whats the chance of being caught if you use a hacked cable box to view free channels?

If its was done properly ie the talkback was done etc and you don't let the CC into see it working in your house or tell everyone you have it lol you should be ok.
Its highly unlikely that they will check down at the green cabinet on the signals etc because even thats not 100% reliable.

You will be fine as long as you:
1) Dont mess with your subscribed equipment
2) Cut the talkback on your modded box
3) Dont invite them round for tea and biscuits
4) Dont ring up their "customer service" (lol) line and complain when they roll the keys

Be very careful where you by the box you wish to mod they have the eye on a site we love for bargains so try the boot sale.
And as the man said keep it stum for your own sake.

Here in the UK you can get those signs and stickers for your door which say No Uninvited callers so i belive that if they dont say they are actually coming round and you have a sticker/sign then they cant actually knock? i dont know how much power certain companies have to over throw the laws maybe they do...

Firstly, they will never come round!

Also I disagree with your comment, your subscribed box talks back to the cable company, so if its is never connected it will never talk back! You should get a second box as I mentioned in an earlier post, and keep the subscribed box connected in a different room.

I agree with edcase your subscribed box should stay connected so it continues to talk back if not that might be an invitation for them to come knocking on your door LOL.

Ntl or Telewest cannot see a connected dbox2, unless you invite them in lol

Has anyone ever had them come round or ever heard of it?
I wouldn't chance it but I wonder if they would knock even if you didn't cut talkback.

Don't D-boxs pick up VOD channels?

neilmajithia
19-06-2006, 12:17 PM
i have no idea if they do or dont but i thaught just by the nature of vod needing some kind of talkback or contact with the cable company that it would not work with hacked cable boxes, i may be wrong though

They will apparently currently pick up the vod channels that someone in the local area has purchased, if you were to carry out a scan while the film was playing. This does however mean that if they were to pause their film that yours would also pause etc...

I have been told that the vod adult channels are always there in the stream so these should be accessible. Please bear in mind that I have never owned a Dbox, so I am simply passing on second hand information.

Dont touch the box they give you mate!
Get another box from elsewhere, either a dbox or a normal TW box.
