Cardsharing is a process by virtue of which multiple subscribers can enjoy digital TV with just a single subscription card. This is very helpful in various scenarios. For example, a household has multiple television sets and doesn’t want to pay the price for multiple subscriptions. They can use this process to share that single subscription among all the television sets via the internet and save money on multiple subscriptions. Needless to say, this method is extremely popular in countries where there are limitations on number of subscriptions or with people who simply want to save money on the long run.

There is also one more feature that makes a cardshare worthwhile. Say, you have a subscription card with a certain channel package enabled. This means some channels are available for your viewing and others are not. What happens is that the signals for these blocked channels is encrypted and cannot be decoded by your satellite receiver. With this method though, you can decrypt these signals and enjoy all the channels at the price of your current subscription.

Interested in knowing how it works? The internet is ...
... your best friend. But just to get some basic idea, let us see what makes the whole thing work. There are a few things we need to get the system up and running. First, we need a CCcam server. Next up is a legitimate subscription card. Next we need a receiver with network capabilities. If we wish to share with ‘n’ television sets, then we need ‘n+1’ receivers. One will act as a ‘host’ and the others act as ‘clients’. Obviously, you also need a good broadband internet connection. With all that technical stuff out of the way, let us see what exactly happens.

First, we insert the subscription card into the ‘host’ receiver. Then we connect that receiver to the internet via a computer. We don’t need to hook up the ‘client’ receivers with a computer though. After that, we need to log into the server. CCcam is simply the name of the protocol that is used to speak with the server. This enables us to receive and decrypt encrypted signals from the satellite. This is quite vital to the whole process. There is a wealth of options from which to choose, so you can choose a server that best suits your need.Few things to keep in mind; the receivers have to be properly configured for this setup to work. The ‘host’ receiver recognizes the ‘client’ servers based on their IP address so this will have to be done manually.

Simply put, this is a new method of watching TV and has become extremely popular. So popular that, in fact cable companies have started to promote cardsharing plans from their end to appease customers. Nowadays many companies have started to put all of their services under a single account for simplicity and efficiency. This is nothing but a similar concept for the world of satellite television and looks set to become the standard in the future.
