lol i ain't king.. but lets talk reality in fta business....
first of all which rec's are going to survive? all reciever who will use iks reciever will survive, now how the companies are going to survive..
as we have seen in past with nfusion, and we will see it with other iks receivers.. once they "iks recievers" think that they will not have enough money in pocket ... they will have two choices.. 1) either charge customers... 2) ask them to buy new equip...
cardsharing , iks eks.. all are going to stay for ever.. so stop wondering about standalone bin for viewsat , there won't be any.. think logically, even standalone bin is released who will be bother to create new program everytime dn change their codes..
people want less down time.. and more up time.. even viewsat if they release standalone bin still they need to use iks in order for survive...
so in future this is going to happen.. u will pay monthly... yes monthly cost to keep the cardsharing server running, but its still gonna be cheaper than u will pay to dn.. and yeh dave.. (will be soon up on iks)..
so what happens if one iks reciever stop supporting their rec, screw them, join the other card sharing server..
