Windows Ihub Emulator step by step

[poroto40]

Windows Ihub Emulator step by step

1 - Unzip windows Ihub Emulator

2 - Select your sonicview model bin and load use usb or rs232
Four bins are provided
SV4000 use SV4000_svlan_14_NoChk_only_rom
SV360Elite use 04-es22-2028_NoChk_A4to20
SV360Premier use SV360P_p2028_NoChk
SV8000HD use HD20-2028_NoChk_2nd_chksum_2nd_try

3- Open Ihub.CFG with wordpad you will see this

SERIAL: /dev/ttyS3 # Comment COM1 = ttyS0, COM2 = ttyS1 ... COM(x) = ttyS(x-1)
SERVER_IP: 192.168.3.103 # Only IP numbers NO names for now
PORT: 10000
NETWORK_TIMEOUT: 1000 # leave it as is 1000
TR_DELAY: 40000 # leave it as is 400000

now its time to change
for SERIAL if your computer have the serial com1 set SERIAL: /dev/ttyS0
for SERVER_IP if your iks provider have number is the server name just change number if not go to



http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.htm

and comvert name to ip

for PORT set your iks provider port

save and exit

4. Connect receiver RS232 to computer be sure have NULL cable
Usb to serial work fine just set speed 115200

5. Run svhub and turn on STB wait until get network adapter connected tv screen message

6. on remote control press Menu > Network Setting you will see on tv

Private server 1
change user name to your iks provider
change Password to your iks provider
change Des Key to your iks provider

move cursor to status and click ok should get connected if not double check all setting
click exit and save

wait some seconds and enjoy it

I just wanted to let you guys know that these latest bin files will allow you to use the cheap $26 Wiz110SR LAN adaptor as a replacment to the ihub. The Wiz110SR is basically the same exact thing as the ihub but a lot cheaper and easy to find, just google it and you will see a lot of online retailers selling it.

i have been trying this for days i have a viewsat max hd that i have had working on the weather forcaster emulator for windows that has been working for months now on rockets... i had a sonicview 360 elite laying around since i never wanted to buy any more fta hardware i did not buy a dongle so i have been puzzled if this ihub emulator is simply just like the wfemu or if it still needs the svlan or wiz or ihub or any other device plugged in along side... i can not get this going... i get as far as connected on the box than the ihub emulator is throwing random sayings but my sonicview shows no service or scrambled on cha 200 than i go and check the network again and guess what it cant connect no more.... i have to restart the emulator and hit connect while ihub emulator boots ( i guess it is) but nothing open other than 101 and other real fta channels..... im thinking about that wiz dongle but i want to confirm can anyone help...??

[abouttosnap]

As of now from my read the sv emulator would be a waste of time at the moment. Even if you get it going it will not run long. Five minutes at best. Seems to be an issue with the emulator it's self. Got a theory on the why it is not working but I could be wrong so I'll keep it to myself.

On the wiz110sr from my read seems to be some confusion on the sw update it's self. Not clear on whether one would need the power adapter to update. Of course haven't read a lot on others having it going with the wiz110sr either.

[Jdread]

Would love to hear your views on it, could you send me a PM.

[abouttosnap]

I'll say this and use myself as an example. If I were to come up with something and going to charge for the use of it so to speak I would be up front about it.

[It's Jafo]

I agree. <br />
Also, yes.You need the power adapter any time you use the 110 board.It isn't fed through the serial port like the 105 board.

[Jdread]

Which was not done in the case of the present emulator, they were asking peeps to donate to the cause which is not what snapo is saying. He is saying that if you are charging for the use of the program do so upfront than releasing it and then shutting it down.

[abouttosnap]

I agree.
Also, yes.You need the power adapter any time you use the 110 board.It isn't fed through the serial port like the 105 board.

I'll let ya know. Got one on order that I hope will be here by weeks end. I didn't order an adapter for it yet. If I get it and get it going I will post on how it goes. Maybe if I get it going my old iHub will get jealous and start to work as well.

Worse case I'll hook it up to a car battery. :D

[It's Jafo]

If you find you need power, an external hard drive power supply will work or any other 5v dc supply.
I think the draw by this board might be a bit more than most serial ports like to put out and that's the reason for the external power supply.
I think the one from Wiz is 1000ma but I'm not positive.

It's been reported that the 5v from the serial port is sufficient. No need for the adapter.

The serial DB9 connector on the WIZ is Male and needs a Null Modem cable to connect to the SV Receiver. My cable does not provide any power from the receiver's serial port to the Wiz therefore the 5V adapter was required.

