It's about 100$ and it works by plugging into your receiver and the internet and downloading the "keys" necessary to decode video signal. It's working very well I would say go for it if you have the $.

Is this done by unhooking the receiver from the satellite cable and moving to the computer Then hooking the receiver up to the computer and downloading the new key numbers then rehooking the receiver back to the satellite dish?

How often are the key numbers changed?

No it's done by connecting the receiver with the ihub to the router and leaving it connected. The "keys" change constantly and you need a constant connection to keep TV going.
