Is this the End or The End is Nigh

[firestorm]

There is a bit of English out there, but don't expect it.

Some channels carry the 2nd audio which is the language of the originator of the program you are watching although not for Premier League matches anymore.

There is loads of English movies, documentary ect ect and i get most ELP in english but not every time.Forget sky there is plenty of stuff you can get with 80cm - 1m motorized dish.Me and a few other guy on here gave d**kman(bobby) plenty for coming on here and bumping up his pay server/gift ready spiderbox.Has we new this would eventually kill our hobbie to which c/s should be.
IE you PAY for a subscription then you share it with some one else that PAYS for a subscription and every one is happy including the sat TV provider.
I personally hope all skybox pay server hosts get crabs.

Because you are putting money into there tv service that then allows them intern to buy program sporting events, ~~~~ film ,new movies instead of lining some third party's pocket. If we all paid pay server and did not buy at least one sub there would be NO sat tv because they would go bust.C/S has been going on for years as a hobbie with very little interference from the sat company's until pay servers came along with there greed and that is why this thread is here.
You can run your own C/S for a min of ?60 a year if you have the IQ to do so and the time to look around the internet.Plus your own C/S will be freeze free and you will have total control over it.

Firestorm pretty much summed it up in the above post, If you cant see the difference between paying a legitimate sub and sharing this with someone in another country for there legitimate sub where no money changes hands that is in essence how the two words card and sharing came about as a hobby.

And then the other side where Joe Bloggs sat in his house no job and has 4 DM500's setup that keep churning out pound notes every month with his so called 'Gift' adverts on a popular auction site with 100's of idiots Buying them cause its a bargain (dont make me laugh), Thats the kind of cretin thats ruined it for the Hobbyist

Dont get me wrong both sides of this are wrong but one 100 times more so than the other.

no digicon both are 100% wrong you can't justify it because your only stealing a little bit but not as much as the payserver i don't believe these measures are just to stop payservers, they are being implemented to stop everyone they are protecting there business from payservers, and thousands if not tens of thousands of people who are buying 1 sub and sharing with god knows how many people, from the providers point of view whats the difference

I recall burning a psx game with cdrwin, I.E Res Evil, onto a gold 600mb cd @ 1x. Armed with your 8 pin 12c508 OTP chip you just programmed with a pic chip programmer you had spent all night or day building yourself (Which you purchased through Nochex) or at least assembled it by yourself and even then most of chip settings were through trial and error.

What was it..........? Timer - Guard dog- Rest on/off?

I recall all this was all at one time one of my closely guarded secrets and then someone said "My mate can copy cds now"

Thats when I recall the hobbyist scene going down the swanny.


Then out of the blue came the Jerrold CFT 2100-550xs with the PIC16F breadboard chips and then the messiah of codes came, the 12c509 auto hex which kept your channels in order.........

But you had to run TCINIT in Dos first to reset the box to ch 02....

Then someone said "My mate has a friend whos uncles doing them boxes for ?80"

And thats another time I recall the hobbyist scene going down the swanny........

Anyone remember the Baby J cubes? Philips Diga and C-12?

Ahhh those were the days............

Gone......FOREVER

I think Digicon was saying that when you share with people in another country, they are not allowed to make a legal subscription anyway as they are not in the same country as you, so they are not in effect stealing or denying the tv company any monies as they cannot subscribe as the tv company wont allow them to, so by sharing a card in exchange for a card from another country (to which you can't subscribe anyway) is totally 100% different to servers who provide cheap tv to people where those same people could legally subscribe. That's the difference.

Cheap TV it is and I for one am not crying for what I paid for and have saved in return. Also the luxury of watching when I want and What I want..

Great days ahead I hope.
