max67 I'm not mad at you at all, however, I go a good ways back from card days to standalone to now IKS, and with that said, I have seen a lot of up's and down's and that is what goes along with this type of hobby. All my receivers have all paid for themselves after all the free tv I have gotten in the past, shit one week of ppv and movies channels for a month would pay one back on the cost of most receivers.
I do have to say that I agree with you that sonicview has had it's share of problems and in the beginning were new to IKS, unlike nufusion that had a better understanding of what was needed to keep a server up and running due to they had been running IKS for some time. I saw a lot of downtime 2 or 3 times a week in the card days, and it was a pain, but I also saw the samething happen with standalone fix days with viewsat, sonicview, coolsat, pansat and so on and waiting periods that were short as well as long at times too. I will not bash sonicview or any receiver brand or there coders because we have no ideal just what they risk to get tv up and running for us to watch. I will not bash or put down any receiver brand because if you look at it closely, they all are still having there share of problems, nufusion,kbox,cnx,sonicview and so on, they are freezing or blacking out at times, I could not record a movie now on any of my receivers, due to you can not hardly at all watch one single movie without some sort of flaw with the server. But that is ok, I'm just glad to have something to watch
I hope too that sonicview gets there bugs/server problems worked out, because they deserve to, after all, they were the only receiver in the end that was up the longest when all others went down, so I still have faith in what they are able to do
Very well said San, i was about to write about the same reply before i saw your post
And as far your comment goes max67 you are absolutely right, SV has been nowhere near NFusion,Kbox,CNX even Sonysat is doing better on IKS then SV. But SV coders have proven that they can be the best in business as they were before N3 change so i hope for their own sake that they are gonna improve their support soon, they are already loosing big bucks to competition and i know they are trying very hard to get back on top. It is taking a bit longer then i thought it would but they will get there.
Great replies.
