set top box

[tubbiescooter]

is it true you can get a internet connection through your hacked set top box by connecting a router to it? if so what kind of speed are we looking at and how easy is it to set up ?

I've never come across that, you can get an internet connection from a hacked modem.

just from chatting to a mate of mine someone he's knows runs a router from their hacked pace cable box ?? and they get tinternet i'll have to try lay my hands on a router and give it ago

All I know is that the internal modem on pace stb's can handle upto about 1meg and on the new sammys is something like 4megs plus.

so theres a chance this is right will have to have a look round see what the score is with it all

If I find anything i'll let you know mate.

I Personally disagree.

I doubt you would be able to get broadband through your hacked set top box for the reason that, in a Pace or Sammy or any other Ex-Sub cable box, in order to keep the hacked box secret from the Network you are require to cut "talkback" in the cable box (Unless you want the Provider Knocking on your door) In doing this it disables the boxes abilty to send data back up the cable feed,

If you typed in your browser www.GOOGLE.co.uk for example, the browser needs to send that data to the server - which it couldnt do if talkback had been cut.

So In theory Yes it could be done but your provider would catch you.

Just get a Silver Modem and Use MAC swapping to get your internet service

Hope this helps

So do all the images in the download area enforce the talkback function to be disabled as standard.
