Most are using the 8PSK Board that was being used in the NFusionHD Receivers.

Following is a C&P-----Author Unknown

There seems to be an issue on the new ILink9500HD:

The new version of iLink 9500HD is now coming with a new SK200 NOT the Broadcom one.

It is a Availink AVL2108 chip http://www.availink.com/product1.aspx?id=2

It is supposedly better than the "older" broadcom.


It also directly conflicts with the nFusion 8PSK.

All the new receivers have to have this board removed if you are going to use the nFusion 8PSK board.

This is the small green board directly under the 8PSK board.

Otherwise you will go into "checking network" hell as neither card will work if they are both present.

tks it cleared up alot it was confusing tks again

What is the point of having this SK200 board in there, does it work
with some other board rather than the Nfusion 8PSK, if so does
anyone know which one?

its probably just like the board that came in my VS9000HD i had to remove it to install 8PSK board. it plugged into the same place as the tuner board. there was no way to have both boards hooked up.the tuner board never did work and was a useless part far as i am concerned.i keep mine in a box in case it ever has a function in the future.you would think i-link would have a 8psk for there unit like VS,SV,Captain has there own boards wont work elsewhere.seems strange it works with a nfusion 8psk.perhaps that's why there are issues?

ILink found no reason to mfg their own board as the VS 8PSK Board and the NFusion 8PSK Board both work in the ILink 9500HD units.

I have the ilink 9500 and the viewsat 9000, both useing the NFusion 8PSK Board and so far no problems.

where you get that info?? thats like saying chevy sold a new 4x4 truck but found no reason for making a transmission cause ford and dodge transmissions will both fit...lol. snowbird told us her nfusion 8psk board works in vs9000 and il 9500. so that means both the newest HD units are using VS 8psk board. the original 4 HD boxes had there own 8psk boards not compatible with each other.VS,SV,Pansat.Captain all had there own 8psk cards.The only reason nfusion and ilink are feeding there compititon (VS) for the 8psk board is they dont have the smarts or tec. to make there own.why make a box that wont work unless you buy another companys parts. not a smart move on there part. but we have gotten off topic on the original question.

Why was it not a smart move on their part.?????

Why pay for R&D of a product that is already being Manufactured.????

Guess ILink could have bought these already manufactured 8PSK boards and put their name on them.

All these boards are built in the same factory FYI------The name of the company is Irumtek ----and they build most of the FTA receivers and dongles as well.
