I sincerely believe that there is some element of joy when one can perform specific tasks independently. Today, I shall be discussing a crucial topic on how to renew the forever server and Gshare iks/sks account online and by yourself to be used on supported decoders.
Gshare is the broad name given to the IKS/SKS/SDS cardsharing server that is provided by some unknown groups in Middle-East Asia. This account has been adopted as the proprietary account of some top satellite decoders such as tigerstar, t.link, starsat HD, starmax, Geant HD, and so on.
Gshare account has been in use since the days of “microbox dongle” which preceded the release of avatar dongles. When there was a switch from sks/sds technology to iks, gshare account was integrated into t.link decoders. Subsequently, other STB manufacturers adopted the server.
In addition, there are many sub-categories or variants of Gshare server, such as gshare forever account, gshare funcam, gshare apollo, ghsare1,2 and 3, gshare internet account, and gshare SDS accounts. The server opens several satellite packages in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
What are Cardsharing Servers/Accounts?
You will notice that in my explanation above, I mentioned the name cardsharing. Now, what is cardsharing with regard to satellite tv technology?
Cardsharing is the process of sharing a valid smart card subscription with many satellite receivers to watch pay-tv channels freely or at a fraction of the official subscription fee. Therefore, the Card sharing method enables users to watch scrambled or encrypted pay channels by many viewers (receivers) with the use of only one valid digital smart card. If you want to learn more about this, including how you can set up a card-sharing server, please read my DIY guide here.
Categories and Types of Cardsharing Servers
There are two broad categories of card-sharing servers, namely:
- Internet keys sharing simply known as IKS
- Satellite keys sharing or satellite data sharing is also known as SKS/SDS.
Types of Card-Sharing Accounts
Types of SKS/SDS Accounts | Examples of IKS Accounts |
Biss acoounts | Gshare accounts and other internet-dependent proprietary accounts |
PowerVu service accounts | Any Cccam, mgcamd Accounts |
Other accounts that doesn’t use internet to open encrypted channels such as Gshare SDS | |

Variants of Gshare Servers
The following account types fall under the gshare server and they are jointly categorized as gshare accounts. All ghsare accounts have a minimum of 1-year validity. The only exception here is funcam which has just 6 months
- GSHARE
- GSHARE2
- Starshare
- Gshare SDS: The only Card sharing Gshare account that doesn’t require internet to operate
- GSHARE3
- Gshare-Funcam: Usually comes with 6 months validity
- Gshare FOREVER
- Gshare APOLO: This is the official IPTV server for Ghare and forever supported devices

How to Check if Your Decoder is Compatible with Gshare Account or Forever Server
- First off, the decoder must have a 12-digit serial number on the box or in the “about STB” menu of the decoder. To view your 12 digits’ serial number within your decoder, press the menu on your remote then select “about STB”.
- Furthermore, you must have seen ghsare account protocol in the server list on the decoder. To access the ghshare server, First, connect your decoder to the internet, then press F1 and 666 in quick succession on your remote control you will see the default server type which must indicate Ghshare1, 2 or 3. If your remote doesn’t respond to the shortcode, press menu on your RCU>>goto expansion and you will see the server.
Requirements for Renewing Your forever server and Gshare on Supported Receivers
There are basic requirements for renewing a forever, funcam, apollo or gshare account successfully. Once you have these basic things in place, you can easily renew your account.
- Firstly, I strongly advise you to upgrade your satellite decoder to the latest software available. Upgrading to the latest software will enhance your decoder’s performance and stability with the account. You can also upgrade your devices via the decoder’s builtin software upgrade menu.
- Secondly, you must connect your decoder to a relatively fast and stable internet.
- Of course, you need money. Make sure you have enough balance in your PayPal account or BTC wallet. Set this aside for the renewal. Make you have at least $45
- There mustn’t be electricity failure or outage throughout the process. Failure to heed this instruction may result in an incomplete account recharge process.

How to Recharge or Renew the forever server and Gshare IKS/SDS Account on Supported Decoders
- Search for Gshare account recharging sites on ww.google.com. You can do this by typing the search term “renew gshare”. You will see many websites that offer this service. go with the most highly rated. Mind you, for peace of mind, you may choose to go with a site that has HTTPS. I discovered that renewbox is efficient for all Gshare servers. Similarly, tpoentrance.cc is competent regarding Forever Server recharging.
- Secondly, you will need either PayPal or BTC to pay these guys.
- Next, input your “12 digits serial number,” as seen below
- Enter your Auth Code. This is optional in most cases

