What is the Viewsat V-LINK? Questions and Answers

So you have some questions on Viewsat and IKS and the new V-Link we intend on answereing all of your questions.

1) What is IKS?

IKS is shortform for Internet Key Sharing, it is a way through an external Device, usually called a Dongle that allows your receiver to talk to the internet, and get the keys automatically as they change.

2) What is a Dongle?

A Dongle is a small device that plugs into the back of your Serial Port. This Dongle allows you to connect Ethernet Cable or a Wireless Connection to your modem or router. The Dongle then facilitates a connection between your receiver and the internet.

3) This sounds complicated.

It really isnt, we have step by step guides and tutorials that guide you through this process.

4) How Do I load the Bins onto my Viewsat?

in this section we have the new Viewsat V-Link Loader, as well as the Guides that teach you how to load files into it. If you have experience with the old Loader 2 Program from viewsat you will have no problems. If you do not have experince with Loader 2, we will instruct you how to do this. Basically You would connect the dongle into the back of your receiver, and then run ethernet cable from your dongle to your modem or router, once you do that, and download and install the loader program, y ou will be able to load files onto your viewsat, without having to use a USB drive, or hook the viewst up to your computer. Your computer reconizes the Dongle, as a device, and allows you to send files to it over a network. This is a easy process.

5) When are the bins coming out for this?

You can expect new files will be posted within a week or so.

6) What does this V-Link look like?

7) How much does the V-Link cost?

It will retail around $89.00 to $109.99

Yes, like most major FTA Receivers we support, we will create How ‘ To videos on everything from loading files, to installing the device and so on.
