Card Sharing

[Antono1]

Vu+ Ultimo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> better than any sky+ Hd box or anyother box for that matter.

[Illusion]

Anyone with Sky broadband doing this? Looking to do it when I get Internet in the new yard this week, but I'm getting sky broadband and was thinking they might be snooping for card sharing activities

[Kurtis]

im on sky

not sure how they can snoop on it tbh, pretty sure theres laws against that aswell

[SLEAZE BALL]

Dave I know its prob in here already but my eyes are burning from the gail topic

how much are these boxes fully loaded?

my boy screamed someone said 2 bills suttin for a year

im screamin thats extortion i would rather pay sky the money

A box can be from £60 to £300.

You also need a card sharing server which can cost up to £20 a month. But can be cheaper if you get a good deal.

my boy screamed someone said 2 bills suttin for a year

im screamin thats extortion i would rather pay sky the money

mine cost 430 a year ago but its down to 289 now

server is £10p/m

if you do the maths

sky world (all channels + sports + movies + 3D) is 65.75 per month which = 789pa

10*12 = 120 + 430 = 530

so over the minimum period Im still saving over 2 bills on last years prices.

if you get my box at today's price

10*12 = 120 + 289 = 409. damn near half price.

and thats a top end box, you can get some for around £60, but they wont be good, so id suggest something around 120-200, seems like big money upfront cause sky give it to you for free, but thats the whole point of paying monthly, it makes it seem like its not that much, but it adds up trust me.

i hear man screaming sky go, but i can stream every channel, not just some, from my box to my tablet over wifi and im researching doing it over the internet atm, can also play my recordings

EDIT

just been on the sky site again, and actually if you equate things, the box aint free, mine cost 430 because i had them fit a 1TB hard drive, the same from sky costs £149

so thats even more savings, only other costs i can think of are the dish setup if you aint already got one

[Kurtis]

until i get a second tv, its this in the bedroom

[Black.]

your better off paying a bit more and getting a good box

i got the Vu+ Uno

the cross epg >

the plugins >

the skins >

HD swap >

box office events >

All channels + Setanta 3pm games >

£10 a month

got it from that world of sattelites place too... with Vix installed.... need to take it to them to fit the HD cant be assed to do it myself and its in enfield

How much did that cost you

A 'backdoor businessman' sold dodgy TV subscriptions worth £1million pounds and broadcast the signal from a massive dish in his back garden, a court heard today.

Steven Kaye, 37, claimed to be running a global network with bases around the world but was actually running an illegal operation from a spare room at his £330,000 home

He transmitted channels such as Sky Sports and Sky Movies around the UK using a trampoline-sized dish that was balanced on his garden shed in Chandler’s Ford, Hants.

Backdoor business: Steven Kaye, pictured left smiling on his way to Southampton Crown Court, used a trampoline-sized satellite balanced on his garden shed to illegal transmit subscriptions to Sky

Home sweet home: Kaye ran the illegal operation and transmitted the channels from his £330,000 home in Chandler's Ford, Hants, above

Southampton Crown Court heard the dish was so big it could even be seen poking over the top of his house on Google street view.

• ‘Menace of Mayfair ‘ who duped company directors and hedge fund managers out of jewellery is locked up for the third time
  
• Bungling thief uses getaway HORSE to steal florist's cart... but only manages to get a few yards before he's caught
  

Kaye bought a legitimate personal subscription for Sky and ESPN and used a computer to decode the signal before relaying it to customers.

He charged just £50 for a three month subscription and sold receiver boxes that could be plugged into an existing satellite dish.

Business partner: Nicholas Pulsford, 43, ran the TV scheme with Kaye

The packages would usually cost around £65.50 per month if bought legitimately.

But the boxes Kaye supplied were found to be cloned 'sub-standard' devices he had imported from a contact in China.

Many of them were returned by frustrated customers, who were unable to get them to work, the court heard.

