Keep the box handy...if you upgrade your package you'll need the Sly box to upgrade your cards entitlements!
-
Will do, do you only need it for the purpose of upgrading.

AFAIK yes...for a downgrade your entitlement will disappear (ie. encrypted channel) but Sly need to add entitlement via their own box...

Just using this type of setup how many of my friends would i be able to share to, as i would not be allowing them to reshare.
How do you expect to be able to find share partners if you intend on giving no reshare?
-
Like i say i am a newbie can you explain whatnyou mean by :find share partners if you intend on giving no reshare, thanks for your patience.
-
Share partners as in cardsharing with other people, or are you intending to setup a server and charge people for your service.
-
No just set it up so my friends and family can watch what package i am on, if they want to shot me a few bob that would be a bonus.With this in mind would it be better to let them have no reshares, as i dont want it to affect the overall performance.
-
if its for friends + family only then there´s no need for them to reshare as it would be presumed that they (friends + family) won´t be interested in sharing with their "friends + family"..so .. the obvious fline you give them is for their viewing only.
Another aspect of this comes to mind ; bearing in mind that certain cards can only support/maintain a certain amount of requests(connections) at any given moment and your friends + family want to watch ,lets say, the same football match at the same time... that´ll be hard on your card and maybe even on your own viewing!!! -
Is there anyway round this, some these payservers who charge, have 100's on there books.
-
the obvious way is that each friend get their own card/setup and look after their own families just as you will!!
-
Basically if you are not sharing the load with others, then everything goes on to your server so it can get overloaded so as caz said the best way is to cardshare, so if everyone in your 'family' get their own boxes with their own card and set up their own server, then you won't have to suffer the burden of everyone's viewing. If you are a sly subscriber there is always multiroom which could potentially get you another card for a bit extra money.
-
Many of my friends and family have just been made redundant, they are willing to help with set up costs that is why i am asking if you get a better set up if you splash out a bit more cash.
Also if it had its own broadband connection with nothing else running of it would this help,Thanks guys. -
Any more thoughts on the above post lads.

More bandwidth will allow more connections.

I think you now have the basic understanding on whats needed to start a pc server so i will close this thread.
