There is something called Newlink for SV Elite. But essentially you have to have the $60-100 device to get going. I don't know if NFPS work with it.

Since you already have the sonicview 360 elite your best option is to get a SV Lan. The ihub and newlink do not come with public support anymore. The SV lan comes with the Akai Japan Server and you can also use a private server if you have one. It cost around $59 to $69 could find it on google or ebay.

SVLAN is being heavily promoted by certain sites and people. There are people who have lost their own sites and are moving elsewhere to promote it.

First of all they put a big sounding name to it "Akai Japan Group" Then they took the old technology of i-hub and New link, changed the software ever so slightly and called it SVLAN. They are selling this new connection to server for $40 on the old hub or for $60 with the new hub called SVLAN.

The product is also sold with a Sonicview Elite receiver for $109. And the SV Premier with SVLAN is being sold for an incredible $89.

The same company that is offering these prices is also offering Conaxsat and Ilink for over $200.

On the whole, I think it is an attempt to get rid of old inventory or SV Elite and the old hubs with a slight modification. Notably, between December and January there were 5 software updates. I think anybody buying it should be wary - you will most likely be left with a choice between a dead duck and a door stop in two months' time.

The other thing one has to realize is that there is NO real SV Public server working.

Akai Japan SVLan server has to be paid for by purchasing a Serial #------ So can't really be considered a Public Server.

The above is taken from abadss.com and I agree with the post - At best it is a private server using modified hubs and slightly new software. At present the more reliable Private service is NFPS.

If he purchases a SV Lan he does not have to pay for a serial number. The hardware dongle comes with it. Anything you buy is considered to be a paid support.

I have used it for 2 months and have been very happy. Regardless if you buy a newlink it cost the same price with no support.

5 updated bin files means that they are improving their system from what I've seen. Also another new bin file is said to be released soon which allows you to use multiple private servers and Lan network software updates.

To get NFPS working you are still going to need a dongle. SV lan is the one you want to buy. You might be able to find a newlink $5 or $10 cheaper with no support. If you want to go that way you can then convert your newlink or ihub to a SV Lan for free to use with nfps and not have to worry about the Channel change errors that the ihubs and newlinks have however they will not be able to connect to the Akai Japan Server.

SVLAN and the way it is being promoted smells of scam.

This person joined in 2006 and suddenly reappeared two days ago with 99 posts - C/Ps from another site.
With SVLAN you are buying nothing new. It is a slightly modified i-hub or Newlink with slight change in software. Akai Japan Group is just a big sounding name.
With you current Newlink you can subscribe to NFPS for $35 for a year - they have been around long enough and have shown themselves to be reliable.

"New files will be released soon" - 7th revision in 3 months. I urge everybody to be very cautious.
And most of the good Indo-Pakistani channels are not available.

At present the more reliable Private service is NFPS

NFPS knocked many paid customers off claiming a "computer error"

Switched to the Akai Japan and now have no freezing no downtime and is working great.

Go with Akai and an SVLan and don't look back
End user not a sales opinion like nyda

Go with a SvLan.
If you have an ihub or newlink you can upgrade free and just get a serial number for less than $40 for two years.
Great service and you will be very happy

Everyone will do well to just ignore Nydas's negative advice & comments. She seems to have the recipe to make more enemies then friends. This recipe usually comes from bad information and a negative personality. I've been a member here since 2006 and have had not problems with anybody. After my first post this year she comes off attacking me talking trash about things she doesn't even understand. I have heard from many users saying that she try's to run out anyone with real knowledge. I have heard LK and many others stay away just because of her.

I feel sorry for the users here who were getting true feedback from experienced satellite testers like LK and many others before and now have someone like nydas who will c/p everything regardless of if she knows what it is or not. Lets just say second opinions are never bad and if nydas is your source you may want a 3rd opinion.

It is very very clear that she really doesn't know much about the Satellite market.
I have personally seen her give very bad advice over and over again. Do not be fooled by here 20,000 posts I can assure you that is mostly copy past to stuff she doesn't even really understand.

