Cyfrowy Polsat Multiroom: Updates, Cards vs Decoders, Connectivity & Sub-Decoder Usage

Best answers

Can I use a Cyfrowy Polsat Multiroom sub-decoder without moving the card, and does it need to be in the same room or network as the main decoder?

For the existing Cyfrowy Polsat Multiroom setup, you still have to use the card or keep both decoders linked together; you cannot simply move a decoder to another room and expect it to work on its own [#17350255][#17349094] The main and additional decoder must be in the same local network, and the antenna connection does not matter; a home router is enough, internet access is not required, or you can connect the two decoders directly with an Ethernet cable [#17368590][#17709843] Polsat also needed both decoders to be together, so using one decoder in one place and the other far away was not supported [#17350879][#17352505] A future EVOBOX LITE decoder was mentioned as having automatic authorization / wireless multiroom, but that was only an upcoming option at the time, not the standard solution yet [#17376958][#17398634]

    Hello,
    Has something changed in this topic? Do you still have to run with cards?
    Is it possible to travel with a decoder instead of a card?
    So I take a sub-decoder and connect to the electricity and antennas, I translate the card from the main decoder unlocks and take the decoder to the other room ??

    Nothing has changed. From time to time, the additional decoder requests a basic decoder card. For example, yesterday. You can not change only card decoders. Connecting to the antenna does not matter. The converter is dual and it does not matter to which decoder what cable.

    I guess it's easier to transfer the card itself from the main to the subordinate one? Is not it?

    Let's not look ahead. Maybe in a dozen or so dozens of years running with cards will be robots for us.
    What's the problem? Do you keep the basic decoder in the safe and the key has been lost.

    Any day a decoder should appear in the CP offer EVOBOX LITE with a built-in WiFi module. Perhaps this is the beginning of changes in the CP multiroom communication method?

    Certainly not. Polsat must be sure that both decoders are together.

    This does not prevent the authorization with the main decoder being on the network.

    It seems impossible. Then I have one decoder in Poland and the other in England and communication over the network allows authorization?

    Exactly, after LAN (home)
    In NC + this is for years, even by wi-fi. - I just have this set.

    What does the "home" LAN mean? I do not think the home group needs Windows. Can you open a little bit of secrecy?

    The main decoder and additional decoder will have to be connected to the same local area network in the same IP addressing.

    That's how it was and will be.


    However, the surprise will be, because the new decoder for the production of Cyfrowy Polsat EVOBOX LITE will have the possibility of "automatic authorization" with the main decoder, no translation of the card will be required.

    These decoders are already in distribution to the points of sale, they will start selling them any day.

    So at the moment, just putting cards? How will EVOBOX LITE be available then you will need to have internet at home or give a router with a net?

    You have to wait a while, it may be that the net (Internet network) will not be needed at all, only you will need the technology for communication, ie Wi-Fi itself (such as bluetooth, irda), which can be implemented in decoders. because since EVOBOX and its LITE version have built-in Wi-Fi modules, they may be able to communicate themselves without access to the Internet.

    A little digs up, but decoders must be in the same local area network, they must be seen in the simplest way)

    It seems to me that the simplest solution will be VPN

    You do a VPN server in the Home Network then you log in to him eg from England and theoretically the viewers decode.

    I confirm that the decoders must be in the same local network. All you need is a router at home to set up such a connection. You do not need internet connection. There are two more ways, you can connect both decoders with an Ethernet cable (but then only 2) with each other, set addresses and also works.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around the functionality and requirements of the Cyfrowy Polsat Multiroom system, particularly regarding the use of cards and decoders. Users confirm that currently, additional decoders often require the main decoder's card for operation. However, the upcoming EVOBOX LITE model is expected to introduce a significant change by allowing "automatic authorization" without the need for card transfer, utilizing built-in WiFi for communication. It is emphasized that both the main and additional decoders must be connected to the same local area network (LAN) for proper functionality, and there is speculation about future advancements that may eliminate the need for internet access altogether, relying instead on local communication technologies.

FAQ

TL;DR: "You do not need internet connection." Direct Ethernet supports 2 decoders; keep both on the same LAN. For CP Multiroom users asking how to stop running with cards, this explains today’s working setups. [Elektroda, pasikonik5, post #17709843]

Why it matters: CP Multiroom subscribers can cut card-shuffling, avoid outages, and set up LAN-based pairing correctly.

Quick Facts

Do I still have to run with cards on CP Multiroom?

Yes. On card-based CP Multiroom, the additional decoder periodically asks for the main decoder’s card. Users report it happening “from time to time.” Swapping the card remains the designed workflow for those models. [Elektroda, griseg, post #17349094]

Can I carry the sub-decoder to another room instead of swapping the card?

You could move the sub-decoder, but carrying the card is simpler. “Connecting to the antenna does not matter.” A twin LNB lets any cable feed any decoder. So, swap the card instead of moving hardware and cabling. [Elektroda, griseg, post #17349094]

Will EVOBOX LITE remove card swapping with automatic authorization?

Yes. EVOBOX LITE adds automatic authorization with the main decoder. No card translation is required once paired. That removes the card shuffle on those boxes. [Elektroda, pasikonik5, post #17376958]

Do I need Internet access, or only a home network?

You do not need Internet access. “No internet only home network.” A local router or switch that creates a LAN is enough. Internet service is optional for authorization between decoders. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17399932]

What does “home LAN” mean for CP Multiroom?

Both decoders must be on the same local network and IP addressing. Connect them to one router or switch so they share a subnet. That proximity enables authorization between the main and sub-decoder. [Elektroda, netTv, post #17368590]

Can I pair decoders across countries over the Internet?

No. Authorization expects both decoders on the same local network. Placing them in different locations breaks that requirement. Keep them on one LAN and IP subnet at home. [Elektroda, netTv, post #17368590]

How do I directly connect two decoders without a router?

Yes, you can link them directly with Ethernet. Limit is two decoders in this mode. How-To:
  1. Connect an Ethernet cable between both decoders’ LAN ports.
  2. Set static IP addresses on the same subnet on each decoder.
  3. Restart both devices to let authorization complete.
“You do not need internet connection” for this to work. [Elektroda, pasikonik5, post #17709843]

Does it matter which LNB cable feeds which decoder?

No. With a twin LNB, cable order does not matter. “Connecting to the antenna does not matter.” Either output can feed any decoder independently. [Elektroda, griseg, post #17349094]

How many decoders can I link when I skip the router?

Two. A direct Ethernet link supports only two decoders. Use a router or switch for broader home networking. [Elektroda, pasikonik5, post #17709843]

Will Cyfrowy Polsat provide a router, or must I buy one?

They do not include a router. “They do not give only sell.” Any basic router that creates a home LAN will work. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17399932]

Does EVOBOX LITE support Wi‑Fi multiroom?

Yes. “Yes, this decoder will have a wireless multiroom.” That means it can authorize over your home Wi‑Fi. [Elektroda, netTv, post #17398634]

Why does my sub-decoder suddenly ask for the main card again?

Periodic authorization checks trigger this on card-based setups. Users report the sub-decoder asks for the main card “from time to time.” Insert the main card to reauthorize, then return it as needed. [Elektroda, griseg, post #17349094]

Does CP require both decoders to be together in one home?

Yes. “Polsat must be sure that both decoders are together.” The system enforces proximity by requiring same-network authorization. Keep both units on one home LAN. [Elektroda, griseg, post #17350879]

Can a VPN make remote multiroom work?

A user suggested a VPN to emulate one local network. “Theoretically the viewers decode.” This remains an unverified workaround and may not be reliable. [Elektroda, xaydestroyer, post #17687410]
