Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3841 Registered: Oct-06 | According to this link: Yo can upgrade yor Koolsat or Captain to Internet I would like to exchange any info about this topic with people who got their hands on this topic It looks like this dongle kit to upgrade Captain FTA recivers It looks like 9-pin RS232 to ethernet  Also this looks like this dongle to upgrade Koolsat FTA receivers with USB to ethernet  I have some questions directed to anyone got their hands on this kind of dongle - Dongle with RS232, does it work on any other FTA receiver with RS232, I think yo it does but not sure? - Dongle with USB, ddoes it work on any other FTA reciver with USB like VSUltra etc. Again I think it should I also think if yo got a selection in your menu that says upgrade software it should dial to Server via ethernet With link above I think only nfusion has Dongle Kit to all receivers like Koolsat, Kbox, Capatin Another question for any Koolsat owner If yo bought the dongle upgrade - Does it actually work on Koolsat? Thanx, King |

Silver Member Username: King_of_satsPost Number: 563 Registered: Jan-08 | Once again King Fakeman you prove what little electronics's background you have... Of course it would work with any stb with a rs-232 port... rs-232 is what you call a STANDARD!!! The only problem is the firmware.... I could explain how and why... Yet seeing you couldn't even follow along with your viewsat Owners Manual on how to flash a bin/channel list there is a snow ball chance in hell you could follow along if I did... Poor fakeman is lost again..  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3844 Registered: Oct-06 | Tooter "What about your visionsat and dongle - " Yor good man I like that This man pays attention Quality member Thank yo for yor response But what I wanna know will any internet dongle work? Like this dongle connection  - Will any other hardware dongle work? I got the dongle file IV200 v.1.54d.0 20080429 I haven't tried it yet I don't have a hardware dongle - Can a regular bluetooth dongle work? Visionsat has a great feature it has a system restore so yo can go back to previously stored settings if I want to switch to IKS or vice versa - But I also wanted to know if VU-sat can work using a dongle? Probably not In VS menu there is selection where it says software update So far from what I see devices capable of IKS - Capatain - Visionsat - Koolsat - Kbox - Nfusion |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 6364 Registered: Jan-08 | King A very small program could be add in Vs receiver for working with dongle, the only thing is, who want do it.  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3846 Registered: Oct-06 | Sada According to this K-hub Called powerline Network Bridge http://www.xtek.ca/Powerline-Ethernet-Bridge-85Mbps-One-Pair_p_31-181.html It should work for: - Neosat - Capatain - K-box - Koolsat - Nfusion  KEY FEATURES: Allows shared Internet access via home power outlets 56-Bit DES Encryption network ensures privacy & security Transfers data at speeds up to 85 mbps, faster than 802.11b wireless Doesn't increase your electricity bill Requires no new wiring or cabling to install Compatible with wired/wireless routers & modem routers It doesn't say if it will work for other devices |

Bronze Member Username: ScatmanPost Number: 15 Registered: Sep-05 | does the powerline networking bridge work with kewlsat 4k, 5k or 6k? I looked at their website but did not see specific models listed. I could have missed that part. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 4378 Registered: Oct-07 | king i think the powerline adapter u are talking about is different than dongle, i use powerline ethernet adapter , basically i have two powerline adapter one goes with router, and the other one to my k1 plus and the other end in outlet , it also works with any desktop computer that u have in ur bedroom and u don't wanna see wires everywhere, u just plug the adapter in to outlet and u have around same level/speed of internet as u have the one that is plugged with modem but i still use khub (dongle),.. or is this different, b.w i only found nfusion to have stable iks all the time, k1plus never did same with all co*lsat models + neosat, any one who had caption pls tell us how stable the iks is.. |

Gold Member Username: DimwittPost Number: 1004 Registered: Aug-06 | King , the c0olsat dongles are either null or straight thru - so if the visionsat updates with straight thru cable , the straight thru dongle would work. http://dn3tv.com/product.php www.sahntech.com/coolsat1.html Thats my guess |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3849 Registered: Oct-06 | Thanx Tooter for the info Straight thru or null I'm gonna make my own cable It's only one pin difference simple pin reverse Trial and error is what I always do Null cable has 3 pins 5 to 5 (which is common cround) it never changes 2 to 3 (Tx to RX) 3 to 2 (Rx to TX) Straight cable is 2 to 2 and 3 to 3 Piece a cake Sada yes yor right The bridge is to avoid ethernet wiring I have some questions for yo regarding yor nfusion - Do yo need dish for yor dongle or does it work like IPTV (this is how yo can tell: disconnect sat cable while receiver is off then turn on receiver) If it works without then it's IPTV i.e. yo don't need dish connection - How often do yo lose yor IKS? - How often do yo have to load dongle files? - Do yo get D#N on nfusion? |

Silver Member Username: Mrskullz1Brooklyn, New York Post Number: 949 Registered: Feb-07 | i got a neosat but its not the one with the built in ethernet adapter. Is there a dongle for that? any links? |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 4380 Registered: Oct-07 | nope it doesn't work if u take off sat cable, with nfusion iks is about 98-100% stable, as long as your internet is up, u will be watching channels, as u turno of modem/u loose internet connection, u won't be able to see any channels, true fta channels works without iks,so its no difference than other fta rec other than using iks. that was for nfusion loading the files are simple after f2atv was down, they are just putting the bin in the server, means when u turn off ur rec from back and turn it on, it will say new version is available so u can download it by press ok button, some time when server is really busy u can just use ur laptop, type in ip adreess (that is on ur nf rec) , download the bin and hit the upload button and u will be downloading in secs. 3rd one is old method (note nf nova/sd/) are not built with usb, on kbox its different story k1plus have both option of standalone bin or iks standalone like other fta rec the reason why i don't use iks with k1plus is its not stable , u will see blackscreen/channel freeze,etc with iks so when other rec's are down atleast u can use iks with freezing/etc with dongle i don't have to download any files if i want to , i will still see channels working (if u take out freezing/squeezing) issues] d#n do u mean dn, if u do yes i get both dn and bev channels with nfusion so basically this nfusion has stable iks/ no standalone k1plus has standalone/ freezing problem with iks nfusion is built in ethernet port i think that can be the main reason they have less problem then compare to k1plus |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3851 Registered: Oct-06 | Thank yo Sada - How often do yo have to load dongle files? - Do yo need dish for yor dongle or does it work like IPTV? IPTV means yor watching TV via internet which requires no dish I have a friend from Italy He's got a device called SYSmaster IPTV He pays $25 a month 30 channels But he makes unlimited phone calls It also has Camera/phone It's called Tornado M10  IPTV streaming with no dish |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 4381 Registered: Oct-07 | this would be cool device , i am moving to u.s so thinking about something like this, "How often do yo have to load dongle files? - Do yo need dish for yor dongle or does it work like IPTV? " i download file after ecm when new file is around via usb for my k1 plus and use it as standalone (option avialalbe on my k1plus at configration), when there is ecm i simply switch to iks, no need to download file. but b.c of freezing issues with k1 plus i use standalone, when there is no ecm and iks when there is ecm yes same thing with dongle, i need dish in order to make it work both k1plus and nfusion rec needs dish to make them work. no iptv option available on both rec with nfusion its like once a month i barely remember when dish was down and i had to download a new file, most of their files are improvement for example last bin was added b.c it had more bev channels. downloading bin's on nfusion is really low compare to other brand, think like this way bin's are created when ur rec is down, if ur rec is already up, no needs for new bin, |