Nydas's Bad Advice:
1. Telling people totalfta is a reputable site & giving her personal advice telling others that she would not condemn them for a few reports of customers being cheated. Telling anyone to buy from this site is just wrong.
Why? Because they have been cheating customers for years. For starters the owner of that site is a con artist who stole the site from viewsat many years ago. The people who buy from them either get nothing or end up paying 2 or 3 times what a regular receiver cost for the exact same thing. Example: they will give you a iLink or sonicview with newlink and then give you private server access. They sell this to you for $300+ when you can have it all for under $150. Others get nothing and can't do anything about it. Not sure why she would be promoting or defending this type of company but everyone who took her advice got screwed over.

https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/656837.html
https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/660591.html


2. Telling users to pay for nfps even without them having the proper hardware. Do not be directed to purchase anything unless you have the proper hardware first. nfps can do nothing for you without the proper hardware. Example: You ask how do I get my sonicview up and running again do I need a ihub or something? She responds for you to PM & pay her friend for NFPS. Remember you will still need a dongle with many brands out there.
https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/675001.html

I don't have time to go through all of her bad advice because there is to much of it. While looking through her posts I can tell that most of it is copy past any random thing in other peoples threads. Example: someone posts a thread titled getting started with FTA she copy past any random junk and pastes it in 10 different threads to get more posts. I have found so many of these types of threads it's crazy that they let her build up here post like that only to provide users with more useless information. Whatch how nydas's posts have nothing to do with the topic of the thread. This is called thread hijacking and is higly disrespectful on any forum. She would have been banned from any fta forum long ago. Ecoustics is a very useful site but you need to be sure you are getting that info from the correct people.

https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/675364.html
https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/674907.html

3. Telling users to purchase outdated hardware with no support when you can buy the newest hardware for the same cost with premium support. This is like telling you to buy the first cellphone ever made for $50 instead of the iphone 4 for $50. I know this is not the price of the phones this is just a example if both items were $50 she would recommend the 1st cell phone ever made and say the iphone 4 is a scam. Do not be fooled by this type of nonsense.

Nydas and her many usernames are telling people she did the research and is referring them to buy a newlink (nosupport) over a SV Lan (Akai Japan Support).
https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/674429.html

Lets compare them side by side and have the users do the math!

First off both products are sonicview dongles. One is supported other is not. If you want to use a private server you will need one of these for sure.

1. Newlink -$59 No support from a company you say goofed. This unit can only work with private with limited features. No guarantee.
Included channels: ZERO

2. SV Lan - $59 with Akai Japan Premium server. Works with Public & Private server with the click of a button with more features. Best of both Public & Private. 2 Year support Guarantee.

Sonicview SV Lan Akai Japan Premium Public Server:
Includes channels below & many more are added weekly.

None of these include Locals, so others may be up.

PPV Channels can be up at anytime and on any channel so please check, CH 103, 290, 526-559

Also check the SV Lan Section for announcements of which PPV Channels may be up on CH 455.

You are really telling people that the Newlink is better then the SV Lan? Why don't you take a minute to understand what you are refereing them to. They can still use NFPS with the SV Lan but the only difference is they will have 2 servers instead of 1 with the same price.

SV Lan $59 = Akai Japan Premium Public Server & NFPS $39
Be able to switch back and forth from Public to Private. If one doens't have a ppv you want to watch flip to the other server.

Or

Newlink $59 (no support) & NFPS $39
Can only work with private server.

Same price? More bang for your buck. You do the math.

If You had a choice to buy the first cell phone (no support) or the iphone 4 (Premium Support) for the same price which would you choose.

Remember if you already have a newlink or ihub you can get a SV Lan upgrade for $39 and use both Akai Japan Server & buy NFPS to have both running and back each other up.

Everyone needs to here real user reports. Don't waist your time on Non users speculations.

I hope this information helps the real sonicview owners make a educated decision when purchasing or upgrading a dongle. True experience is the best way to learn and that is what i'm sharing with you. Not second hand information or false theory's.

Thanks and have a great day!

FTA BADASS joined in 2006 BEFORE I did.. He has had 5 years to try and find faults with me. However, it is now with his sudden vehement promotions of SV LAN, he has chosen to attack me. Why? because I disagreed with him and disagreed with him in no uncertain terms.

Look at the history of and the technology behind the "dongles". It is simple technology. Most of the receivers have a serial input, and Ethernet is a serial transmission of bits. The hardware as manufactured in China costs them less than $10.

Any Lnux or Unix expert will tell you that the software is (most part of it) is Open source.
Here is what Sonicview did. When they were falling behind the other manufacturers, they cam out with a Hub. Then a little later there was new Link. And now there is a third hub. Originally they tried to restrict its usage to the elite and premium. There were many (too many for their comfort) SV4000 around, and they could easily provide the software for its use with the SV400 but they did not. Later and even now NFPS provides that.
Their inventory of the elites had to be sold and the new SVLAN will do just that and then disappear off the market.

