Thanks!

[Mr Morse]

A big thanks to Matt Cook for setting up my new box of tricks! :D

Over 300 channels of mostly mindless pap for Mrs M to veg out to

Another fine example of LOC members helping each other out. I did treat Matt to a ride in BB....... :winky:

[MrADeveci]

Cooooooooooool so you got it installed after all ! :D

[MartinC]

Is this the D box you were talking about before??

I searched on fleabay after you first said about them, they seem to go for quite a bit, the you see listings for another kind of box that says its superior, all gets a bit :duh:

[Mr Morse]

Martin - expect to pay £100 - £120 for a good Nokia Dbox2 model (don't look at the other brands) that works properly, the display is error free, comes with a fully functional remote and is correctly packaged. Judge the seller by their % positive feedback.

[waddy]

Not only that - if you pay £120 for one it has paid for itself after 3 months anyway. I pay £43 a month for Sky now.

No bloody NTL in my area or I would go for a DBox too.

[lexus boy]

i am stuck with sky, could do with a chipped one at 43 smackers, infact i may pay more it hurts just for tv. which i dont get much else for..lol

[SHAHZ]

Those with the 'Dboxes' have you still got the basic package?? or did you not bother

[Mr Morse]

No.....you get all +/- 350 channels thru the Dbox

[Parthiban]

How does this work exactly? I'm currently a telewest subscriber, is it just a question of hooking up the cable into one of these new boxes?

[SHAHZ]

I know, but i was thinking more along the lines of them knowing a signal is being received but no subscription at that particular address.....so i take it your not an 'official' customer mike

The signal containing the scrambled data is pumped down the cable, come what may. All the Dbox does is to act as a pseudo decoder card and the service provider cannot tell whether or not the signal is being decded.

Mate had one of these i think well had all chnnels and paying for the basic 15 quid a month, had it for a year or so but some how they found out and clobbered him for it luckily he got away with just subscribing for another year on the full deal think about 50-60 quid a month :duh:

I was thinking about getting one whats the worst they can do if they catch you??????

[Mr Morse]

They could, in theory prosecute for "Obtaining services by deception" or somwthing similar........but like I said, they have no way of knowing if a signal is being decoded (without getting silly on the electronics), so the only way they'll know is if you open the door to one of them (and their field engineers are all selling the Dbox as a sideline anyway) or if someone dobs you
