Default Sky Box Office Question

Does anyone know if you can use 9V DC to bypass sky box office pay per view payment requests.

It's impossible to avoid paying for PPV events via Sky with any method (inc the oldest wives tale of unplugging the telephone line connection).

it works but only to a certain extent - you can just as easy pick your phone up and ring someone then order your film - wait for it to go through, then disconnect sky box from phone line and away you go - but the information is stored on the viewing card so if some time later the box is connected and allowed to do a callback you will get billed for whatever you have watched - there is also a credit limit on the viewing card (£50?) so once you reach that limit you wont get anymore films til the box does a callback

ISTR the credit limit was reduced drastically a while back to stop the old 9v trick.
