Kbox news


Dear KBOX Community,

We would like to thank everyone for all your continued patience and support! Also thank you everyone for your testing and feedback in helping us build a better box. We’re not done yet, and there’s much more to come.

If you have not already done so, please upgrade your older K1 Heros for the new K1 Plus that is currently being offered. By focusing our energy, we’ll make sure to provide you continued support that is fast and stable. And we’re also pleased to say that the new PLUS edition is working very well from end-user reports. K1 Heros support will phase out by the end of this year while K1 PLUS will continue for a long time to come.

Secondly, we are recommending everyone use STANDALONE Mode only for now, as we make upgrades to the network. We are aware of freezing and/or blacking out while using the network mode. Stable network operations are scheduled to resume by mid-December, as we are working hard now to prepare for what’s next. More details and announcements to come…

– Together, the future is in our hands –

For those of you with the older model still,you can find out all the info on how to go about this free upgrade here.do not delay!:

VS Full EMU on the way!!!

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Many have been noticing some stbs remain up during ecm’s at times.This is due to 3rd party coders storing info in their files that somehow  “self adjust” or commonly known as “emulate” (EMU) a subscribers smart card.This advancement in 3rd party coding technologly has never been achived at this level.Now the Viewsats 3rd party coding team plans to step up thier files with this known “full emu” as well.This of course doesn’t mean they know every single thing to put in their files to emulate a smart card perfectly,but its become clear to most that “full emu” has happened as planed or so very close to a full emulation that labeling as such is by no means a streatch of the imagination.Below is a copy of the announcement posted by Cyphris:

VS Full EMU on the way!!!


Yes that’s right it is taking a little longer for the VS Coders to complete a full rewrite of the code to include a Full EMU. The last few fixes have been temp patches thus the reason for them not lasting long. The VS Coders are working very hard to complete the rewrite for the Full EMU and are expected they should have it finished later this week. They do have a lot on their plate and there #1 priority is N3 as well as finishing the Full EMU. This is not the Full MAP EMU that they have been using but a true Full EMU which will be a lot more stable with less downtimes till the switch to N3. As for today we should be seeing fixes for the current problem soon..

Sonicview’s 3rd party coders have a plan for the future

Monday, November 10th, 2008

It seems the boy’s over at the sonicview workshop have some plans for the future,with the announcement today of something they call the “magic board”.Of course the boy’s are keeping this in the low down,and don’t want others to copy cat their, what seems to be at this point “mystery solution”.All eyes and ears will be on the sv team as we patiently await further news.Keep it right here at the ABA Dss FTA Blog for all your updates.Below is a copy of the announcement:

Team SV has a Plan Update


Team SV has been working around the clock on a solution for currrent ECM’s and N3 . They have came up with a great solution that will provide less frequent update and quick turn around patch .
the reason they’re not making the release is they don’t want other to copy there design. The SV Majic board will take SV to the next level without the risk of IKS.Release will be made when it is really needed ,It is not a external add-on , It goes inside the box will say currently being tested on 8000 and 360 seris , sure all attempts willbe made for it to work on all models , As im also sure other brands will try and adapt it to there’s also .
for reference the add on is slightly smaller the the VS MAX addon cardAnd no this card has nothing to do 8psk hd channels .this is not a software update

updated info 11/11/08

“They are not saying this will be required , what they are saying is with this you will have longer up time and quicker fixes when needed .”
