In a word NO.
The PPV tier on the cards are no longer used anymore, so regardless of how much 'credit' you input on the card, you aint gonna get any PPV!
However, if you use a box that has the T/bk enabled, then the MAC address of the box, which is usually connected to some poor buggers account, will end up being debited for YOUR purchases! (Not cool)
I personally use a T/Bk switch for viewing BBC I player or 4 on Demand ONLY. Which of course is free, and doesnt 'flag up' any alerts with the cc. If however you start to purchase any films, boxing matches, services etc (regardless of credit on your card), then your boxes Mac address will be BLACKLISTED and then you get all the hastle that might come with it. Anyways, why be TOO gready... Your already screwing the cc out of enough cash aint ya??

I've always found that it's amazing what you can get away with when you don't take the PI**. And the little extras that are available are always ruined by a few greedy prople who take the PI**

Just my two pence worth

really? so its ok to use the catch up stuff, just not films?

i've never had tb connected on a box, just because folk say not to... but i have often wondered if its kind of like a scare tactic... am not advising it, and i know there are people out there that blatantly dont give a **** anf d leave it on any way, but have any of these people ever got caught? and i dont mean ''i've heard from a mate of a mate, of a bloke in the pub'' sort of stories, but has any one on here got any personal experiences?

i liken it to the days when at the start of every video (disney videos when i were young) there would be an advert saying ''pirate videos will damage you video player''... it was a load of rubbish, but people saw the advert and were dertered enough not to buy them...

i'm not in anyway advertising the use of tb, and i have never had mine connected myself... i'm just playing devils advorcate here with the fact it seems to be something thats taken as red that u must do, (and its pretty obvious that remianing un noticed on there radar is the best way) and its something thats passed down the line as a must, but who has done it and whats has happened as a result...

R.I.P the good old days of film flex and prem plus with tb cut... haha
