There is no such thing.

S*y can only be 'stolen' using a method of Pay-TV theft known as card-sharing.

Google will be your best friend when asking what card-sharing is, as I have neither the time nor effort required to explain it in terms that would be understandable!

So yea, its probably a con

As per my previous reply in your other thread - its likely to be a con where a false sub is taken out and the card then wired internally in the box.

The subscription lasts one or two months before sky get wise and switch the card off.

There are rumours of a sky hack circulating but new cards are already being sent to customers so thats not likely to last long, if its actually real !

There have been rumours circulating of a Sky hack for years. Feck all has ever come of it since the went digital.

And WHY has this been posted in the satellite news section ?

Moved.

if someone ever did do that they would keep to themselves, i know i would do

Even if it were true you would only have another few months of use out of it anyway

As far as i am aware Sky NDS2 is still as secure now as it was the day it was released. Not that it matters as Sky NDS3 is now here in the form of the nice new spangly Sky White card

You've more chance of finding Rocking horse sh*t than you have of finding a dodgy skybox.

The last guy that tried anything on with Sky found himself in prison and hes probably still there now. Sky and NDS will throw everything at you to get a conviction if you are involved in anything to do with circumnavigating their encryption. You don't f**k with Sky or NDS.

They aren't pussies like Branson and Virgin Media

heard a rumour where it was a initial £500 outlay for a cloned / modded SKY box and card) all working then every year your chrged £100 to activate it for another year.
£600 is way to much to ask sum1 to pay - cheaper to subscribe

nanochickin · 21-06-09, 04:19 PM

I've heard loads of rumors but I've never seen cold hard proof

As far as i'm concerned until the day i see it its all bull****

If you want you can pay me £46 a month and you will get Sky for free! Yes-totally free! An absolute bargain for £46!(all channels-not HD ones)
