I don't think one can rely on a site which promises a shipping date 12 days ahead.

well, a lot of people buying from satpieces are saying that it takes quit some time before they get their WF, and they dont always answer client e-mails.... so support is not so good

Can somebody explain what the Viewsat Weather Forecaster is exactly? I have a dead Viewsat Ultra. But then I noticed that some sites are reporting that Viewsat Ultra WF is 80% up.
Which channels are working with this WF device for the Viewsat Ultra? Can I get some of the american channels and internationals back?

The weather forecaster is a serial-to-ethernet adapter that lets you use an IKS method on the following viewsat models :

Ultra, Ultra lite, HD MAX, HD9000

IKS stands for Internet Key Sharing, so in others words, with the necessary files, you can have back your tv. But only Dish is working with the Weather Forecaster for now.

The Weather Forecaster (WF) is an adapter which plugs into the serial input on your Viewsat receiver and connects to the Ethernet (internet) port on your router or Modem. It uses Internet Key Service (IKS) only on some Viewsat receivers, which are:-

Viewsat Ultra,
Viewsat Ultra lite,
Viewsat HD MAX, and
Viewsat HD9000

It does NOT work with any other Viewsat Models and does NOT work with Viewsat clones or any other receiver. You have to keep your Boradband connection up all the time while you are watching TV.
