BBC may charge Sky for content as retransmission fee row escalates.

In that case they will have to charge all other providers including Virginmedia, a PSB cannot discriminate.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

So is it only sky charging to carry BBC,ITV,Channel 4 and channel 5 or does virgin,freesat and freeview also charge to carry these channels?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Thats not good. Not sure if i should uninstall all my Sky Apps or not

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I would have thought as long as you don't have auto-update on..you should be fine

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I do have auto update on but doesnt always update. I have been into my apps and checked all installed apps and it still shows as the Sky apps are from BSkyB

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Go the FAQ page of the app or similar and click on theSky email link. If an error comes up or your email client loads up with the bskyb email address, then you know your app is ok.

I pulled apart the code of the apps I have (took the code files out of the apk) installed and can see they are ok.

The SEA have quite a few high profile companies in their hacked portfolio. Sometimes other hacks give details that can be used for hacks like this but the SEA often spear-phish which enables them to target specific companies. As to where that leads them, this time it was likely to one of Sky's developers or whoever there uploads the apk's to the market.

They either got Sky's login details to the market and uploaded their own modified APK, or modified the apk on a developers machine they had access to. Security processes can be put in place to check checksums of files along the development process, which I guess Sky will implement if the internal machines wee compromised.

I would like to see one of the modified apk's to a diff check to see what the SEA had changed. I am guessing there is no dangerous code, just images changed as its very simple to do and recompile the apk.

Suspicion on whether it was done, but prevention best medicine (ie uninstall)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Got an error as the link to email address is done incorrect but does show as Skys email address

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
