nalin , sharing sub or getting membership for eks, all same to me, if it doesn't freeze, if a person get all the channels, go for it, i think its quite safe, they should start 1 month membership, they will get more member this way,
Nfusion started as iks, no one knows where kbox came from may be from koolsat, cnx nano2, ilink, stanzen.. (who is making those rec) no one knows, why not keep the old rec , pay monthly fee and enjoy eks instead of buying new rec all the time and same freezing/ iks problems, and those problem occurs when too many people are loggging in to server, private share , mean less server load, mean less issues,
sada, nalin - if you want to choose eks - i would really recommend you go for sub sharing instead. EKS is very shaky right now and really not trustworthy. If you can get a bunch of people to subshare - its much better and much more secure.
Most of the time the equipment from the company is free - at least with DN. They usually install the receivers and dishes free of charge - without contract. There is like a $4 receiver leasing fee per month if you don't want contract. If you get a decent package and break it between several people - that would be the better solution in my opinion.
Or.....you can just wait for current iks fixes to come out (if you have iks box).
Mr skullz, ok i have a question lets say u have a u.s adress,/ phone number u want to get few dn rec ( to use in canada)
if u chat with them they say that they mus need to send the installer at particular location in usa, lets say u don't want installer to come at location, any way to get through this system? also if main rec need s to plugged in the phone line (is it must)?
i told DN i dont' have landline phone so you dont need it to be plugged into the phone line. Make sure you tell them that you don't have a landline phone - otherwise they will charge you a few dollars a month. They are very sneaky with their charges lol - just make sure you know what you are being charged for.
For a particular location........if you are subsharing - do you have anybody in USA that will work with you? the only thing i can think of is to get someone to sub with you in USA and tell that person to tell DN that it will be an installation for more than 1 room. So you would get the receiver for the second room and hook it up where ever you are.
This is how its working with me. I don't know if this will work in Canada or out of US.
mr skullz yes i do have friend, only problem is that he lives at place ( apartment ) where he can't get a dish.. its not allowed, he told me that he called dn and they have to come for installation a must... any way to avoid this? that freind already told them that dish is already installed but no luck
o this is a whole new problem. From my experience, DN gives these installations out to smaller companies (who are affiliated with DN) around the location to do the installs. I have come across several installers that are cool and really laid back - it really depends. I don't know how well (or if it really will) work but if you tip them decently - your friend may be able to talk to him and tell him to give the receiver without actually installing the dish.
Again - it really depends on location and the installer. I'm in New York and almost corner you turn someone is hustling somebody lol
Sada, if we buy dn's rec and dish from radio shack. they will let you install it urself. secondly NO contract there you aren't obligated to buy certain package in oder to get international. Mr.skullz, No one for can avoid the recr monthly fee. Either you own or using dn's recr. They will charge you i think $7 dollars dvr or 4 or $5 for basic recr.It doesn't matter you own or rent dn recr.You have to pay a fee to keep ur box active.
I think you all have digressed a bit from the main issue in this thread. Just as Dreambox started with Private IKS and then expanded to Public IKS a week ago, Nfusion started with a public IKS then stopped it and now there is a private IKS which apparently is by others as a possible stop gap or whatever. We are not talking about sharing with friends or relatives. So far we have two opposing viewpoints - sada says it seems good and to go for it and Plymouth says the opposite.
