Info still a bit sketchy so far with many unanswered questions.
Evidently the IKS patch can be downloaded from the other site.
It's also rumoured that it will accept one sealion - a big letdown if it's true - and what about N-lines?

does not seem to have uhf in/out,which was a great feature of the 9000hd
My free gift worked for three years so I cant complain, it was only ever intended to last for one year and serve as a stepping stone into sharing.
As for posts that this receiver only accepts 1 line then posts made by members who don't have this receiver should be be taken with a packet of salt.
These are early days for a new receiver so lets give it a little time before starting to criticize a receiver that as far as I know very few own or know the real details of what it can do.
To be fair I was only reporting what I'd read elsewhere and very careful to say:
"t's also rumoured that it will accept one sealion - a big letdown if it's true.."
This is the problem, these guesses get started by someone guessing and if repeated enough times become accepted as true, the truth is it accepts 8 lines.
It does have an external power supply which in my mind means a lower internal operating temperature and as said above a fairly inexpensive replacement.

Jimmy , a question plz ( if u know)..
with my spider 9000HD i have a external Hard drive plugged into the rear usb port of the receiver.
It would seem the new spider 6000 does not have a rear usb port..
do you recon there is one in the front ,, in order to record something???

Not being a massive spider fan but what does this do that something like an F3/F5 cannot do that makes it in some places nearer £55 dearer, looking at the pictures the Spider 6000 from certain suppliers comes with 'Gift' so i assume thats what the extra money is for and the smartbox 6000 is just in a different skin
Yes there is one on the front.
Normally my friend a new box will arrive to you already patched (normally) patches are just an original fimware upgraded to cancel out any issues with the box that uses find in the first few months of releasing a new box as theyre are normally a few issues with any new idea so my answer would be yes and to all my friends who have posted here if spider people give the support as they always have done and it supports the vasiks patch and duie to spiders superior picture quality it will be replacing my f3 sooner rather than later

Brin i asked about patched , as on my spider 9000hd some time back now ( a year).. there was a patch update that was required for the menu,,,
it had new things on it like " client services"!! and the lay out was diffrent,,
I did initially use a channel list... but i found it so messy that now i just add/delete manually...
