After disconnecting the phone line and getting box office movies,
would a
full system reset erase any box office info? Doing a reset (through
hidden
menu) erases all my settings and recordings on my Sky+ box, so I wonder if
it
will erase the pay-per-view info as well?
I might give it a try.

office
movies ?
From
what I've read, this code temp. disables the dial-up authentication system,
so
you can watch pay-per-view events, movies, porn etc.
HOWEVER, once you hit the £50 limit this will stop working. At some
point (poss. when the box is rebooted), the box will dial home, tell Mr.
Murdoch what you've watched and that £50 will be on your next bill. The
effect
is exactly this same if you disconnect the box from the
phoneline.
All
you will have done is delay the bill by a few day/weeks/months, for about
£9
looking at Ebay.
If
you look hard on the net, you'll find the code for yourself. Funny but
hardly
much point...
Sky take
their
systems VERY seriously, they would rather spend millions protecting them,
than
lose millions to a bunch of hackers. Unlike, say, OnDigital/ITV Digital who
picked a already broken system to protect their
revenues.

Sky cannot and
will
probably not be cracked – so don’t even waste your money. You’ll have to cough up for a
subscription like the rest of us J
If you unplug your
phone it will give you free box office movies be
warned u’ll eventually get caught though
cos u’ll have to plug
it in
sometime!
This guy reckons he can give
you
a code to type that gives free box office movies. Someone tell me this is a
scam before I go wasting money....