We can see the same trend now in Kboxes. Kbox had a court battle and injunction or something. It went of the air for along time. Suddenly they have come up with a different hub. The old hub won't do!. Again, it is the same thrust. Sell a new hub, and clear out some more inventory, and than when DN takes them to court, close down. Very convenient. This is Kboxes third hub. Do you think the other two hubs can't work? with a few changes in software they will work, and I can almost guarantee, that withing a month somebody will have the old hubs working on the same Private servers that the new hubs are working on.

You are accusing me of being partial to TotalFTA who you say stole the site. There is truth in that - I was also very critical of them initially. But things have changed DRASTICALLY since those days. A that time there was N@ and files for the Viewsat. Now there is Private and Public Servers. I do not know them except for the fact that they have persisted in staying alive in face of closures of tens of sites. That means secure servers. When somebody posted urls about complaints against them, I looked at each URL and did not find sufficient merit in any of the complaints. The complaints were too few and too vague. A couple of URLs were in obscure sites and a couple in good sites. Everywhere I saw a gut-feeling statement from a senior person saying they are bad without further elaboration. Technically, if I was mod here and based on my own criticism of TotalFta in the past, I could have said the same. However, i chose to take a new overall look at the whole situation.
Totlafta is asking for over $200 and for over a year they have continued their advertising. North America has pretty strict consumer laws. If we are to believe that Totalfta is a scam, we have to have at least a hundred complaints by now, investigations and arrests. Nothing like that has happened.
So, overall I would say that there is not sufficient evidence fro me to criticize TotalFta nor can I condemn them. Since they are active and alive site, the conclusion I am making as on TODAY, is that they have survived minimal consumer criticism, hefty gut-feeling criticism form old mods, and the wrath of DN. so they must be OK. Note I am not not saying they are OK - It is a logical deduction to say they must be OK.

As to my being able to help people, I did not keep a count nor do I intend to look at old posts where I may have helped. The help was given without abuse, and after a reasoned approach. Mostly I pointed out where they could get files, and for a restricted number of receivers. I also gave minor installation help - something anybody with moderate exposure to computers and software installation could have given.
Those who were helped know it. Those who felt their help was not recognized felt it more and attacked and abused me. I would say that the Admin here, was pretty lax in allowing abuse and insults to a degree that would not be tolerated on any FTA site that I know of.

I am too aware of people using multiple names on this forum. Suddenly, Mr. Sandman has woken up from his Rip Van winkle sleep to attack me. zulu was OK till about 2 years ago and then started attacking because he was bypassed by questioners and his own site was taken away from him. As far as I am concerned he can keep on running - it will get him nowhere, but will giving him the satisfaction of running. Greg Raf is another singularly obstinate idiot, and remains so with little or nothing to offer except insults.

Once again you prove how little you know about the fta market and still continue to defend totalfta scamming people even after every forum & ecoustics users post scam reports.

1. You say i had 5 years to find your faults but didn't. Well nobody needs 5 years it only took me 48 hours from coming back here. Clearly you know I was not posting here much the last 5 years or I would have pointed it out like the hundreds of other users. You say I attack you but it is you attacking me. You are the one telling people that Sonicview is a scam and totalfta is a pioneer and reputable site even though they scam people. You post threads saying SV Lan is a scam when you know nothing about them. 2 days prior you had no clue what dongle Sonicview was using. Everyone has a right to disagree but you are rude to everyone and do not speak the truth.

You are correct I have been a member here for a very long time. Last time I was posting here was back in the N1 days telling people that the neosat ipro IKS was the way of the future. I remember LK and many others disagreeing about IKS but they were not disrespectful or rude. When N1 went down I was watching TV on IKS way back then... I think we can say I was right that IKS was the way of the future.

2. You say to look at the history of dongles and that they are simple and cheap. So what is your point? You cant make it work with any box. You have to have the source code to make it work with a receiver. Also it is cheaper for users to purchase dongles rather then purchase brand new units for $150 to $200. I guess you would rather users not be able to purchase dongles and have to buy a new receiver instead? Is this your point?

3. You say sonicview released a basic dongle when they were falling behind? That is so funny and very clear that you know nothing about the subject once again. Sonicview was the KING of N2 bin files. When viewsat and all others go down every other day for the last 6 months of N2 Sonicview never went down with their N2 Fix. Go do some more fake research. They were the leaders of the industry. Also they released their dongle before N2 dropped which means they were before the other groups other then nfusion & Neosat who was already IKS before everything started.