Prosecutor James Kellam described Kaye and his business partner Nicholas Pulsford, 43, as 'backdoor entrepreneurs'.

When the pair were caught in April 2010 they had just under 1,000 people signed up to their enterprise, which had been running for about two years.

Mr Kellam estimated Sky would have earned around £1 million if all these customers had received their television signal legitimately.

The pair were busted when Sky investigators stumbled across the company’s suspicious deals and passed their details to police.

Kaye and Pulsford, a father of two, from Hornchurch, Essex, admitted possessing an unauthorised decoder.

Their defence told the court that neither earned more than £10,000 from the operation due to its lack of sophistication and number of returns.

Despite living in a leafy Hampshire suburb, Kaye was described as struggling with debt totalling £100,000.

Leah Dillon, defending, said: 'He has a house with no equity and has three children to pay for.

'He is not living the lifestyle of the rich.'

Pulsford was described by his barrister as a failed businessman, who had bought a house beyond his means with his first wife who he has since divorced.

Judge Gary Burrell QC jailed the pair for six months, suspended for two years.

He also ordered them to complete 250 hours of community service and to pay £1,125 each in costs.

Judge Burrell said: 'Selling equipment to bypass services that the rest of us have to pay for is in my judgement a very serious offence.'

The fact they were selling substandard equipment could be seen as an aggravating feature of the case, he added.

Detective Constable Mark Southey, from Hampshire Constabulary, said: 'I hope this case serves as a deterrent for those who think they can by-pass legitimate ways of receiving goods and services.

'It should also serve as a warning to those who buy such equipment that they will have little or no redress if and when it goes wrong.'

have they even got their facts right?

[Kurtis]

sounds sick

you could probably jus get a Raspberry Pi for £30 and put XBMC on that still

just looking into this now, Raspbmc

do you know anything about how it works?

will i be able to stream my TV channels onto it? which is pretty much all i wanna do, thinking about it i aint really looking to spend 3+ bills on a PC for my bedroom when i already have 3 and a laptop

im hearing you need licences and sh*t to encode certain formats

waiting times are a bitch aswell, unless i can get it on ebay for a bump

edit, licence is £2.40, dunno why i thought it'd be like £30 or something

[dub]

nah sorry, i just know that its a mini linux computer

/

I have my Sky aerial in place but need to move it to another room. How much would it cost to get someone to wire it to the new place + drill a hole through the wall?

+ anyone know someone in North London that will do it?

whenever i need a DIY job done i place the job on there

to put my TV on the wall i used the phone book and was quoted 130+

got a guy on there that did it for 50 and even put up 2 canvas prints on my wall after

[dub]

looks like it'll cost more than Sky engineers from them guys

[Kurtis]

best to go with them then

im looking to get a motorised dish still

heard good things about this

[Kurtis]

GiGaBlue QUAD Linux Enigma 2 HD PVR Satellite Receiver 2x DVB-S/S2 + 2x Plug & Play Tuner Slots

enigma 2, 4 tuners (2 when bought you can add 2 more when they release the DVB/S2 tuners sometime next year), gonna have support from all the major firmware groups

ill give it a few months and see how it goes before i decide if i wanna cop one

out Tuesday/Wednesday for 339, which i think is a f*ckin sweet price

UI looks good too, hopefully the firmware teams dont mess it up too much

[Kurtis]

anyone got a good server?

bare im trying are freezing and have high ECM times

[dub]

Do any of these boxes support iPlayer, 4OD, etc?

Sky+ just got iPlayer support.

[Kurtis]

those apps will need to be written by the providers, theyre not open source so people cant just write them for different platforms

theres different talk on different forums for different platforms, but so far nothing

[Kurtis]

this looks like it'd be epic, exactly what i want, but i need to see what kinda firmware support it gets, and im not even sure it supports mgcamd/cccam

was holding out to get the VU+ Duo 2 when its out, but looks like this will be out at the same damn time

[Sinister]

Durrty, what box you running now?

 

Thinking of upgrading.
