I have been noticing over the last week or so while testing my new topsat that when the cnx goes down the topsat goes down simultaneously.
Wile the sonicview doesn't.
Has their been a list put together of what brands share iks servers?
It doesn't do any good to buy a backup if it is sharing the server with you main.

They all use their own server. When the WF came out it was reported as working on cnx-- but since then one has been down while the other was up-- so it's on a different server (apparently) now.
What you have noticed is a common appearance of the channels between different brands- and it has been claimed because of the seed cards are shared. These would be cnx, ilink, vs, topsat, and zoomsat. But it's not known by me if the seed cards are actually the same-- just what I have read

Than What I am noticing must be as like you say "seed cards are shared"
Makes sense.
It would be great to find what brands are shared so we can buy a backup, educated.
I would not have bought the topsat if I knew it was down the same time as my cnx!

That makes it easy then!
Are they the only ones that share?
