Re: Risks of cardsharing

you could do that, cant see that being much of a problem, cuts it down to when you just use satellite, we here only use satellite when watching sport, and nothing to watch on terrestrial tv. i only client so im not give a dam anyway, different if you showing in public places.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I'm also only going to use it for sport and also only going to client.
Just want to cut the risk when mr murdoch decides to set an example and bust a few people.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I think that it is illegal to view PayTv without being a customer in every country.
In Germany you must have a second Smartcard if you want to watch on two Receivers at the same time. It ist not allowed to share one card in perhaps two rooms in the same household.
If the PayTV Provider investigates you it may be that you must pay a Compensation.
You also offend to law.
But.... No risk no fun

It is not the policy of the state. It's the agreement between you as a subscriber and your sat tv provider. Here in Serbia and Bosnia Total TV is latest NDS system employed and has not been hacked yet. Only way to watch two tv sets in one household is on two receivers with 2 smartcards!
There is no regulation prohibited by law to do otherwise.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

i would not worry to much, the best way probably is when you finnish viewing which for most people a few hours a day, i always switch off box an router compleatly.
i have not read any where saying client use illegal, if anyone has please inform?

do you mean that when we put the box in standby, the EMU continues to communicate to the server, through the cline?

Re: Risks of cardsharing

we just switch off when not using completly, just for fire risks.
have just tried this,
tv on, sat box on, connects to server minute or so,
then i switch box into standby mode,
switch box back on, server connected almost instant.
when you switch off completly (and router)you are not requesting anything down your line.
i think thats how it works, someone will correct if wrong

Yes, unless you power off completely your box continues to communicate with the server if you leave it on an encrypted channel. Therefore, it is best to either power the box off completely or leave on a FTA channel before you put into standby.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

So if i put the box in deep standby will it no longer communicate with the server?
I guess switching off cccam would also do the trick?

Interesting question, I used to put it in deep standby but more recently I have only switched the cam off. I suppose the question is does the router maintain contact with the server if the box or cam is off?
I would think not because it always takes a while to connect.

We need an expert.

I guess the safest way would be to leave it on a fta channel, disable cccam and put it in deep standby.
either that or switch off th stb at the back.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

a bit more to add to the confusion.

the cccam installed in your box is the bit which talks to the server, every few seconds decryption, server retalks to box to decrypt, happens in milliseconds,
perhaps if box is left in standby in fta chn no need to worry, (perhaps)

What do you mean by: "deep standby"? Disconnect from electricity?

It is an option on the shutdown menu. When in deep standby there is no time, etc shown on front panel so consumes less electricity.

DM500S does not have that option, right?
