Sky dishes point 28.2 east, you can only receive what is in that footprint regardless of the box you use if you use a sky dish http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html . Gonna nee a motorised dish to get all those free ones.
There are rumours of videoguard (what sky use) being hacked/circumnavigated. But if it as been the hackers are keeping it close to their chest. Not easy to find anyone selling 'em.
edit: just seen Spencer's last post. Interesting....!

Really? Never heard of anything that would decode Sky using just codes, it's an incredibly secure system
Not so secure if you work for them.......and the wages aint great. |

Motorised dish for 10,000 European wide channels. Most definitely. Not possible on a Sky dish you would have to be outside with a satmeter and manually move the dish to each sat on the arc. Good chance also that the mini dish would be too small for a lot of the other sats eg 1W Videoguard been hacked? Wouldn't believe it unless I saw it @Leefer are you saying that the installers know a way round the encryption? |

I'm with leefer, I'd be more surprised if it hasn't been done. In fact, I'm genuinely surprised it isn't already widely done

They've been doing that for years with cable. Sky is a totally different kettle of fish, though they have been known to hack other broadcasters pay tv systems aka Chris Tarnovsky http://www.aaafta.com/forum/general-fta-news/14219-chris-tarnovsky-others-front-grand-jury.html |

If it is, it's very, very quiet and with good reason |

Forgive my ignorance stfcinbmth but what makes sky's encryption so much harder to pirate?

Football was invented way before Sky came on the scene and some might say those days were better too. Who remembers the weekly like football on a Sunday afternoon on BBC/ITV?
As a consumer we should have a choice but we dont, its Sky or nothing. Even if you have Virgin Media you still have to get Sky Sports so its a monopoly by Sky.
Worse still is as a consumer you dont even get a choice in the match they Broadcast over here! On Wednesday Sky was showing Fulham V Newcastle for the British market while also broadcasting Liverpool V Stoke for a Chinease sports channel. Why was this game not available to British subscribers?

Skys encryption hasn't been hacked, but there is something called cardsharing that allows people to set up a server with their sky card in, and other people can then connect to it over the internet and decode the channels with a linux based satellite box and a dish
