PPV channels
 
Hey all,

Know this may sound like a really dumb question but does anybody know if
there is anyway of "cheating" your Sky Digital Minidish box so that you can
view PPV channels for free ie. PPV movies etc?

Thanks in advance

Disconnect the phone line and build up credit to your limit.
Then give the card to the dog to eat.

The card has a spend limit of £30 or something like that so you can order
PPV stuff up to that limit. As soon as it reaches the limit you can't order
anything else until the box has phoned home and you get billed.

So what you saying? I can watch £30 worth of PPV stuff and so long as phone
line is not connected to box, I will never get charged for the?
