kbox is slightly cheaper than nfusion.
no, you have no other option but to go through iks. you posted here, right? so you have internet, right? then get it done. or you can keep waiting for standalone, while others enjoy tv. your wife will make you happier if you make her happy. that's how it works with women.
