I believe the phrase is "pigs will fly" before dear old Roops
allows the
soap-dodging techie fraternity any kind of access to his pay-TV service. As
soon as there is any sort of PC based Sky Digital receiving device
available
his service will get hacked to buggery - whilst it is kept a closed system
then he has far more chance of keeping it un-hacked.
