Hi Everyone,
I hope I would be able to learn something new and will be able to share my knowledge/skills with everyone as well.
I was off FTA world for almost 4 years now, but I want to come back :D
Can someone please guide me where to start?
let me give my current position.
At this time I am using DreamLink HD receiver. Paid a guy to install it, and he is charging me 20$ every month for IKS server (I know its too much and that is why I want to learn more and do it myself).
I have installed a switch and have another connection from that same dish to another room.
At this point I do not want to buy a new receiver, I just want to play around with my old Viewsonic ultra(with serial port, no usb) until I am more familiar with current FTA. I came to know that there are couple of ways to use it.
1) Through connecting USB -> Serial converter with pc
2) fta Dongle(I am leaning towards it as I do not want to occupy my pc)
I also know, that I need to buy some IKS server username and password for updating keys.
can someone please guide me on where to get more info on Programming fta dongle and my old Viewsat Ultra receiver and some more info on all current fta.
