Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16251 Registered: Jun-06 | There are many threads discussing kbox and nfusion. They are very close to each other. Read in those threads. You joined in 2007, and you might have a ROM102 in an old receiver. If so, read at Irrespective of what you buy, you will need a reliable Broadband connection. |

Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 143 Registered: Jul-07 | I havent been on the site in a long time so im kind of out of touch, what is a ROM102 and why a broadband connection? |
|
Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 590 Registered: Aug-09 | first thing you must decide is what channels are most important to you ? then what receiver gets those channels .. what do i need to get those channels then compare receivers |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 144 Registered: Jul-07 | I used to have a megasat which is clone of a different receiver and I have seen the that certain receivers can produce hd tv, so which one has the best quality? whats the difference in channels in kbox and nfusion? |
|
Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 593 Registered: Aug-09 | really as of today the only real choice is Nfusion HD |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 145 Registered: Jul-07 | so Nfusion Hd is the best right now? and what was the problem with the channels? are the channels restricted to different receivers? and does this receiver show channels in HD? |
|
Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 594 Registered: Aug-09 | It is really the only, also you need to be on BEV to really get any qauntity of HD channels kbox has no HD box SV is having big problems there is one more option but ..... not for novice at all .. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16252 Registered: Jun-06 | If you do not know what ROM102 is then islinger is not for you. These days there are only 2-3 boxes available and all require internet connection ON all the time. It must be Broadband >1mb, preferrably >3MB. Do a Google on IKS or a search on this site and learn all about IKS. Nfusion has the only IKS service for HD channels. If channel is HD and you have the Nfusion HD box and HD TV then you will see your program in HD. If buying HD, you must buy a 8psk board. |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11155 Registered: Jan-08 | Sean Yes! All receivers do not provide same channels list. Are you looking for Bev channels or Dn? If you want a HD like sump says NFusion Nuvenia HD is the best choice..  |

Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 146 Registered: Jul-07 | I have a dish network dish, so I need to get Nfusion to get hd channels and have it connected to a broadband connection |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16254 Registered: Jun-06 | The only other practical solution is IKS is kbox, but 1. There is no HD receiver in kbox stable 2. kbox are not compatible with Dishpro Plus. The only other comment I will make is that if you have the latest fancy "Internet on USB stick" it gives you only 2GB max downloads per months - too little for IKS receiver. Most of the othe rbroadband services such as cable and telephone company based (DSL) offer over 10 GB/month and usually over 22GB/month connections. These are OK |

Bronze Member Username: Blade1Post Number: 37 Registered: Jul-09 | ^^kbox IS compatible with dishpro plus |
|
Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 598 Registered: Aug-09 | respectfully ....Nalin a kbox and some other recievers alone cannot produce the power needed to switch the internal switch that is in the DP Plus LNB, having an old DN box, or old viewsat box, or power inserter solves this problem' over 500ma is needed |

|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16256 Registered: Jun-06 | DN boxes supply 1000ma which is OK. If you have one kbox it won't have the power. As with DP34, you might get away with having and additional FTA box or old DN box attached or a power inserter. If you have a DP44 you wont need to worry. |
|
Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 607 Registered: Aug-09 | Respecfully .. nalin people must understand that they must "get" the power inserter also everybody does not sell them as a package ..there are applications that do not need it IMHO DP 34 will not work with DPP, must be all DPP compatible devices .. DPP + DPP |

|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 148 Registered: Jul-07 | what is the significant channel difference in bev and Dn? and I have a DN satellite 500 |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11222 Registered: Jan-08 | sean here is the channels list for Nfusion, Kbox and Sonicview: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rOE1tOiUP_lPLrP25QfX1sg You can choose the receiver in left bottom! |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 150 Registered: Jul-07 | so for the satellite that I have I would need what type of a receiver?(brands) |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 151 Registered: Jul-07 | so which one of those is the best? and each one has different ones which is the best one from each brand? |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16289 Registered: Jun-06 | sean akins: You are flip flopping too much. For HD, there is ONLY one receiver - a Nfusion HD. So there is no point in comparing Nfusion HD receiver to nothing. If you buy this make sure you get 8psk module with it. Your Dish 500 is NOT good enough to get all the channels offered by either of the two major IKS services even if you buy a non-HD receiver. You will need a 33" dish with a special LNB (Digiwave DGL1189 or CB2008A) designed specifically for 118/119 use. Look at: I must reemphasize: THERE IS NO HD RECEIVER FROM KBOX YET. You will need a simple USB stick (about $10). You WILL need a broadband internet connection. You will need a cable to connect to internet, and if not convenient a wireless bridge or two powerline adaptors. Nobody can make a decision for you. You should look at the facts as they stand and decide for yourself |

