If im to be honest only people i know who adapt the "get it as cheap as possible" par from people who really cannt afford it.

So why are the cheapest supermarkets the most popular?

You are confusing cause and effect - most people go to them because they have heard you shop at Waitrose...... ;)

cant be arsed to read through 35 pages, a certain website that publishes codes today has posted the following on there website

Quote:

From this day forward posting of any new codes to the discussion forums is prohibited.

Existing posts and discussion threads remain in place, but no updates to code posts or new threads requesting for codes are allowed.

Thank you.
so looks like VM are putting pressure on the right people to stop the flow of these boxes & codes to make them work.

It wont stop the hardcore technically savvy unfortunately, but not much will. It will stop many though which I believe is the target which should prove to be easily done.

Nah the codes are still up and around on certain firefox extentions.

I don't think vm are really putting the scare on them I think it's more to do with that bloke who got sent to prison for selling/using them :dozey:

Well it's been that way for years and with the old analogue sky.

People always want something for free and it used to be just a geeky thing where people who knew enough would be able to do it but now the plug and play boxes have made it easier for anyone with half a brain to do it.

It's interseting to read up about the boxes and for the most part the normal people who use the boxes are expecting the end of them soon enough (nagra 2/3 etc) and the people who make the codes seem to be up for virgins code changes and see it as some sort of challenge to crack their encryption.

In the end as long as I am legal I don't care lol ;)

True and until Virgin invest it will be that way.

I used to want one as a second box in the bedroom because when I phoned VM nobody could give me a straight answer and I got quoted £5 a month and £15 a month...in the end I just moved the Sky box upstairs
