Just my Ten Cents on this Hot Topic thread......
it wouldnt surprise me if someone in some dark corner of the world is trying to get round any issues like the ones discussed as we speak!....where there's a will there's a way as the say!
Secondly would this just open the door for people to Clone Cards....if i need a card in my machine....could my original card be copied.....could a fake card just sit there telling the box (SLY) what they need to know? Could i attach a 2nd device or STB to the SLY one and access it that way????
When i originally saw this thread i thought nothing of it as SLY asked me the same details 3months ago when i planned to upgrade to HD package.....after telling them i didnt want there box as it came with a 12 month contract, i paired my fathers old HD box with it and hey presto No 12 month Contract(which i presume covered there HD box) and HD running fine since! Not sure whether its related?
I also wonder whether a plan to attack this is worthwhile or not...SLY seem focused on giving all SLY customers BB.....free or at a cheap rate......even ring them to complain and they are quick to give you this Free of Charge or waiver any line rental or BB costs that existing customers may be getting charged for...unless thats me anyway? There push on this NOW tv service and Tv down your Internet line schemes seems like we are moving from the *** Dish sitting on you house! and fitters and the costs that entails to fit them for SLY???
I just wonder whether it will boil down to what costs more....current system and change it, only for it to exploited again....or total and utter change in the way it broadcasts to eradicate and keep control of what they do and who does what with it!
Either way Buckle up and Enjoy the Ride and stay tuned lol!
