If you care to read under my avatar and my signature below I am staff so I am not being ripped off in anyway but at least the thieves are now losing their channels but can always find an extra £800 to get a dish fitted, what fool that guy actually is.

If he did that, that's Sky's problem. Possibly not even Sky's problem, seeing as there is plenty of that sort of stuff available for free if you know where to point the dish.

BTW, this is a Cable Forum. If Sky have problems with their encryption, it's nothing to do with us.

And If he'd have looked around, I dare say he'd have got it for half that..

Nope. Not interested in the slightest in what you think. You, however, clearly are interested in us, else you wouldn't keep coming back.

You can close this thread as everyone is now aware that the card swaps are actually working and illegal boxes are now no longer working in the card swap areas.

We already have a thread for updates on the smartcards here. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...l-changes.html

Is this just a one off effort by VM to clear a back log of uncollected boxes etc or will there be full time collectors from now on?
