Is this even legal?

I don't see how it could be even remotely legal. It should be obvious that every company using those cards has a strict policy of "one card for one receiver".

The pay services in the US and Canada can enforce that by marrying the card to the box. I guess with FTA receivers it's not quite possible to do that.
 
These are big over in Europe and there are even wireless systems. May not be legal here, but in Europe who knows.

Some of the providers charge the entire price per receiver, no $5 mirroring there. The FTA boxes don't have a phone connection so no "phone home" feature to prevent stacking. So I can see why these would be in demand.

Either way it looks like a very expensive way to reduce a $5/mo extra charge per receiver.

Well, $300 for the 4 slave model, so that would be 4x$5 or $20 a month. Of course, something like that would never work legally with any of the major North American DBS providers. I'm not sure about Asia or Europe.
 
Globecast uses Nagravision so that box wouldnt work but I know Globecast charges full price per box (no $5 extra receiver fee)

I see Globecast may be switching over to an IPTV platform. That could make things interesting.

Scott, is that confiremed or speculation? A lot of people still lack broadband connection.

Also, IPTV requires high bandwidth if you have more than one TV.
 
From todays SkyRetailer.COM - As far as I am hearing this is a beta project and if it works here they will expand it.

 
for the GloSat card splitter ( www.glosat.com ) , its used to share one original card with many receivers in the same time, and its popular in Europe, Africa , Asia and Australia because the card splitter support the pobular system their Irdeto2 , Viaccess2 , Seca2 ( Mediaguard2 ) Conax and Cryptoworks and must of this systems is not working in USA and Canada ( as I know because im from Asia ) and its for sattalite provider ( not for cable ) because the cable is pobular in USA and pobular here is the sattalite and its easy to used 1 smart card with 100 receivers or more without any problem.
about the prices of the card splitter is high but saving from the first 2 month because of the providers charge 50 USD must of the time for each month for every smart card or box , so, if you had 4 boxs , you will pay 200 USD monthly , so, you will save 150 USD every month and 1800 USD every year, so, the 300 USD is not that much when you save 150 USD every month, this is for CS4 and for the CS16 with 16 slaves and 700 USD, you will save 750 USD monthly and 9000 USD every year.







 
HACK is when you modified a unit or something to intercept satellite signal for your own use or pass it to someone for use without paying the programming.

This is a stand along unit so it is not hack machine. At the sametime, when a dealer splitted 4 or more receivers from one account, do DTV or Dish do anyhting on this ?? Maybe they think this is elgal too.
 
Wow... in that case hacking is quite the widespread thing!

I saw some more of these around recently. I mostly just sell FTA equipment, but these things are getting popular. Btw, hi there, I'm new around here!
 

Hi Sing,

You know D* & E* do not like this Equipment, and they do consider it illegal... LOL
