Sonicview iHub - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (FAQ)



C & P from sonicview with some modification to fit on this site.

Question: What is the the Sonicview iHub?

Answer: The Sonicview iHhub is a special device, known commonly as a “dongle” that connects to the serial port on your Sonicview 360 or HD 8000 FTA receiver and the internet through an Rj-45 Ethernet port.

Question: What does the Sonicview iHub do?

Answer: The Sonicview iHub through a connection to the Internet enables your Sonicview 360 or HD 8000 receiver to download updates over the net and take advantage of the latest in FTA testing called IKS or Internet Key Sharing. With a connection to an IKS server, your box will download the required code words to decrypt Nag2 and Nag3 encrypted channels, such as those offered by DN and Bev. Currently the primary server being used is at svftaiks.com. Right now, the server and files offered for the FTA testing community are ina Beta state, meaning its still being tweaked for the best performance and operation, so it may not always work. The server itself can be expected to go up and down without notice during this period

Question: Which receivers does the Sonicview iHub work for?

Answer: Currently, the Sonicview iHub is designed to support the Sonicview 360 Premier, Sonicview 360 Elite and Sonicview 8000 FTA receivers. Under development are plans for an additional device to support the Sonicview 1000, 1000PVR and 4000 units. As for other Sonicview models, it has not yet been decided if an additional similar product will be made available. Users of other FTA receivers from a different manufacture may have a dongle device and IKS support available.

Question: What channels will I get with the Sonicview iHub?

Answer: While the Sonicview is properly configured, connected, and using the latest released files FTA Testers could be able to enjoy decrypted content from DN Bev, GC, Sky and other encrypted satellite provider networks. Note however, that using any device for the purpose of decrypting satellitie content is most likely illegal in your jurisdiction and we can not and will not condone such use. We provide this information for education purposes only regarding the flaws in the Nag encryption system deeloped by the Kudelski Group. For the most recent list of available channels, click here

Qustion: How do I setup the iHub on a wired home ethernet network?

Answer: Connecting your Sonicview iHub to your home network is very simple. Basically, plug one end into the receiver and the ethernet port using a standard cat5 or cat6 cable to an available port on your router, switch or hub.

Question: How do I change back from and iHub file to a standalone non-IKS file?


Answer: If you installed an iHub file on a Sonicview receiver and you wish to remove it, load the system cleaner file for your model and then reload your favorite standalone file. Remove the iHub if it is still connected.


Good Luck