- Verify that your box is expired by using the website to “query” the account validity.
- Before payment, make sure your decoder is switched on.
- After confirming your payment, press the “charge” button on the recharge site.
- Now, wait for the transaction to complete within the same window. This may take between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
- You will receive a pop-up message saying, “Charge Successful.”
- Then Query the “Serial Number” to verify if it is renewed
- The new query after renewal will give you your new validity period on any of the accounts you opted to recharge. This could be Apollo, funcam, Forever Server, or Gshare Account
- Finally, you can reboot your decoder and enjoy your favorite channels.
- Congratulations, you have renewed your Forever, Apollo, or Ghshare account for another year.
Packages and Channels on Gshare
It is a known fact that Gshare account is associated with broadcast piracy due to its involvement in illegal cardsharing. Take note of this, as we are not encouraging such. We aren’t link you directly to anyone who can help you renew your account. However, you can easily do the same yourself. The below satellite list is fully supported by the Gshare server and they contain any form of tv program that you can imagine. This includes football matches globally, news, entertainment, movies, and other sporting events.
- Iraq&Lebaon Local [1.0E]
- Astra 4A [5.0E]
- Eutelsat 9A [9.0E]
- Hotbird [13.0E] 10719
- Hispasat [30.0W]
- Eutelsat 16A [16.0E]
- Astra1 [19.2E]
- Astra 3A/3B [23.5E]
- Astra 2 [28.2E]
- Hellas Sat 2 [39.0E]
- Turksat 2A/3A [42.0E]
- Thaicom 5 [78.5E]
- Measat 3/3a [91.5E]
- Optus C1/D3 [156.0E]
- Nilesat [7.0W]
- Thor 5/6 [1.0W]
- Eutelsat 5 [5.0W]
List of Satellite that you can use as Gshare SDS Server
- Express AM8 14.0ºW (frequency: 10955 H 1555 KU band) still active
- Eutelsat 12 at 12.5ºW(frequency: 10963 V 4600 Ku band) very active
- Yahsat (52.5E)
- Eutelsat W3A-1 (7.0E)
- Eutelsat W3A Africa (7.0E) partially active
- W6 or W6-1(21.6E)
Steps to activate the SDS mode After Gshare Account Renewal
- Firstly, track your dish and point it to any working “Gshare SDS Server” from my list above. You can track the server in a 90cm dish in West Africa. SDS mode uses either Express AM8 14.0ºW (frequency: 10955 H 1555 KU band) or Eutelsat 12 at 12.5ºW(frequency: 10963 V 4600 Ku band)
- Secondly, track the satellite package that you want to watch. Hotbird is the most popular on this list. you will need a dish bigger than 3.5 meters to receive most channels on Hotbird.
- Next, connect the LNB cable from your Hotbird to “tuner 1” LNB port.
- Connect the LNB/coaxial cable from your server dish to the “tuner 2” LNB IN port at the back of your decoder.
- Now, you need to power on your receiver, and once it boots dial “F1 + 111” on your remote quickly, and it will take you to the UART Mode list. Choose “SDS Mode”.
- Congratulations, you have enabled SDS mode and can use it to watch satellite tv packages supported by the server. I will quickly add that the internet(iks) mode is overall more reliable than the SDS mode.
Bonus Point: Download T.Link 900H Software
- Download and upgrade your t.link 900hd to at least version 1.73. You can download it 1Tlink900_V173_20131115_8M_2Tuner. To learn how to load software into t.link decoder via USB, follow this guide.
- Check your SDS expiry info by pressing the following on your remote: F1 111>>SDS MODE>>Don’t choose w3a Africa; scroll down to where you see SDS inf>> note your current date and expiry date.
- Check your serial number; now, your serial number, in this sense, is not the one on the body of your decoder; please check the one from the following path in your decoder settings>>About stb.
- The final part is for you to contact me for the renewal proper. As I said, all we need is your serial number, and by the time we are done, you will see your decoder come back to life for another 365days
Sir Lemmy,from you explanation on sds installation I need to track the server satellite and the one I need to watch and. The two goes to the back of my decoder. Does that mean that the decoder has two lnb ports? Coz the ones common only have one lnb port(in) and some with lnb(out).is this the kind of decoder I should use or is there another one designed only for that purpose(the one with two tuners)
@Muhammaad: yes, you need a decoder with dual tuner/lnb PORTS.

which decoder tips for Italian s#y ?
@lambyd, i don’t understand your question
Hi..
I have been attempting over and over all day to update the SW version on my TLINK600HD with the newest version 3.1 downloaded from TR321.com.
I followed the following steps:
1. I downloaded it, and extracted the BIN file.
2. I placed the BIN file on a USB.
3. I went to Expansion/USB on the receiver, and requested to update. It asked me if I want to upgrade, I said Yes.
4. Next it said updating, do not power off.
5. Next it said “update successful”.. and then it started rebooting.
6. Finally, when it rebooted, it was still the old version 2.73 !!!
I did this over and over and over.
I also did factory reset many many times.
Nothing seems to be working, I cannot upgrade to v3.1 ..
Please advise.
@Frustrated, maybe you should first upgrade to a holder version of tlink 600hd before upgrading to the latest version
