Hello all im in IRL and as everyone is aware they have switched to 3 on cable, so I am thinking of getting a Dreambox what i need to know is if public card sharing works over here and is there a tutorial out there any were that i could get to help me set it up.
Thanks

I don't think you need a card with Dreamboxes, just flash an image onto it and adjust your satellite dish depending on what channels you want to watch.

Blakey - even the famed dreambox doesnt give you many channels magically for free. Most of the satellite encryptions are secure these days so access to a subscription is required.

This is achieved either by your own card or via a card share.

Yes it will work via broadband connecton at both ends. Dont even think about buyng into a commercial card share site - the shares are often poor quality and you have no idea who is running them.

Ok, well I just thought the Dreambox-S would be the same as the Dreambox-C. I am a cable guy myself so I am sorry if I mislead you lambo

ok so are there any free public cs sites out there that you could reconmend ?

kegnkiwi · 20-08-09, 01:22 PM

There are no free servers, or at least no ones that would last very long.. No point in setting up a free server theres no finanicial gain from it. Most people who are into cs don't chat about it and some who pay for the service keep it quiet because they don't want it swamped with other people. More people sharing a card to worse the picture quality ends up. Thats why thered not a whole lot of chat about cs.

lambo · 20-08-09, 01:26 PM

ok so would i be right in saying that the best way to do it is if a small group up people set it up between them to work off one subscription

Analoguesat · 20-08-09, 01:30 PM

The best way to do it is for a bunch of friends to all buy one subscription and share all the cards out between you.

Or stick a few hundred pounds each into a common fund and buy the cards.

The best cards (eg Sky Italia full pack) are horrendously expensive if bought in the uk - nearly a thousand quid a year from some dealers!
