Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

Gracias

 

Hey on the bright-side The coder's are already starting with new files.

 

For all of you that bought Sonicview units, all the updates are now out.

bindepot.ca

 

hey breck,

i want to buy the nfusion and i already have high speed wireless internet is there anything else i would need to buy for the installation?

 

You need a router if you already don't have one.
Depending how far your router is from your receiver, you have 3 choices to hook up the internet:

1) Direct with ethernet cable
2) Netgear wireless adaptors (requires 2 ethernet cables - 5ft-10ft should do)
3) Wireless bridge (Requires wireless router/network)

And of course, all the necessary ethernet cables to hook it all up.

 

so if i already have a wireless router all i would do is connect an ethernet cable from the box to the router.

 

Correct. If it's close enough to connect, you don't need the other accessories.

 

breck sorry to bother you man but if my router is in a seperate room wich one of the other 2 options would i have to use.

 

I does not matter what kind of receiver you have, poeple come to this thread for help and most of them get it,so its not about the coolsat its about reaching to people lacking knowledge of setting and making their receivers to work,I agree nf is great box but its not anymore about what's the best or bigger or best support ,its making them work, the senior guys on this thread are doing great job coaching and guiding people thrue the steps.
what I know just my own opinion

 

If you don't mind running a cable, you can go direct.
But if you don't want to have cables running all over, either one will work since you have wireless already.

The bridge requires configuring the bridge with your computer (needs setting up)
The Netgear adaptors just plug into your hydro outlet near modem and receiver and you plug each unit into an adaptor. The internet will then flow through your household hydro wiring and you can get the internet on any outlet. (easiest with no setup)

 

thanks breck i will get on the link you sent me to check out the package, i appreciate your help and once i get it i will let you know, im sure it wont take that long to set up.

thanks again.

 

You are right. As long as the big gun's are willing to helpwho cares what box you got!!!

 

Hi all does Nfusion supports HDTV?

 

LMAO!!! I'm not sure I would want to... after all... she settled for him... she can't be a great catch!

 

Not yet - they are developing a unit.

 

LOL - True

 

Another NFUSION debate I missed, I was out joy riding in the new buggy. Yes it works excellent, but I still don't like the possible IP trace that could be done if the providers wanted to. I'm still happy with my Viewsat and its usually only down for a few hours. I don't like any system that PHONES HOME for information but again thats just my opinion. If you want a box that very seldom goes down and do not mind taking some bit of a chance, then Nfusion is the way to go. I was offered a freebie some time back when they came out and refused it once I read the info. I have no other reason against it and think its great that its always up, but its not for me. Once someone has almost been in the middle of legal actions, you just don't take any chances. I have my IP partially rerouted all the time to the middle of the state while I live in a different section but I still won't take a chance. AGAIN JUST MY OPINION. EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND HOW NFUSION WORKS AND THAT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT CHANCE YOU COULD BE TRACED. I suggest everyone read all information available from sites other than NFUSION support sites and then make their choice. Later.
