Anyone done this?

Seems a bit dodgy, looks like they are just streaming live sky but provided you have broadband and it doesn't get hammered I suppose it should all work.

On the subject of hookie Sky anyone that gets offered one of the new magic boxes that claims to imitate paying customer’s details so you get all your pay per view for free don't touch.  It's just a battery in a box that prevents Sky from dialling up to bill you.  You get the program for free but billed next time Sky connects up.

Some joker was offering them for a tonne last night.  Laughed him out of the pub.

it's illegal, right?

so i wouldnt be able to do it at uni, as they're pretty damn quick on booting filesharers off the network, as i recently discovered at a £25 reconnection charge to my cost.

Must be, if it gets hammered as well it would be piss slow.

I can watch footy in my room and I don't have an extra skybox or whatever they make you pay for.

My dad did it. I don't know how it works or whether it's legal or not. It's the same with videos - put them in downstairs and then it plays up here. Had it for about 6 or 7 years now.
