IKS Technology Progression:
- iHub: already phased out
- Newlink: replacement to iHub, probably near end of life
- SVLan: successor to Newlink and iHub, currently being supported by the major vendors.

From the Receiver to Your Router
When the IHub was introduced, it provided a way to connect some FTA satellite receivers to the Internet via your router and an Ethernet cable. Since then the IHub has been retired.
Newlink was another method introduced after the IHub.
Currently, SVLan is the method being used to connect your FTA receiver to the Internet.
SV Lan upgrade for the IHub
You won't need to worry about this unless you have been using an IHub, or Newlink, and now wish to upgrade to SVLan. The SV Lan upgrade is a serial number that is emailed to you.
You can use SVLan to get on Akai Japan's Premium Public Server for a total cost of about $40.00.
Buying a new SVLan Adapter
A new SV Lan adapter already includes the serial number on it's silver sticker and runs about $60.00 on coolsatellite.com .
If you buy one of several new FTA receivers on coolsatellite.com it will include a SV Lan adapter with serial.
The Sonicview SV-360 Premier is a low cost FTA receiver that works well with SV Lan.
SVLan Setup
