These "dodgey boxes" that are talked about, they have been around for a long time so I hear, and every time Virgin do whatever it is they do and knock them off, before long they are back up and running. My question is, why is everyone so excited about this now when they maybe up and running again soon? Or is something really being done this time and they won't come back? I am not a "dodgey box" owner, in fact it cheeses me off to think people have got TV for free when I and many others, have to pay! I am not technically in the know about this stuff so please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area.
The new cards use NAGRA3 which has been out around the world for around 3 years and as yet no one has cracked the encryption, so all sellers of dodgy boxes are now desperate to offload them onto unsuspecting fools.
