Cccam (Cardsharing Control Protocol) is a software protocol used in satellite television card sharing. It enables multiple satellite TV receivers to access encrypted channels using a single legitimate subscription card. The main function of Cccam is to share the decryption keys over the internet between the main card (server) and other satellite receivers (clients). This setup allows users to watch paid TV channels without having individual subscriptions. Cccam lines, which contain the necessary connection details, are configured in the satellite receivers to establish this sharing network.
Cccam subscriptions refer to services where users pay to access shared satellite TV decryption keys via the Cccam protocol. These subscriptions allow multiple satellite receivers to decrypt and view encrypted TV channels using a single subscription card shared over the internet. Users configure their satellite receivers with Cccam lines provided by the subscription service to connect to the server and access the TV channels. These subscriptions are often marketed as a cost-effective way to access premium channels.
