Understanding Nagra 3 with Popular FTA Receivers

Nagra 3 is a form of encryption made by the Kudelski Group. This company is outsourced by Dish Network and Bell Express View for their smart cards for their paid subscription receivers. Nagra 3 is the 3rd iteration of encryption and every 2 years they release a new encryption. Nagra 3 is the latest encryption on both current and future contracts on the Dish network and Bell Express View has announced that they will do the future encryption “in-house”. Nagravision is made simply to prevent satellite pirates from getting free TV using popular satellite dishes and FTA receivers like Viewsat Ultra, Sonicview 4000 and many others.

Many home FTA consumers have noticed that all of their channels on EchoStar and BEV have been completely turned off and they cannot get any channels on their television. Most of the people who have only been using FTA for a limited time do not understand what is going on and think that there is another BIN file available that will fix their situation. Simply put, there is no separate BIN or Key file that will make all your channels the way they were. The only way people with FTA can get their television back is if they use an FTA receiver that has an IKS device or dongle.

IKS stands for Internet Key Sharing and is the latest way for people with receivers to start watching TV right now. The current FTA receivers that support Dongles and IKS are; Nfusion Nuvenio HD, Nfusion Nova, Nfusion Solaris, Nfusion Phoenix, Sonicview 360 Elite, Sonicview 360 Premier, Sonicview 8000 HD, Neosat I-PRO 2000, Conaxsat Mini, DUO, TRIO, NANO, CaptiveWorks 4000,3000,800,700,650, 600 P and 600 S, also I-LINKS and KBOX with KHUB. All of these FTA receivers except the Nfusion must have a dongle device. People who are subscribers to the Dish network or the Bell Express sight have received a new smart card in the last six months, if you do not already have a smart card and are a paying subscriber, please contact your local reseller.
