PART 1 OF HOW IKS (Internet Key Sharing) or ICS(Internet Card Sharing) REALLY WORKS Hi all, i would like to take us on a ride on what is really meant by the above words or how the concept really works. A lot of people are ignorant of what IKS or ICS is, all they know or say is that, Im watching DSTV or Paytv for free whereas they really have no comprehension of what technology is involved. Im moved on passionate ground to educate people on what is meant by IKS or ICS. In order not to bore people, i may decide to break it into parts/series for better comprehension. Here we go From WIKI Card sharing, also known as control word sharing, is a method of allowing multiple clients or digital television receivers to access a subscription television network with only one valid subscription card. This is achieved by electronically sharing a part of the legitimate conditional access smart cards output data, enabling all recipients to gain simultaneous access to scrambled DVB streams, held on the encrypted television network. Typically, a legitimate smart card is attached to a host digital television receiver, which is equipped with software to share the decrypted 64-bit control word key over a computer network, such as the Internet. Once a client receives this key, they can decrypt the encrypted content as though they were using their own subscription card. Now let me break it down. presently, we have various Iks decoders like qsat, zorro, Azsky, Xman, Tlink etc that are from china and being manufactured by different companies. What do they do? Now, theyll get a premium dstv subcription card and pay for 1 year, or 6 months for full view. Same applies to Sky digital in the uk, Aljazeera, Canalsat etc. Now let me limit it to DSTV. Once these various companies have paid for the subcription using dstv smark card, they will insert this card to a particular host reciever either in China or right here in Nigeria, Which is what is called SERVER. This Server has the capability to share the decrypted 64-bit control word key over a computer network, such as the Internet. Now we buy their programmed dongles and receivers, once we insert our sim card with internet access or use ethernet port of wlan or wifi, this dongles or receivers via the internet receives data from the main server that has the valid dstv subscription and then it begins to decrpt or unscramble channels for you to watch ur super sport etc. So without internet, ur dongle or receiver cannot get signal and sometimes, when the internet signal is not strong, it starts to freeze. Let me summarise this series. The people from china usually pay subcription to DSTV or Canalsal or Mytv using the smart card and it is from this smart card that they share the subcription to all of you at home to watch using technology. Watch our for the second part on why the server goes down, on why ur dongle stops working, on why ur decoder does not unscramble channels etc.
