Kbox vs Sonicview vs Nfusion<Moved and Merged

Can anyone tell me if the Kbox has the freezing problem that has plagued the Sonicview ihubs since they were introduced? Anyone?
For those not aware, the Sonicview ihub have been freezing since day one.
How is the Kbox? Does it stay up? Does it freeze up?
Any info would be appreciated.

I have had my Kbox Prodigy with black KHub for 3 weeks now after having a NFusion Nova for 2yrs and I have never had freezing issues, but have had an occasional flicker of down time (like a half second). We have had maybe 2 1hr-2hr down times, I believe due to file testing by coders. In all this is the best receiver I have had with the best picture and sound. So good luck and hope to see you in the Kbox world, and oh yeah. Other receivers have been in the IKS game longer and are freezing and down a lot, so who is the best well I think the team that has had one file for like 7weeks and still kicken!

I have installed 2 Phoenix boxes in the last 2 days, there is occasional freezing but it is very minimal, I can tolerate it.

I have both and I'm buying another Nfusion Solaris to replace the Sonicview. The Sonicview is unwatchable at times the Nfusion may glitch once or twice an hour at worst, the Sonicview goes through phases of really bad glitching.

as of the last 3-4 days there has been no freezing on any of the channels I have been watching, using the phoenix, nfusion HD and kbox, all three of them have been working flawlessly and they are on more than they are off, as for sonicview I can not comment on sv as of now, I got rid of my sv8000HD a month ago cause the freezing was unbearable, from reading on different forums it seems the freezing is still there maybe not as much as I had but this could also be due to the sonicview camp not providing that many channels at this time, if your decision is between sv and nfusion then I would go with nfusion, they have been at iks for a long time and have a great grasp on their SUNS system with a very reliable up-time, I have been using nfusion for 2 years and can say they have an excellent system, if debating over which nfusion SD receiver to get I would go with the Phoenix over the Solaris as the phoenix has much more memory and power to lnb's, it runs much cooler and soon will have it's own firmware with more options that the solaris will not be able to handle due to lack of memory needed, options such as you-tube, ipptv, web cam and others have been mentioned, the cost difference is around $30-40 between the two...
