Most people find it difficult to care about a large PLC that takes money off them every month!
It's down to NTL to make their systems secure to prevent them losing revenue. I haven't seen many signs of them doing this.
In the past, Sky have changed their encryption and sent out new subscriber cards to all their customers whenever their system has been hacked. Why can't NTL do something similar? Or would all new STBs be needed?

i agree, it shouldnt be us doing the work for them. they have our money at the end of the month, we worked hard to earn the goal of a paycheck... so NTL must
work hard to earn the goal of MORE CUSTOMERS, LESS BOOTLEGS.
afaik, the protection logic is stored inside the STB / dumb-card, theres nothing on NTL's end deciding what is valid, all the channels are sent regardless, this is why those 'german boxes' will work fine over here... its like tuning in a radio.
its mostly NTL engineers that sell the modded stuff because they have it to hand, if not them its a messenger for them. NTL is getting bummed by its own cock, lol.
as long as im not paying anymore because of their errors, i dont really care... i have my own issues to take care of.