Silver Member Username: SumpPost Number: 719 Registered: Aug-09 | sean more info is needed form you ********************************************* I have a dish 500 so what would I need ********************************************* 1) we need the LNB type , from the ground you should be able to tell if you have 2 seperate lnb's or 1 big one, if it is 1 big one there is sticker that say DP Plus ..sticker the PLUS is or is not what we need to know 2) are yo interested in international channels ? |

Bronze Member Username: GrampabobPost Number: 21 Registered: Jul-09 | I was just curious what kind of bandwidth an IKS receiver uses in a month?...ballpark... |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11231 Registered: Jan-08 | GrampaBob Only few Mbites! |
|
Silver Member Username: TerebichanPost Number: 119 Registered: Nov-08 | The real question is "What is the best receiver today ?" because if a receiver become more popular than other, rapidly it will need more bandwith to support huge users and lot of channels at the same time". At this time NFusion look good because they remove access to lots of Nova users and build a better server with the money of these Nova suckers. ;-) |

Silver Member Username: BirdwatcherPost Number: 809 Registered: Jul-06 | the real answer is One That Works!! |

Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 152 Registered: Jul-07 | Nalin Nyda how often does DN go down with the Nfusion receiver? |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 153 Registered: Jul-07 | sump how do u get international channels? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16311 Registered: Jun-06 | Reports indicate that the down frequency and down time of Nfusion is less that that of Kbox. The International channels of kbox are mostly on ANIK F3 (118.8W) and to get this sat you MUST have 1. a 30-33" Dish 2. a special LNB such as CB2800A, DGL1189 or if you are using Dishprop Plus (500+ or 1000+), there is a special LNB which comes with the kit for 118/119. It is pointless to try getting ANIK F3 Without these prerequisites. You might get some channels and they will a lot of fading in.out even of the channels you are able to scan. |

Silver Member Username: ArizaPost Number: 309 Registered: Feb-06 | Do you need a special dish for nfusion nyda? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16320 Registered: Jun-06 | Special Dish is in relation to the channels available at present from Nfusion or Kbox, i.e. if you want the International channels, they are only available at present mostly from 118.7 which has special requirements regarding Dish size and LNB. Nfusion does give you two popular Indian channels from BEV - you should check the list from nfusion.ca. If that is so, then you will be OK with your 20" Dish pointing to 82/91W. Sada/Plymouth could comment on the Indo-Pakistani channels source on Nfusion - is it from BEV, or DN at Anik F3 or from both? |
|
Silver Member Username: XtremejohnjohnsonPost Number: 123 Registered: Jan-09 | I prefer kbox to nfusion, but both are loosing channels. First it was PPV, now it's adult channels.... I'm not sure if they can even do anything about it and it's DN changing their lineup and a standalone fix or combo is going to be needed |
|
Gold Member Username: GregrafPost Number: 3691 Registered: Dec-07 | Nfusion is way better than Krapbox |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11336 Registered: Jan-08 | NFusion is the IKs best for now, best average support, like Viewsat.  |

New member Username: AlbertwhitePost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-09 | NFUSION box don't need fix downloaded manually but they automatically download it.So its good to use for your satellite tv. |
|
Silver Member Username: Top2000doggPost Number: 156 Registered: Jul-07 | is there a way to use a splitter to get the signal to different receivers? |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 11589 Registered: Jan-08 | Sean You can use the loop on back receiver, you power off the receive that you don't use. If you want use both, you must have 1 cable for each receiver hook it on each output of the LNB, for 2 or more LNB you must use a Diseq swicth or a DP switch if you use a DN receiver. |
