20 clients on one card?

Sorry, but for me that's much to optimistic.

It's not a matter of being optimistic or not ... they are facts (direct experience in real world)

...how do proper servers cope with more than 5 - 6 clients? Do they need lots of cards or can you get more clients by having better hardware?

If you mean the so called "Full-Servers", they have dozends of cards spread over the big providers. And mostly more than one card of each provider. This depends on the international customers.

If you want to share with 5 or 6 friends, it is surely possible with one card - and don't forget, you also want to use your own card.
If you have more clients and all are online at the same time and all watch different channels, the problems will begin.

I'm not a server holder, but I wouldn't risk 20 clients (on one card)...

hi f1fan

sorry, overread that - hmmm, aren't they implementing their pairing process?

anyway, as long as it works, no problems I suppose.

You've got me worried now!

Do you mean they are introducing a new pairing process or do you mean the existing one?

At the moment $ky pair your card to a $ky branded receiver. However, if you convert the serial number of your $ky receiver into a hexidecimal box key and enter that box key on the Dreambox you can watch the premium channels. That's the theory anyway. I can't test that at the moment as I don't subscribe to premium sports or movies. Regular subscription channels work without pairing/box key.
