dreambox ?

   not sure, the guys only got a contact by mobile number, must be taking a chance as it would be fairly easy to get caught out

  i would have thought.

And what is he going to do with the pay as you go phone when your sky gets cut off after 3 weeks?
a. Say hes really sorry, and of course he will send you a full refund.
b. Throw it in the Clyde.

thats the chance you take i suppose, it does say money back guarantee but that is useless if youve only got a mobile number to go

after.

Avoid like the plague. This illegal card sharing scheme normally costs £60 a year. So he's basically charging £180 for 3 years and £70 for the box. I'm amazed he's advertising in a paper!

You will get sky, but if he's arrested (likely seeing how brazen he is), if Sky manage to close the card sharing loophole or anything else happens to him, it will go off and you can kiss goodbye to your money.

I don't pay for sky any more. I registered my PC to my dads sky account. So I fire up Sky go on the TV. Great picture, all the premium channels and there's no way they can switch it off.

thanks for that TREBLE, was never going to go as far as getting it installed, i was just curious as to how it all worked.

hes going to have to be very careful how he operates as SKY will have seen the advert and be on his case.

You also rely on his and yours internet connection. If either connection goes down at all, even for 10 minutes, the system won't be able to authorise the card and every channel will be scrambled until the connection is restored.

Is it similar to the chipped NTL/virgin boxes you used to be able to get on the sly? They were a pain in the arse, sometimes they'd last six months and other times it'd be two weeks.

A mate of mine got a chipped Sky box recently and that went within a week. Sky won't allow anything that loses them revenue to go on for long.

£80 a year I pay, if it goes off I phone the guy he comes round and sorts it. only gone off once in 3 years Happy
Report GLASGOWCALLING January 20, 2015 12:23 PM GMT
ALLEGED, thats sounds ok, if you are paying £80 a year, this guy wants a " one off payment " of £249....which

  would sting a bit if it all goes belly up.
