It's not how far apart you are, but whether you are on the same net id or not that matters.

Its actually not the Netid that matters but the ubr and possibly its node !

Generally, your only on the same node as maybe 20-100 close neighbours. UBR's can have quite a lot of individual node connections so can often support many thousands of customers. The UBR node is usually the first external hop in any route trace (Dos - 'tracert' command).

Ultimately, if a box isn't on precisely the same ubr node then vm can see that its not where its supposed to be and they could easily use this info in a similar way to how sky use telephone numbers with Multiroom.

Sharing boxes over more than a small distance may work for now but eventually i'm sure vm will start to look at the problem, especially as more people try using this method !
