In my view, the usual reason for a company wanting to force a connection is so that they can use some part of your information (often by selling an aspect of it to someone else).

My time in Beijing illustrated to me the problems that can be encountered with both aspects I mention. In addition, if the program requires a connection to work, then you are trusting that program (and all the servers in between) to be 100% safe with respect to the information you are transmitting (knowingly or unknowingly) through the internet. Jimbo is likely one of those people as he splits his time between a very rural location in the US and Thailand which may or may not have service issues. In some locations, even in the USA, getting a reliable, fast enough connection is difficult to impossible. At the end of the day it's your choice, of course. Provided you're sensible and have protection installed that really shouldn't be a problem and, as you're finding out, you're giving up a lot of benefits by refusing to do it. When you say connected, do you mean on-line? I'm afraid that's the way of the world now.

You have one of your fast ICE's with Stages Power meter and separate Cadence and Speed sensors on the Kickr trainer and are attempting to use one of your Windows 7 computers to receive power, speed, and cadence results on the Ergvideo graphical interface program for analysis? What combination are you trying to put together? Sensors = Power, Cadence, Speed, on an ICE |

In reviewing the workings of ANT+, it would be helpful to know your conglomeration of ANT+ devices. It works so well it went into my background mode. Ive been using ANT stuff since it first came out and was conversant with its technology. The latter looks like an external battery pack, and as well as providing an ANT+ connection it can also charge your phone and give you weather readings.Garmin owns the company that produces and keys all the ANT+ USB sticks. These come in many different guises, including the Tacx ANT+ micro USB dongle, or a Selfloops ANT+ accessory.

You can purchase ANT+ dongles for Android phones, too. If your phone isn't one of the lucky few with such capabilities don't despair. If you want to check whether yours does, the ANT+ directory has a handy list. While Zwift might not yet be compatible with Android devices, many actually have native ANT+ capabilities already in the device. However, it's far more likely you'll be running a lighting port equipped iOS device, so you'll need to buy a 30 pin to Lightening adapter.

You'll only need to by a 30 pin ANT+ wireless key, which fits straight into the phone. If you own an older Apple device (still using a 30 pin connector) you're in luck. Zwift is available on iPhone and iPad, but if you want to connect your smart turbo, you'll have to buy a different adapter altogether, thanks to Apple's proprietary charging ports.
