Do You Use 2 Ubc Receivers ?

[regedit]

I live between 2 places, Cha Am and Chon Buri and plan to get 2 UBC receivers in the Cha Am place under one subscription, so that I can watch UBC in more than one room. When I go to Chon Buri for a week or so I thought I'd just take one receiver with me and plug it in there. Does anyone know if this would work (ie. 1 package serving 2 receivers in 2 locations) or have advise about how to do this. I guess the official way is to have a subscription at each location, but that's abit expensive. Thanks.

If you dont need to watch both simultaneously as per your description just get a second install done (cheap not a UBC one) and take the smartcard with you.

If you do need 2 concurrent systems you need to get a second smartcard (they often demand to fit a second system with all its deposits and charges) on the extra card for a +500 ish baht charge deal.. Then move the system / card to the other location.. I suspect this is breaking the TOS for True tho.

There are other much more complex ways, involving the sharing of the card info over a network solution but far beyond the scope of basic use.

As long as you have antenna/LNB at second location not a problem.

UBC cards are not married to a particular receiver so buying a second cheap set and taking your card back and forth will work just fine.

It's possible that both could be in use at the same time so a second smartcard and moving the second set-up may be the way to go. Do you know if there's anyway UBC can detect this type of use (which I think is breaking their TOS) ?

Thanks.

No theres no 'phone home' location system of this.

Card splitting may be a little complicated but not as hard as this suggests. See:

I think 9sat.com and some of the other Thai dealers sell similar devices, possibly wired versions. Wireless is the neatest way.

Well its not rocket science but it does require 2 reliable broadband internet connections at either end etc.. I still think its not basic use and I card share in my own network. I probably wouldnt bother if I have to WAN it.
