HACKING SKY TV ?

HACKING SKY TV ?

HACKING SKY TV ? well why not! It seems that open season is on course with the big well known forums who have prominent position in the search engines to encourage hacking of freesat tv and it's metadata.
We are appalled at certain well known forums who are now openly debating and encouraging members to contemptuously flout our U.K. Laws with forum threads on hacking freesat.
Every responsible U.K. citizen knows that there are severe penalties for attempting or encouraging viewers to hack Sky satellite TV so why do these forums continue to break the U.K. law. We are talking about U.K. based websites so this makes it more ridiculous as any areas outside the U.K. are in grey areas with respect to the U.K. law.
Why are we bringing this subject to the fore ?
Millions upon millions of honest license fee payers who conscientiously pay there TV license fee either by standing order or full pay, including our senior citizens who have many who scrimp and save just to get ordinary TV are being taken for a ride by these U.K. Law breakers.
Viewers who pay for a license fee deserve and expect a reliance and integrity service where their TV subscription is being overseen by the best and trusted Worldwide corporation and can be sure that their fee is receiving the best possible return.
We should not forget the freesat BBC/ITV venture is there's, your's and our project also, so any monies being ploughed into freesat is yours.

HACKING FREESAT.

HACKING FREESAT.

HACKING FREESAT is the watch word for today.
Do you fancy a 10 year jail sentence ? This is possible for selling dodgy DVD's so you can imagine what sentence awaits for those foolish enough to circumvent a satellite receiver which has not been granted an official "Freesat License or Logo". It is only a matter of time before the freesat powers that be take action. There is no way TV licence fee payers who have funded the freesat venture will sit back and allow their monies not to return full dividends and those manufacturers who are at present trying to circumvent both ITV HD and the freesat metadata are jeopordizing the future success of the BBC/ITV venture.
New satellite enthusiasts and new viewers are in danger of being wrongly influanced by stories and possibilities of being able to enjoy the full benefits of freesat when in actual fact they will only be able to enjoy full freesat with an officially licensed and logo'd freesat set top box.
The obvious benifit of freesat set top boxes will be the ethernet connection and internet connection where freesat set top box owners will be able to go onto the internet and view the "On Demand" listing incorporated within the iPlayer/Kangaroo project in multimedia.
The possibility of using the freesat metadata on other boxes will fall short when it comes to using the multimedia configuration. In other words; only freesat set top boxes will be able to function with freesat multimedia interactive devices.
Can we say this yet again; only offical freesat boxes will provide full functionality for full freesat benefits for free tv and freesat metadata.

FREESAT FROM SATELLITE ?

FREESAT FROM SATELLITE ?

FREESAT FROM SATELLITE or 28.2 East is gradually taking hold or is it ?

Saturday proved a strange day for us as we conducted what we will call a straw poll with shoppers at our local Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys.
**********
We decided to ask only two freesat questions;
No1
Do you own a freesat set top box ?
No2
Would you buy a freesat set top box knowing afterwards there are no monthly fees ?
***********
The answers we received were wide and varied and covered everything except what our two questions were although we stuck to our guns for an answer.
Some thought we were selling stuff and/or wanting something from them.
Out of 400 different shoppers young and old only 10 had ever heard about the BBC/ITV joint venture.
We put this down to poor advertising.
Out of 400 different shoppers who suscribed to a satellite subscription service all were in favour of buying a freesat set top box. A few were unsure if it meant their sport was threatened but still liked the idea of free TV with no monthly fees.
What we learned;
Freesat future subscribers are looking for free TV and trying to tell future viewers all would be free many were openly scepticle and some stating they will only believe it when they see it.
Women liked the idea of being able to use existing dishes to connect the freesat box as it was free. Women hate paying for subscription TV and would cancel everything tomorrow whereas men will gladly pay for subscription TV as long as their subscription has some sort of sport in it.
One lady told us the only reason she has an existing satellite subscription is because the ordinary TV has little to watch and too few channels but since hearing about freesat she was going to cancel her subscription as this was all the excuse she needed. We argued she could still keep her subscription and have the best of both worlds but she pointed out the old chestnut, "you can only watch one channel at a time". Without any doubt whatsoever
women are more shrewdly aware than men as far as freesat is concerned.

FREESAT HD SET TOP BOX SHORTAGE.

FREESAT HD SET TOP BOX SHORTAGE again
as freesat boxes are in great demand.

We would like to point out that the Humax freesat box has NOT, repeat NOT been recalled.
Rumours abound because the retailers have again run short in some areas so please do not believe the malicious rumours, obviously spread about by those in envy of the Humax Foxsat demand in the high street and on the Internet.
The Humax is a top quality freesat set top box, which if you buy it will not regret it. Anyone buying ANY freesat box should be under no illusion that all boxes have underwent rigourous testing to make sure they met the standards requested by the BBC and ITV and all the rest of the shareholders.
All freesat boxes are top quality and it will be up to the individual taste which box will be bought for the individuals sitting room and it's also worth remembering with these freesat set top boxes ALL have "Set it and Forget it", features.
