Freeviews encryption is not hacked, so you cant watch the pay channels unless you subscribe. Quite why you would want to with the pi55 poor selection of pay channels is puzzling though!

you need to go read in the cable section.

Its a dtt box. Why do you think you will be able to use it for cable??

HINT:

You cant - you want free cable you get a cable box (and take the discussion into the cable section!)

Well to cover the so called cable channels. If you put the feed from the cables companies aerial connection which should go to a legal cable box and the TV you are trying to tune in will get at least 6 channels in the clear without a cable box (Im a service engineer)
