info for research purposes:
most if not all units have bev fixes.
captains/captiveworks/SonySat DSR 4000/SpaceStar 500-700/UltraStar 4000-5000 where not effected by latest bev ecm.
rumor of old files for dn fix are false for all stbs.
The v2group add 148w to their ever growing iks linup today.148w host’s mainly international channels from the provider dish network and is beamed primarily to those on the west coast.Again v2group are providing more reasons to try out the neosat ipro 2000/pro with adapter via iks to keep channels up during ecms.
Viewsat coders are claiming they are drawing near to the ever so needed full emulation files needed to slow down the ecm hits.Also stated in the latest report viewsats PRO and 7000 pvr stbs are supported by different coders other than the other models.
Here is a copy & paste from a representative/spokesman for viewsat,Cyphris:
C/P
Cyphris….
Well the VS coders have been working very hard the last week or so without much rest.While the solution is known for DN they have to just port it to the receivers.This is taking a bit longer being they are exhausted.You can be sure to be watching DN before the weekend.
As for B3V HD/Ultra/Plat/Xtreme never even flinched while the pro and PVR7000 require files from 071124 or 071109.They are separate coders who sometimes are not always on the same page.This is one of those times.Thing will get back on track and the game will continue…
IKS testing on the Sonysat DSR4000-5000 by team X.
Another approach to the bombardment of Electronic Counter Measures is the Internet Key Sharing solution(IKS).With the fta receiver hooked to the net using your same internet connection as your home pc,it will keep your tv up during ECMs,or at least quickly keeping you going soon after the hits.Coding team for sonysat & spacestar “Team X” are testing IKS now.
Here is the copy of the Announcement:
X-1 Dongle Loader & IKS
We test the X-1 Dongle kit loading a bin file to the STB works great no delay, this device is great , No more carring set top box to PC.
Wirelles BlueTooth , better then USD flash drive from your PC comunicate with your Sonysat or Spacestar …
We are testing on IKS …
Product Information

No more USB flash drive safe time , stay conected !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conaxsat coding team CNX Construct announce emulation today.With the never ending bombardments of Electronic Counter Measures as of late,CNX Construct come with the first arrival of an emulation file to work in their units to provide less down time.Truly a brake through in the FTA community.If you haven’t considered CNX yet,be sure to put them on your wish list.Their current models are the Mini (usb non pvr),the Duo (usb and pvr) and the Trio (dual usb pvr and divx multimedia system)
Here is a copy of the release notes provided with the new emulation files:
Conaxsat Construct is pleased to announce the completion of our new Emulation file. This level of emu has never been attempted on a FTA receiver.
This fix incorporates months of work by both our North American and European teams. This type of emulation is required and will take CNX into the next stage of FTA.
This means to the user significantly less downtime and the fastest possible response time. The importance of this file and this type of emulation will be apparent in the very near future.
Another first by our team means we will continue to offer unparalleled support well into the future.
NEOsat ipro 2000 and its brother the pro receive 8 day epg for provider bev.
The new hardware based monster NEOsat ipro/pro received a nice new feature yesterday along with some others things,one on which is a 8 days worth of epg on bev.Now NEOsat ipro/pro users can have their systems download 8 days worth of epg for both dn and bev with a memory stick or hdd connected to the rear usb port.This is great to have allot of electronic program guide (epg) on a pvr system for setting record timers.
