IKS or Internet Key Sharing

Yes. Nagra 3 Encryption is in full effect and no stand alone fix is available yet.

There is still some solutions for the Nagra 3 encryption though. So let's talk about IKS or Internet Key Sharing.

To make it really simple, you would hook your receiver to the internet and you would be using a "subscription card" that will allow you to receive channels. nFusion has been doing this for a few years now. So, is it safe? That would be for you to decide.
You can find more information about NFusion IKS here.

nFusion isn't the only receiver currently capable of this. SonicView has a similar adaptation for IKS.
Conaxsat has also come up with their version of IKS for the Conaxsat Nano, the IKSlinger is also available but will only work with Dish and Bell Receivers. It will not work with FTA receivers. Finally, K-Box also has a solution for those using K-Box FTA receivers.

A stand alone bin may take some time and will probably require a new flash upgrade for your FTA receiver. Of course, we will only know when the time comes.

Until next time, happy viewing.
