Remember, there are no 'official' Starview representatives posting here.

Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how can you be traced from the server to your house, my IP address is something like 192.168.1.20, how is this linked to me, what if i set a stasic IP??

Thats your Private IP address or internal IP address. Think of your Home as your own Network and The web as a larger separate Network. For you to connect to the web you will need a Public IP address or external IP address. This is provided by your sService Provider. This is what connects to the server and therefor it is possible to trace as the Service Provider knows who uses which Public IP address.

Your router translates your Private IP to your Public IP. It connects or provides a route from your home network to the larger network (the web).

Hope this helps.

The 192.168.x.x address range is your private IP address. So, if you have, say, a PC and two laptops they might be 192.168.0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 with your router being 0.1. This is your private network. Your router will convert your private IP address into a public IP address when connecting to the Internet. Nothing to do with static IP's or anything.

If you have a private cardshare with a group of trusted friends (for educational purposes), the only other party outside your group that could potentially see what is being transmitted is your ISP (Again, if you are a server, use a second, non-tv-providing ISP for a card share network). The second ISP are unlikely to look at your connection as card sharing does not use download/upload bandwidth usage that would be looked at as "suspicious". Remember, this second ISP connection is dedicated purely to sharing fairly small bits of data between a few remote devices so even if everyone's box was on constantly for the entire month, it would still be well below any "fair use" policy from the ISP. They also wouldn't even look unless a TV provider got a court order forcing the second ISP to disclose your details.

This is 99.99999999999% impossible however, as the tv providers wont even know you have a network in the first place anyway - and they can't just start randomly accusing people of sharing without proof (Proof that they simply can never get).

The only way they could possibly know is if (A), You were stupid enough to operate the server using a TV provider as an ISP or (B), someone in your group was 'sharing their share' with an untrusted source. And, if such a member was sharing their share for profit, and they happened to share with an undercover TV provider agent, that would be no longer considered for "educational purposes" - it would be a 'payserver'. This would expose the entire group and leave everyone liable to huge fines and (especially for the 'server') a possible prison sentence and criminal record.

This is what happened to starview and U*C. Thanks to their undercover agent being provided with a connection from SV, U*C got the IP address of the server, got the evidence of an illegal 'Payserver' operating, obtained the "pay server" location and then got the equipment with EVERYBODY'S IP address on it. So remember:

* Trusted & reliable group of family/friends
* Do not be greedy and/or stupid by selling (or even sharing) your share publicly for profit.
* 'Server' to use a dedicated ISP for the group share that isn't a TV service provider
* Do not be greedy and/or stupid by selling your share publicly for profit. (I can't stress this enough!!!)

BTW, this is all based on a sat share - haven't done it with cable myself - though there's no reason it wont work the same way. It's just cable sucks, that's all :)

is it likely that what they got was one of the CW upload servers rather than the client server? which is probably abroad somewhere?

How could the server be abroad? Ultimately, It would have to be connected to cable here wouldn't it?

Knock off the caps lock as it's considered shouting on forums.
You were answered on the other thread you asked the same question on but obviously didn't bother reading it http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/838937/5181192

Anyone able to help me, my mate asked me to have a look at his SV HD combo with LAN as he couldnt get any channels. I have reflashed the box with latest firmware but when the box is on it keeps rebooting and as time passes the reboots happen at a shorter time to the point the box is in a constant reboot cycle.

Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this please?

Thanks
