What is an FTA with IKS?
• An IKS or “Internet Key sharing” module comes in either a built in to the FTA receiver or a standalone type called a dongle. It’s attached to the FTA receiver and then to an Ethernet cable connected to the internet, the idea is it will download unencrypted keys from an “off shore” server that is connected to a premium provider such as Dish Network or Bell TV (formerly Expressvu) subscribed receiver(s) and unscrambles premium broadcast channels. This is very illegal and usually results in severe criminal charges.
