N3 is here, what box do i buy now?

Many people ask us our Advice on what the best FTA Receivers are to watch TV again since most Receivers are unable to get anything right now. We will below list our top recommendations as well as the Prices, and pros and cons of each one.

1) Sonicview 360 Premier/Elite/8000 HD with IHUB

In our opinion Sonicview has been the top brand for FTA Receivers for the last 2 years. We have messed around with ALLOT of FTA receivers during the course of the last 3 years. Sonicview has sexy looking units, the menu and picture quality is AMAZING, it beats most other receivers we have seen in the way the menus are setup, the guides go to almost a full week in advance. All of these Units are a full on PVR which means you can record what you watch to a USB Stick or a USB enabled Hardrive. Picture quality blows most SD receivers away.

More importantly, Sonicview has a VERY Active development team. During N2 a single Sonicview Fix would last 3 or 4 months, surviving through 7 to 12 ECMS and never miss a beat, this shows us that Sonicview is all about Quality and Performance.

Pros – USB loaded, PVRS (personal video recorder) great service and support, video tutorials, and probibly the best picture/menu design in all FTA Receivers

Cons - Their IKS technology is still in BETA, which means they are constantly doing server mantience, and releasing new files. They have grown in leaps and bounds in a very short time, and soon in the future, this will be THE IKS everyone should buy.

All prices are from our site sponser and are the best non ebay deals online we have seen.

Sonicview 360 Premier – is $109.00! through our site sponser (this is an amazing deal)
Sonicview 360 Elite – is $139.99 (this is a dual tuner PVR, also one of the best deals on the net)
Sonicview 8000 HD – is $329.99 (beats ebay in price!! I am getting one of these!)
IHUB Dongle – $99.00

if you buy both the receiver and the IHUB you save even further, usually $10.00 to $20.00 more

2) KBOX PRO with KHUB

KBOX for the last year has beat out Nfusion in every way to earn our number 2 spot for FTA Receivers with IKS. Not only do you get the Canadian and American chanels. During N2 KBOX was the most dominant IKS receiver. They went through their growing pains, but are able to get International channels, Canadian Channels and Amertican channels. The fixes are Few and Far between, so they beat out the Nfusion in terms of loading a fix in, and not having to load another one for at least a few months. The picture quality and Menus look really good. If you are into International channels, try this one!

Pros - Great picture quality, USB, PVR, International channels, and wide range of Canadian/American Channels

Cons – Went through some growing pains discontinuing the KBOX HEROES 1 and another, but did offer a sweet trade in program.

K-BOX Prodigy – $139.99 (our top pick, this is a must buy)
K-BOX Heroes Plus – $129.99 (second pick)
K-BOX K-HUB Adapter – $79.99

3) Nfusion

Nfusion was one of the first companies to offer an FTA Receiver that did not need a secondary adapter. From day one, they saw the future of IKS and ran with it, pioneering the internet servers they have the second best developed IKS solution next to KBOX. In our opinion, when Nfusion discontinued the NOVA that was a raw deal to LOTS of people that bought a NOVA, so Nfusion gets our Number 3 position. Nfusion also for the most part updates via serial cable, rather then USB, so its allot more inconvinent to update your boxes, because you physically have to move it and hook it up to your computer. Nfusion has allot of channels via IKS, but it suffers from a poorly made Graphical User Interface (GUI) and sub par picture quality. Still Nfusion is a good receiver, and takes our number 3 spot for N3 enabled FTA Receivers

Pros – PVRS, lots of channels, a pioneer in IKS, fast servers, hardly any freezing

Cons – Sub par picture quality, bad menu design, nova discontinued

Nfusion Phoenix – $199.99
Nfusion Solaris – $169.99

4) Conaxsat Nano 2 and Nano

Conaxsat is a newer brand to FTA, only out for the last two years. Since then, it has developed a very loyal following in the FTA Community. Like the Sonicview, its fixes lasted months, and survived TONS of ECMS before ever going down. Its picture quality is also truly great, beating out 75% of all Standard Def FTA Receivers. Its menu system is very intuitive. All of their receivers have built in PVRS which means you can record what you watch on TV, which is handy. The Nano is their new De-Facto Standard. The Conaxsat Nano 2, has built in ethernet, so you do not need to buy a secondary Dongle, much like the nfusion. We really recommend CNX, its prices are really low, and its a sweet receiver.

Cons – Its IKS technology is new, it doesnt have TONS of channels yet, a few hundred, it has been using I-LINKS servers though, which means they have ALL of the ADULT and ALL international channels running

PROS – Sweet picture quality, built in PVR, a good warranty program

Conaxsat Nano 2 – $179.99
Conaxsat Nano – $99.00
Conaxsat Dongle for Nano – $89.99

5) I-LINKS

This is the only receiver we are recommending that our site sponser does not carry at all! Technically this receiver is the most illegal receiver in North America, and is not even allowed to be sold! You must order it from Mexico or overseas! This being said, if you want Adult, and International channels, this is THE receiver to buy. Ilinks is a very new receiver that has come out in the last 6 months, since then, most spanish speaking people, and people living in Mexico, Central, South America have been buying this receiver in droves. People were saying this is the most dangerous receiver in FTA because it comes pre-loaded with the codes and fixes so it works as within 10 minutes of you setting it up, making it VERY user friendly. This receiver is NEXT to impossible to get, if you do get one, count yourself lucky

Pros – Adult, Internationals, Canadian, American, Amazonias, Telefonica, this is the be all end all receiver. Supported with FILES really well! Lots of extras and add-ons

Cons – Very Illegal, hard to find, hard to get!

Price – Anywhere from $150.00 to $400.00
