Bubble Cable Boxes Raided.

[Mr Pumpy]

If this is in the wrong section or not allowed the mods can move or delete it.

I would have thought quite a few people will have had dealings with this online retailer or at least heard of em.
Found out today that they were raided a few days ago and had their boxes taken with a value of ?45000. I don't know the details and don't know if its a general crack down or just summat specific to them.

Is something in the air???? Who knows????

If you follow a few simple rules then you will be ok.

Don't sell cable boxes with modified firmware or keys included.
Don't sell modified cable company boxes.

As long as you stick to FTA receivers, you will be ok. Let the customer do whatever they want with the box once they get it.

If you are greedy and don't follow these rules, you will get burned. Simple as....

If bubble cable were selling pre flashed boxes that is just stupidity and asking for trouble imo.

[wilf]

my purchases from them wern't pre flashed.

[Mr Pumpy]

I found out because a mate of mine should have had a Eurovox delivered from them today, it didn't turn up so he phoned em up. They told him about the raid but said all existing orders would be fulfilled.

Could be, you could tell he was sailing a bit close to the wind with the stuff he had on the website, hope he comes through it though.

Vermin wouldn't be putting such energy into raiding box traders , if the introduction of a new encryption was imminent , don't you think ?

[Mr Pumpy]

Well, funny you should say that because I heard today of a VM guy that they are gonna change em big style very shortly.
