Kryptview A780 Server

[adam1]

How comes thousands of people are connected to the KV server, but it rarely freezes/glitches (obviously i'm not complaying). Like on Sky cardsharing, you can only connect 10 people per server to keep it freeze/glitch free, but their are many people connected to the Kryptview A780 server.

Its the difference between a small personal server and a proper commercial type setup.

With the personal server, each client is effectively connected to the card so the card handles only a few clients.

On a commercial setup, the clients never get near the cards. Instead there is some special hardware that cycles the ECM's for a set number of channels and then stores that data on the server. The clients simply request a copy of this data. Depending on the provider a card can usually handle between 10 and 50 channels so to completely cover a service you need several cards. 8-10 subbed cards is not unusual to cover a 200 channel provider. That data can then be served to as many clients as the server has capacity for (usually several thousand).

Also the data exchange is tiny..

a possibility is they have one card for each channel bouquet or maybe even each transponder although that'd be a lot of cards.

I was told that this same method is used by the SV team with there c/s... I.e one card per Transponder.

There's only about 25 transponders on UK cable that carry normal encrypted channels. The rest are either for non encrypted or VOD type transmission. That means 25 cards would do the job nicely although I suspect you could actually cover several transponders with a single card with the right equipment.

Also realise that for some unknown reason channels seem to be grouped together so you get say, premium movies or Sport on just a few transponders so only a few cards need a high sub. The other cards could virtually all be low sub stuff. That makes the system relatively cheap and the potential returns huge for those brave (or foolish) enough to set up such a system !

hi

what suprises me is that why is it that they still get problems even with the setup they have.

i.e like with the HD combo am sure people reported with the freezing issue. wether thats a cccam issue or its there server.