[jvvh5897]

Well, but there really has not been enough testing to say for sure that that is what is happening. No one has done any serial captures of the box to hub comms or a capture of web traffic. Until that...

Trust me... you need the adapter.
I've been running this 110 board for over a year and have a pretty good grip on it.

I can confirm that it has worked for me on one or two occasions for about 10 seconds max than I get all exited and than my hopes are broken well looks like it's back to the closet for this one it's sad even the old 2500 pansats got iks working burn sinicview burn

I can help you by assuring you that the wiz110sr works perfectly, its almost identicle to the ihub and you update it basically the same way you did the ihub, really easy to get up and running! I didn't have any luck getting the ihub emulation software to run for more then about a minute so I gave up and just ordered the wiz110sr dongle for about $26. I started a thread about this and in the thread you will see that others have gotten their wiz110sr dongles up and running now too. There is a really easy to follow step-by-step guide by Spoiler to get the wiz110sr up and running in this thread also. So don't give up on that Sonicview just yet!!! :)

While you are waiting for it to arrive make sure you have a 9pin null Modem cable and a 5V power supply. Required to connect the Wiz110SR.

[It's Jafo]

Not to be confused, If you have the cable that came with the box and the power supply needed for the 110 board, your good to go.

You won't be disappointed using the hub is so much easier and far more stable then using emulation through
A computer. If it makes you feel any better $38 is still way less then what you would pay for an original ihub
On eBay.

not really but what the hell.. on the contrary though ive heard that emulation is better than hardware at least my viewsat max hd performs very well on wefuemu other than the times rockets goes down .. just to bad that emulation on sonicview is not complete.. I have a htpc thats always on so I dont even think about thee emulator and than again I can always see if the rsqq has lost connection and do pings to the rocket server on my pc.. all on the same tv.. I can chech the website too. I do have the null cablee multiple ones now where to find a 5v power supply.. I have a 9v I think ill fry it with that.. does the board come with an actual power adapter or do I have to splice and solder..

not to put u down or anything.. but u ssound like a salesman for the 110 board.. did u break alliances with ihub or just trying to cash in..do u work for the 110 or are u just a very hepful honda sales person

The wiz110 was around long before any Sonicview Receivers were made. It is a widely used device for communication between the RS232 serial port to network on many applications. There is no shortage of 110SR out there and definitely not dependent on sales from Sonicview owners. Just google " wiz110sr applications" and you will see what I mean.

[airjam]

The board has a built in jack to connect the 5V source. You can get the 5V adaptor at any electronics surplus store or you can make up your own. Use one of those common 110V to USB chargers and find...

[It's Jafo]

Here is the original power supply: <br />

No salesman here I'm just happy as I've been waiting for a solution to use the 110 board with my Sonicview for a long time. My ihub stopped working a year ago and I wasn't about to shell out over $100 for a new one. I've been using nFusion with N.O.I. which sucks in comparison to Sonicview with a hub. I'm the type that records everything so I can zip through commercials and the IPPVR is pretty much useless on the nFusion, Sonicview PVR works very well so happy to be using it again. As far as emulation verses hardware (hubs, dongles), in my experience using N.O.I. with my laptop for a year then finally using a hub again with the Sonicview I will say it blows it out of the water! Channel change is much faster, I get less freezing, seems more stable plus it's nice not to have my laptop running 24/7 anymore. This is just my experience comparing using a hub with Sonicview and N.O.I. with Nfusion, your experience is obviously way different using emulation with your Viewsat Max HD. I'm just spreading the word about the 110 board as I know there are lots of people out there that would love to get their Sonicviews back up and running and I believe most people prefer hardware (hubs, dongles, built-in LAN) over emulation and the 110 board is the perfect solution.

[airjam]

I've been using nFusion with N.O.I. which sucks in comparison to Sonicview with a hub..

And now there is a great solution for the Nfusion with a WRT54G router flashed with the Goo-2 firmware. Works great and you can pick up a WRT54G for peanuts.

[jvvh5897]

And the funny thing is that while you guys are shelling out another $30 bucks or so getting the old box working, no one is really trying to fix the emu problem--I don't even own any sv boxes, but I posted the core of the serial part of emu in the 360p section and no one is even trying to add the three sections of code that would get it running on the web and those three sections could be pretty much just cut and paste from examples of how to use winsock.

That is a great solution to half of my problem but still doesn't solve the terrible IPPVR issue that my Nfusion has. Plus the picture quality is better on my Sonicview anyway.

guess what i got home today from work and it finally arrived.... i looked in my work truck and boom there it was a 5v power supply so now im good to go i already plugged it in... but no dice yet im a head over to that thread to read on how to get it flashed like svhub or whatever the procedure is... ill post later tonight...

