what hardware do i need to share with friends (complete newbie) step by step guide

depends on how many good friends you have,,, there really is no need to go past 10 good peers
to find out more , go to the relevant section CARDSHARING

a good box like VU+ can handle 30 peers - then it will struggle ! to share with more you can use a pc server ! The question would then be what are your intentions ? Sharing is so we can watch all packages from across europe _ Not provide cheap knock down subscription tv. If you want to get every package across europe 30 peers should be sufficient ?

Hi masterg
I have just bought a ***box F5 can this be used on a pc/Linux server or do I need a Vu+ or similar?
Before I get that can anybody recommend a sub card (not ***) that I could use for sharing?
