Having to pay a fortune to have Sky digital, where everyone with cable (in the uk) gets a nice crak or hak to defeat the encription, started me thinking..... surely, someone can defeat Sky Digital ?

I understand you can buy a small box, thats goes in the back of the reciever, which gives you access to ALL the channels.

My neighbour has one I'll ask him about it.

I think ill add one word of caution, read this:

I know there were devices that did similar things with the sky digibox and later turned out to be cons. Basically a device simulated a phone line was conected to the digibox. You could order as many box office programs you wanted and as the digibox couldnt contact sky, you werent charged. The problem was the orders were stored on a "send later" list on your card. When you reached a credit limit your box refused to funtion tilll you connected it back to a real line and got a nasty bill. So I would be very weary of these devices even if they appear to work at first.
