UPDATE
Boxer26
I am receiving many complaints and geetting abuse about disconnections. Many say they should have been warned. This was not possible. I only learned about the time expiration two days ago and had no time to tell anyone because I had personal issues to take care of. There was and is nothing I can do. There is a maximum time in the software that a batch of registrations can be active.
Only boxes which were activated more than a year ago have been disconnected. Any claims about newer boxes being disconnected are not true. If you have a box 10 months and it has been disconnected, then you were sold a box that was activated before you bought it.
Users have had sufficient time to learn to use the other features of the receiver. The initial gift was to let you see channels while you learned this.

I wonder if the boxes disconnected are all the same Box No. I wonder if its possible to go into the software and change the Box Key they would work again . Same thing happened in the Protec boxes. and some bright person found out how to change the box key.. Protec went mad saying it was Piracy Thats rich !!!!

Update again..

I have tried my utmost over the last few years to keep etherner service for as many spiderbox owners as possible.
It was hard work, and apart from a few reasonable people whose support is much appreciated, and you know who you are (Thank you) I have received nothing but complaints and abuse whenever anything goes wrong,
OK some of you lost ethernet service after a year or two.. well that's tough. You were never supposed to have more than 12 months anyway.
Then I'm told I acted with lack of courtesy by not informing the users whose boxes were going to expire.. tough again.Other users take note:
I WILL TAKE NO MORE STEPS TO PROLONG THE SERVICE FOR ANYONE.
STARTING ONE MONTH FROM NOW, MORE BOXES WILL BE DISCONNECTED MONTH BY MONTH UNTIL NOBODY RECEIVES MORE THAN 12 MONTHS FREE SERVICE.

I think there is a moral to this story somewhere:moneygrubber:

how come with mine its working with server and ethernet ??
How olds your box carmine?

Mine is To! I think they have cut everyone off with a Certain Model No Box Key. So Its a matter of time to cut off the next load of boxes. The Spiderbox team seem to have shot themselfs in the Foot to cut the boxes off just before Xmas. It means all the people who were going to buy the box will think again.. Or they think all the people who have had the gift stopped will run out and pay £200 for another box. Do the Spider Team realise there is a Recession On.

your right mate !! @ Glen stated in post earlier have had mine for 15 months

You get nothing for free these days unfortunately. I'm guessing it won't be long before these boxes are on ebay going for a few quid. People don't forget things quickly so i would say sales of the Spider boxes are going to start declining rather quickly once people realise whats happening.
Its the begining of the end if you ask me. The only saving grace is that at least you can use it as a CCCam client box once the free gift runs out.
