Looking for IKS service

[Open Sky]

I have had the same IKS provider for a number of years now. At first it worked great but the service has gradually deteriorated to useless. In frustration, I got a basic Direct TV subscription.

I only use my IKS these days for events such as boxing and UFC. Lately if the events are on, they are almost always in SD. Some guys don't care, but I refuse to watch a picture that looks like a VHS tape recorded in EP.

I have tried 2 other IKS providers on here, but they are IDENTICAL to what I already have. I am beginning to wonder if all the IKS providers use the same servers.

I am looking for a IKS provider that offers HD HBO/Showtime and HD PPV boxing/UFC.
Does anyone know of a IKS service that can provide this?


I appreciate all help.

Most of the south now is pretty much all the same - not very good in my opinion. Dish has been hitting the seeders every month now for a long time and most seeders have given up - so I don't see things improving much.

If you are just looking for boxing and UFC have you tried the north or IPTV? If picture quality is important for you then IKS north would be my first choice.

Jedi is right, if your within the bev footprint, you should seriously consider the switchover to a north server, the quality is so much better in my opinion and the ppv boxing and UFC events are in HD as well as alot of other channels.

Thanks for the great information Jedi and italian1! I find it interesting that not even one South seller has replied to promote their service or challenge my post. How do you continue to sell a product that has so many issues?

The problem with the North is that the HBO is the Canadian version which is different and inferior. The North also does not carry Showtime which carries a lot of good boxing. I also have a cable sub which gives me most of what the North carries anyway. I might give the North a try to get the PPV events in HD as I am definitely not renewing my South IKS next month.

Thanks

You are not seeing any reseller responding to promote their IKS south because they know it is not very good. Most channels are coming from the same cache - so switching services won't help you much.
Most of the people buying IKS south now are doing so only for the international channels - not many are buying for the english content.