[blazinbear82]

well i got it working.... works just fine just had to use the wiznet loader to change the baud rate and set up the lan ip address info im not even sure if thats a different ip address than the one i assigned the box im assuming it is..
o yeah i had to change the ip address info so that i could upload the 4.12 svlan fw... basically i put the wiznet on my router and box never had to do a direct connection from the pc to the wiz thingy maggigy the wizsr tool 3.0.2 found the wiznet by mac address but i couldnt upload the firmware till i changed the ip address to match my lan obviously right... anyway once that was done i put it my roket info and walla it connected just like it was doing with the emu... but this time blam service... any how im a take off im a go get ripped not all geeks are scrawny.

Sorry if i am off topic, or if i am hijacking the thread, am running into the same issues as you, i can not get the Wiz110SR LAN adapter to communicate with my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the tools i have

Hp laptop
Sonicview HD 8000
Usb to 9 pin adapter
9 pin straight through
null cable adapter
5 volt adapter

When i try to upload the 4.12 fw in the wizhub software i get invalid ip and it wont communicate with the hub.

all help would be greatly apperciated.

[It's Jafo]

Not sure of your windows version but try this:
Make sure your hardwired from your lan port...

Right click on the Network icon on your desktop and chose "properties".
Choose "change adapter settings".
Double click on "local area connection".
Locate "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and double click on it.
Choose "Use the following ip address"
For "IP address", enter your default gateway but make the last number .15 (ex:192.168.0.15)
"Subnet mask" is the usual 255.255.255.0
"Default gateway" is your default gateway... duh...(ex:192.168.0.1)
Dont worry about entering anything for "DNS server" and click "ok" to exit out.
Try again to load the file.
Post your results.

[GNCSUX]

Thanks Jafo i will try it tonight on my other computer as the lan port on this one is shot. Ill try to get back to you tomorrow on how everything went. Thanks again for all the help.

[It's Jafo]

Try it the regular way first on the computer with the working Lan port.

Didn't the original ihub receive power from the serial cable? If so, a couple of jumpers from the +5v and -5v pins on the serial jack to the pins on the power plug should solve this issue <br />
<br />
BTW,...

BTW, seems like a plastic 2 piece soap box the tourists buy would be an ideal enclosure, just cut some cable slots
Pin 4 on the serial port if I remember correctly but would be easier to pull the 5V+ from a different source inside the receiver. On the SV8000HD you have the option of 5V from the fan power or you could pull from the 8PSK power cable but be careful to use the 5V and not 12V power.

The peeps who have an interest in using the emu does not have the basic knowledge to use the information you provide to get the emu working again and the people with the knowledge either don't have a sonicview or have no interest in getting it going for some reason or another. Thanks for your post though, if I had the basic skills in coding I would be the first person to take up this challenge but I really have no clue about this.

Our friend nunoit has keep working in a new svemu for the PC. Please give him a big consideration since he has little experience with C. But still he has been persistent to do al he can in Testing.

There is the source code is been presented for all of you to learn. It was build in with the netutils.lib resources that the LCC compiler has as suggested by jvvh5897. By the way We have all to honor jvvh5897 for his research and analysis of the sonicview code. Thanks to his sugestion we all have a firmware that do not have a date expiration nor has Real IHUB verification. Without his research there no be any emulation IHUB emulation.

For those of you that may want to test, inside the "130904-0246-dale-svemu-Asigment_4.rar"

You can find it in the http://www.satfix.net/showthread.php?138355-scripting&p=988324#post988324

there is a Folder


svemu\bin\Debug\

That has the binary for the PC :
svemu.exe & svemu.cfg.

This is a beta release and will require to adjust the code to improve the reliability.


enjoy and give a thanks to nunoit that is the only user that is really active, testing and sharing results.
Soon you will see the code been used by others in what usually are better implementations. That is how is been lately. And that is why we provide source code.

Just remember to mention us the once that did the research.

Go to:

I believe this svemu version is more stable.

Download the 130909-2030-dale-svemu-Asigment_5_multithread_working.rar & unrar.

If you do not want to compile, go to "\svemu\bin\Release" and copy svemu.exe and put it in a separate folder on desktop.
Copy also "svemu\svemu.cfg" and paste to the new folder. Edit svemu.cfg and edit your server IP and Port.

Your DESKEY, User & Pass info goes in the receiver Network area. You will get that if you have the mod firmware and you run the svemu.exe connected serially to the receiver.
