Cool The old story of Talk back must be cut

IF we cut TB or use a blocker it means that we are un-able to get PPV ( ppv went ages ago, i remember when i had 65k on my card)

IF we cut TB or use a blocker we can`t use ON DEMAND


ok:

Quote:
SO guys this bit is for chatting about:
IF we leave TB on what happens people always ask....

This is my honest thinking and I could be wrong!

The box is seen on the network, if VM wanted they would send a KILL HIT to the card.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS THERE?
Large red light flashes in the control central?
Some gets a pop up?
Do they scan every hour for old boxes? ect etc?
Feedback?


If they wanted they would trace box, this would only get you the UBR. My UBR covers over 50,000 users (as far as I know on my broadband check). They then would I guess be able to trace it to my cab in the road at more time for them.

THEY are unable to trace to my house, as their systerm is not yet that good. They would have to pull the f`s off in the cab to the signal stopped....


NOW I heard a lot of people still using TB and 2 years in no problems...... GET PPV some how on re making money on cards ect

just wanted to see what input you members have got on this subject?

hi,
so you think its safe to make a fun for a subbed box then,and just swap cards over without cutting tb? i thought the ppv's wernt available to *m cos he wouldnt pay s*y the asking price thats why we never got s*y1 back either.

RULE 1

you never play about with a subbed BOX! simple

they can see what channels ur watching and is all ip linked

i did chat with a few other people and they say that if u remove your blocker the IP will show up on there computer and can link it to cab, and even the tap???

More info people?

Subbed box
Use noise bocker ( Means no tampering with box )
Read card
Make fun card

If vm call out just remove noise blocker & insert original card back in.

If they can tell you have read it? you could just say the kids lost the card.

Not something im doing but sounds simple enough

Just saying

No prob mate , i was just interested in what kev was saying,if that was wrong then shoot me

using a noise blocker will have the same effect as using a modded box though.
after all cutting tb is more less the only part of box that needs modded.

was just saying but from now on ill strictly stick to the subject
