well i think ntl need to know about this guy, what he is saying is true cause ntl has been cracked but thats not the point, we're paying for our service and hes selling those so others don't. to ntl (get better encryption like what skys got) i know the boxs will need changing. If this keeps up ntl will end up like itv digital and have very few paying custumers and loads of people getting it for free.

Please note: do not pm me for any information relating to hacking ntl as i will not give anything out, all i can say is theres info avalible on the net but its hard to come by and i will report u to the admins if you do.

Yeah be careful what is posted, I don't want NTL sending the boys round.

Last I heard ntl had a couple of people monitoring Ebay for people selling their boxes.

tomw · 13-10-2003, 00:48

Is it not as easy as NTL imploying one person to go on all the Auction sites and to clamp down on it that way

Sorry already mentioned above

So what should they do then tom?

The first one won't work anyway will it? It specifically says it is not chipped, so just plugging it in to an ntl connection won't make it possible to view channels (unless I'm missing something here).

The second one sounds highly dodgy though!

What I find irritating is that the first sale makes it sound so legitimate, (moving to a non-NTL area, so no longer needed) - don't these people realise that it isn't theirs to sell in the first place? Duh!

They already did but there was a problem and they have had to reschedule for a few weeks time

These boxes are all over the place in our manor chipped up the lot. When NTL block you all you do is unplug it and plug it back in again to get free TV and all the channels. Me I'm on SKY.

They need to collect the boxes when the sub ends the contract....

- then these people wouldn't be able to sell what isn't theirs in the first pace...

Must admit i agree with OB on this NTl need good logistics to do this though. Think i should apply for the contract to pick them up

tomw · 13-10-2003, 18:13

I didnt see it like that until somebody mentioned it
If NTL cant get there Admin in order then people will be able to get hold of these boxes and modify them
If NTL did make a major effort to collect all the boxes then there would be non available to be chipped or whatever they do with them
i bet these boxes are about 400 quid each why dont they pick the bloody things up Sorry NTL i am starting to think you only have yourselves to blame

but hey then you only pass the cost back on to us in your increases

I thought a sub was a boat which went underwater.

Surely you mean a Customer?

No, I meant sub, as in the abbreviation for subscriber, ok?
