Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
Pirate cable box makers are fighting back, with the ******** connector, which will allow you to get all channels again.
Admin Edit (Stuart): Do not give out information that could be used to help to steal cable services. Thank you.

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
You mean "Pirate cable box makers are squeezing the last bit of revenue they can out of people". That just enables access to a public cardsharing server, and those things really don't last too long.
Once the n3 rollout is complete you'll see VM switch their attention to actively preventing cardsharing.

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
I hope VM do turn to this after N3 why can't these dole heads get a job and pay for the services they recieve, instead of stealing them.

The irritating thing is that you'd be surprised at how many people that steal services have jobs.

Just so you know it's not just the unemployed that steal cable, most of my mates have had these boxes (at one time) and they all have jobs they just got the boxes because it was a cheap way to save money.
The local pub even had one he used to roll out on match days in the back room

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
Why does cable need to rely on encryption, surely with a true return path cable companies should be able to tell paying customers from ones that are using dodgy boxes?

They cut the return paths on the boxes to stop them calling home, in any event how does one protect the signal without encryption?

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
I badly phrased the question but you know what I mean. So without a return path I take it they have no access to VOD then?

Yeah, you need a return path for VOD... when IPTV is launched, then it will be even harder as you will need a return path to get broadcast channels, not just VOD.
