ce&p from nfusion forum.. EKS coming to Nova! It looks as though the Nova isn't dead yet. Great news!
C&P from the EKS Official Site:
The Freezing is due to unauthorized users on our server.
Version 5.15 is expected in the next few days, this should solve that problem.
They have been busy on the Nova/Ipro1k Also .. Hoping to release in the following week aswell **no Promises**
More channels will be added when server issue is solved and new bin is released. Will be adding the Latino Channels all 800.s along with Spanish playboy channel. Will be adding Baby First Tv have had a lot of requests for it.
Once this is all done we will then work on adding the internationals for dn. PPV will be back on might take few days but it will be back rest assured.
The way I see the picture is that Kbox, SonicView and nfusion are currently manufacturing boxes and if they wish to continue their sales there will have to be continuous support from some unknown parties. The motivation to keep the support going is obviously dollars generated by sales even though we all know that those three companies have absolutely no connection to any 3rd parties whose hobby it seems is to make Charlie look like the idiot he is!
But with EKS and I own 2 Ipro2000's once they have the $ from majority of those who are going to subscribe which under normal circumstances would mean that about 90% of those that are going to subscribe will do it within 90 days of the release and then the last 10% will just dribble in - what is their motivation to maintain the expense of their operation and keeping the servers online and possibly very expensive legal ramifications?
It certainly is not $ from Ipro sales as the Unit is no longer being produced and with these other units they are talking about picking up - again once they get the bucks from those that subscribe THATS IT - whats the motivation to NOT take the money and run
Especially since the first 1000 subscribers get a lifetime subscription for their 100 - started out that it was going to be the first 500 guess they raised it to try to get some more signups.
Once these EKS subscribers have paid their money and if by chance down the road they turn on their tv one day and get BLANK SCREEN who are they going to complain too? Doubt that the better business bureau is going to take any complaints seriously even if one was stupid enough to file one - quack
Guess they could be motivated by a certain percentage of the subscribers who were 1001 and above when it becomes time for a renewal but what percentage of them are going to renew at 100 or more when for a few more bucks they could just buy another box - and if during that year nag3 is cracked chances are they have standalone boxes that might be up again - So I don't think the eks people can pencil in a business plan that demonstates enough $ generated in the future from re subscribers.
Supposedly this eks team is not the same as the various neosat teams but there excuses were almost identical as eks took longer and longer for its release - oh one of the excuses was they are not going to release it until it was perfect - sounds like neosat IKS and hiks excuses to me and like eks none of it was perfect - they have page after page of reported freezing after it was released - then again perhaps that is perfect to these coders!