4. You say that sonicview tried to restrict its usage to Elite & Premier only and wouldn't support the sv 4000? You also say that NFPS supported the sv4000 when sonicview would not? Wow your getting slower. First off nfps can't support anything without the hardware bin files to allow them to provide support. The only way nfps could support a SV product is if the Sonicview Manufacturers created a bin file for them to use. Are you trying to say nfps built their own SV dongle and made their own SV bin file ? Only SV could put the private server setting in the SV 4000 menu for them to use and they would only do this if they were supporting the 4000 so clearly your facts are wrong once again. Only the Akai Japan Group has supported the SV 4000 properly and they are the ones supporting the manufacturer bin files that enable private server settings to go along with their public server. Sonicview 8000, 4000, premier & Elite all are working best with SV Lan files.

5. You say I accuse you of being partial to TotalFTA? Let me make it very clear for you. I have not accused you at all. You do that all by yourself. Even in this very post you defend them and therefor support them. You say that on every forum a senior member post scam reports. You say that in order for it to be a scam you have to see 100 complaints . I have seen over 100 complaints and I have seen at least 10 on this very forum without searching. Funny thing is Sonicview is a much more reputable company who is highly supported by nfps and many others using their hardware and you see Zero complaints about a SV Lan and report it as Scam. How come you don't need 100 complaints with this? Did you know that total fta scam artists are selling Sonicview products for double the price if the users are lucky enough to even get a product?

You say usa has strict laws and that since they have withstood all of the complaints you think that they were not significant enough to close them down so by your odd math that means that they are not scamming people and everyone else is lying because it doesn't add up for you? What you don't understand is that they have survived only because their website is hosted offshore which the USA laws can't touch & they accept anonymous payments through western union with fake names. If it was that easy to shut down someone from accepting payments from a website then nfps would have been shut down long ago. Once again I do not need to accuse you of anything. This is you quote even after every forum and over 100 users complaints say they are scamming! "nydas says" (overall I would say that there is not sufficient evidence fro me to criticize TotalFta nor can I condemn them. Since they are active and alive site, the conclusion I am making as on TODAY) Thousands of happy sonicview users = scam but every forum & hundreds of users scammed = Don't condemn & continued defending and support! Clearly 2+2 doesn't = 4 to you!

6. Nydas, Thank you for being honest about what you can actually support! Nydas say in quote "Mostly I pointed out where they could get files, and for a restricted number of receivers. I also gave minor installation help - something anybody with moderate exposure to computers and software installation could have given." Thank you for pointing out to others that you don't have any expert experience other then a common person who can use computer software. I hope you remember that next time when you arguing with experts who have real information. You say that you give out advice without abuse. I have seen many users post here for the first time saying thank you to someone and you tell them why don't they use their real name. You accuse everyone to have many names because you have so many. One user who said he got scammed by totalfta you basically called him a lier and said he didn't know how to contact them. Then in a later post he ask for a sonicview dongle and you push him to nfps without a dongle. Tell him to pm sada right now. Then you called him names and said why do you have to spoon feed him. This is respectful? I have only been back on this forum for a short time and all I see is you being rude to every other user. Guy post that he got his kbox working and you only have negative comments for him. He is sharing his information with the fta community and you want to run him away the first chance you get. The FTA community is about users helping users. You don't have to try to make it a race to run everyone away. You will see that you will gain much more respect by being nice to all users.

7. Answer this why do you double post in the same thread even if it has nothing to do with what the title is? Is this just a way to hijack other peoples threads or is it just to have more posts? You understand that is considered disrespectful and rude right? 2+2?

All I ask is that you stop waisting peoples time and be respectful to users! If you would like to continue your negative approach then I'm sure many users will enjoy our chats!

Get the svlan and go with akai japan
lower cost
better service
better than the 60% up time nyda claims for NFPS
You could deal with Nyda and Sada and get NFPS but read the thread about the unhappy customer and how he did not get a response let alone a refund.

Hi,

We did not send the emails out. The info on the ihub will be released in the next few days.

NOTICE OF RELATED CASE PURSUANT TO CIVIL LOCAL RULE 40.1(e)

The First DISH Action and the Second DISH Action are related because the defendant in the Second DISH Action, Christopher Whitcomb, is a former employee of Sonicview USA, Inc. ("Sonicview") (a named defendant in the First DISH Action), and a Sonicview dealer who was served with Judge Lorenz's preliminary injunction order in the First DISH Action. Mr. Whitcomb is also the cousin of Roberto Sanz, Sonicview's CEO and an individual defendant in the First DISH Action. Further, the devices at issue in the forthcoming motion for preliminary injunction in the Second DISH Action (ie, the SV_Lan and NewLink) operate in the same manner as the iHub device that Judge Lorenz has already enjoined in the First DISH Action. Accordingly, assigning both cases to Judge Lorenz will effect a saving of judicial effort and resources.
