SonicView SV-360P = DN - UP & Down| B3V - Partially Up
CNX, I-Link, Satzen, Kbox Beta and Coolsat all were observed to drop on DN at a few minutes past 1PM Eastern Time yesterday. This is very much like the two events observed in December. At this time the details of the event are not fully known, but the adventure now continues for IKS coding and support teams. The Coolsat was quickly restored to service. CNX/Ilink/Satzen remained up on(fill in) but took massive freezing and is now down on most models. Unrelated the Sonicview iHub system has been working on the servers since last night and it remains up on some channels. The Sonysat server has also been offline waiting to put its upgrade online. The Dreambox DM100 was not impacted. Waiting on word from the Neosat EKS team, as it was down on DN prior to the time of this latest event.

You’ll notice right away that this is actually a computer running specialize FTA software and it includes a wide range of software such a the Firefox web browser complete with Flash Player.Forgetting about FTA for a moment, the receiver is capable of a huge range of well thought out entertainment options.
The good: The CW-4000HD is built on the success of the 3000 series that has done very well.The interface is top notch as is the list of included software.Includes a full DVR allowing you to pause live TV as well as multiple ways to view the Electronic Programming Guide (EPG).An additional module provides support for encoding formats used on some satellite systems.
The bad: The boot time is very slow.Support and updates are not as fast as some receivers and the unit is a bit bulkier.
The ugly:This system is built on Linux and offers a huge range of features that are great for some but may be confusing if you have to explain them all to your parents.Requires internet access to be plugged into the unit although it can’t use IKS.
For about $500 you’re getting much more than an FTA receiver, you get a complete living room entertainment device.If you can get past the fact that the receiver and product line is so new that few people have and support it then you may find a great deal here.
