My neighbour called me a prat yesterday for paying for cable. I told him months ago that the boxes he sells won't work soon yet they still work months after getting our new cards.
He seems to think that a new box has been made something to do with account sharing. Anyways he thinks he's got a full proof way of still stealing cable and his new box beats encryptions.
He's gonna look the prat when his full proof plan doesn't work, just a matter of time.

Your neighbour is the prat but unfortunately he is right. Even after the new encryption is in place there is a way to steal - it's called card sharing. I hope that Virgin Media will make it their next job to stop this too.

Wouldn't that mean that someone will have to agree to allow them access to their account that they pay for? Seems stupid for them to pay full price and let someone else steal from you. He said something about being able to watch what I'm watching.

they wont pay full price though will they they will charge

One good thing about card sharing is that it leaves a log and once the server is tracked they also then have all the IP's of the people connecting.. granted the server might be abroad but there's a better chance at removing in a single stroke thousands of people off in one go than currently just hitting a person selling these boxes

Isn't it strange how many "guests" are viewing this thread

Reports suggest boxes now going off in the stoke area.

Indeed and the person who set up the card share will be prosecuted.

Good...we are all paying up to and over £100pm and these low-lives think they can get the same services for bupkis, think again.

Dont do the crime if you can't do the time. Yes

Don't feel guilty if you rob their services,they dont feel guilty robbing you. Yes

Don't whine and moan about people robbing the services just because your in an area that doesn't support cable and your can't rob the services yourself! lol

And join the ride

P.S I dont watch Sky/VM or much TV in general but I hate big corporate businesses taking us all for a ride. Good look to the thieves. Also if everyone got rid of their chipped boxes and joined Virgin if you think Virgin would think thanks guys we will knock £5 off everyones package price then your on cloud cuckoo land.

Get real

If it can be made and designed by one HUMAN it can be replicated and stolen!

What a completely crappy outlook on life...dear me why bother getting up in the morning.
