Hi dear members,

I need some help from you guys to help me decide my next step with fta recivers..

in my past, i have owned fortec star, viewsat ultra and kbox prodigy..

viewset ultra stopped working longg back with N3.. kbox has also stopped working for now..

now, i have heard of 2 things that i am trying to evaluate..

1 is buying hub for viewsat ultra.. can someone please explain if i can use my existing viewsat ultra, buy new vlink hub, and use that?? is it something that is working right now?

2nd is, dreambox, i have heard it working right now with ppl charging some monthly cost.. how does this work??

so, i need you members experience to know whats my best option right now?

Thank you sooo much in advance..

if you buy a dm100 there is no monthly cost
All the other dreamboxes are linux based and involve private servers
Personally I would buy the wf for the vs .It is the same server team that cnx topsat satzen and i link use Wf has no bev Not sure if dm has any bev

wf stands for weather forecaster...lol
around 100 I think
satthings.com, satpeices.com, or ebay I know it has some internationals but not sure which ones or how well they are working
Internationals are avialable only on sat 118

Yes it is called wf. V-link never happened! It works on the vs UL and the ultra

oh okay.. thank you

dreambox receivers with private servers, are they any more reliable than dreambox dm100?

do you think vs ultra with wf will be around for some time?

thanks

first you would have to find a private server ,Its all very complicated with the other dreamboxes ,linus base O/s, not for the average user
your best bet is the wf ,No one can predict how long ,But cnx topsat and satzen all use the same server team so chances are good you will get your monies worth

Hey Tor,

there are ppl who charges you 20$/month to give access to those private servers.. so the question is, what is more reliable?

dreambox with prv server or get wf dongle?

I am not sure there is what you call private support for dm linux units .When I say private I mean private not some service anyone can pay for

try youtube maybe? Basiacally all iks units are the same ,Some have internal ethernet most dont
You plug one end of the hub(dongle wf etc) into the vs ,the cat5 cable goes from the router to the wf
