    Attention Be careful anyone with free tv (you know what i mean)

    Had SLY around our area today asking about set top boxes, knocked at every door on our street and when I went out, there was a guy with some equipment asking if we were with sky, when I said yes he asked me if it was one of the new boxes which I told them it was.

    this guy was not the usual salesman trying to flog subs and with him asking about my setup I thought I would let everyone know. it seems they are going around door to door asking about sky.

    bit weird but just in case keep an eye out.

    As said they have no authority to enter your premises. But being very defensive will get his suspicions up. It`s a fine line to get it right so he goes away and forgets about you, rather than passing it onto others. Best be nice and if he says can he have a look inside give him some plausible reason why.

    1. sorry my daughter is feeding the baby and got her tits out
    2. I am not the owner of the house baby sitting his Doberman
    3. I am late for work and I am just going out now
    4. I have a large group of Jehovahs witnesses in and were going to do a sing praises to the lord

    You get my drift

    I have a sky dish which i use purely for freesat. There is no way they would get a warrant to enter a property if they suspect you of using a dodgy box. Maybe if you are selling them.and sharing

    Did you not ask to see some ID? First thing I would have done before I answered anything he asked tbh. I know it doesn't mean much but it could have indicated what department of the company he works for.

    I very much doubt Sky are massively interested in catching a guy with an illegitimate sky box. It's those that sell the Clines that lose them the most money.

    Sky after all are a business and like every business they protect their investments and some people out there are making a shite load of dosh on peoples backs and no guarantees on the length of viewing.

    Its a time bomb and soon its going to go off with a bang and quite a few people are in for a shock.

    if you are on about the new card pairing m8, a way around this has already been found. its not as secure and reliable as it is now though

    There is no magic workaround... The way around it at the moment is to pair the card to older boxes...

    they do have a way around the new pairing method which I will not go into here, it wont work with older boxes and will need a brand new skybox (F7s anyone)

    What you need to do with the new cardsharing method is to Shoehorn Linux on to it, then you'll be able to run it up the flagpole and push the button on that

    Where did you see that? I hadn't seen anything on the likes of Streamboard. Why would it need a skybox, can it not be emulated through anything running linux?
