I have a pansat 250sm laying around and want to get into IKS asap. Will this box make do? I already have the sat installed.
Does it have a Lan port or Ethernet connection (need internet for IKS) ? IF not then I doubt it, and don't think it's
Able to do HD, sd Maybe.
What box would be able to accommodate my needs? My understanding is that I am going to have to find something used. I appreciate your help.Quote:

I'm located in the US unfortunately. Already have the satellite set up, just need a box and a US service. Are there any boxes that are easier to find?Quote:

I suggest you do some reading on the ones I have suggested under each of those receivers listed & IKS Forum.
Will a GTMEDIA device work? I will get to reading and report back. I had no idea I needed a dongle for the sonic view for instance. Information for this is scarce compared to iptv.Quote:

No New Fta receivers being made anymore, only used which are Harder to find NOW they sometimes
show up on Kijiji/Ebay etc. More & More going/moving to IPTV
More than anything, I am chasing after nostalgia. How rare are these devices? Why is the dongle necessary for the sonicview?Quote:

The FTA Receivers (used) that you are Looking for are SLIM-Too-NONE
At this Stage-Of-The-Game (Hobby) FTA Receivers are not worth CHASING NOW especially when everybody is
moving to IPTV, & Support for those Receivers ended Long ago.
Looks the GTMEDIA box only does FTA. Don't see a dongle or Lan port. Saw a couple of Jynxbox on Ebay for $93.00 bucks.
Does everyone here use the same IPTV service? My thought process was that IKS would be better because it is coming directly from the source.Quote:
