What does being unable to trivially hack cable services have to do with government surveillance?

That's about as relevant to personal freedom as you being unable to hack the VPN I use to communicate with my work.

What has defrauding a cable company got to do with Big Brother.

I have seen some crap posted in my time on here about hacking cable but your post must come close to the top of the all time list for reason for and against.

The answer has been posted here for you. It is Phone up and pay like the rest of us.

Simples ;)

But I bet you have "a friend" who does.....:dozey:

It's also a sad day when people can't walk into your house and take whatever they want - Big Brother society indeed.....

customer buying a TV from me today told me he'd just paid Â£160 for a new 'Dodgy box' that uses your broadband connection.
he looked all scary when he grinned at me "they're back!"

I'm very aware of what the technology will do, I have experience in DPI, network security and cryptography, and I'm still struggling to see the link between conditional access systems and surveillance.

Re: can i DIY swap in a V plus box in place of a V box

The link is extremely tenuous, at best, and non-existent in reality.....
