Would it be posible to take the second box to a different address and watch it there?

cable man · 03-08-10, 02:46 PM

yes you can do it, if the other place is in the same net id as you house..

TheCoder · 03-08-10, 10:20 PM

This question has been asked quite a few times before and mostly the answer is that its not advised !

Although VM dont seem to care too much at this particular time they can tell if the box isn't on the same UBR line (ie, within 20-50 houses) so if they ever do decide to start looking then they will know pretty quick thay your pulling a fast one !

If VM do start sniffing, the person commiting the crime will surely do the time

lol.

Surely you mean persons?

Both the customer who allows his multiroom box to be used elsewhere and the person using the box without the correct (or any) subscription.

whats the chances of getting caught if its next door?

Nowt will happen as TheCoder says they can only tell if its more than 20-50 houses away but next door should be ok, They will only look if they are suspicious of your activity or if 1 of your mates tell on you..

its not advised, but if you do it, !! dont tell any1 and keep it 2 yourself!!

...and hope that your next door neighbour doesn't run up a big bill of PPV.

Av_Dave · 06-08-10, 10:14 PM

would they still be aware of the box at a different location if tb was cut?

Thanks

they know where any box is to it`s nod (the green cab) they know what channels you have watched etc

so if lets say place a phone up and say have a issule about channels and then then look at the boxes, it may flag up that box 1 is at cab a and box 2 is cab 14, be carefull that it, as my spare box is at my gf`s 2 miles away and no issules for 5 months
