Re: pirate boxes

i suppose if they wanted to ban pirate tv why go to the lenght of ****** earth, detector vans, extortionate costs all spirraling, if its that bad just ban the sale of boxes, and black market selling illegal. it will never happen.

i better buy more then so that when it happens, where selling is illegal, i would already have them. would owning them still be illegal? or just selling them?

Re: pirate boxes

dont really care if illegal or legal, ive never really been a boring good lad all my life, never will be,
all i personally want is some decent tv to watch, not really what they decide what we should see and have to pay for.

Re: pirate boxes

Even my Panasonic TV runs open source software as do Things like Humax PVR's it would only be a matter of time before 'our' hackers got one step ahead again. At least I hope so, most of us on here have had 'free' TV for years. Once we only had a couple of channels, now we have hundreds if not thousands. I actually wonder how many of 'us' there are, most folks seem unaware of what we have.

Of course! Forgot about a laptop there. I was thinking of a box that has wireless capabilities.

Hi happy camper euro means every device that connects via your lan and including you lan box or wifi will have a mac address, including your sat box. MAC meaning media access control.

Hi Happy Camper,

It does work, but can be quite frustrating to set up.

First thing you need is a crossover cable to connect Spider to laptop - you cannot use a normal ethernet cable.
