Is there any way to hack my old original sky box and install Linux enigma2 on it? Post Member Thread starter. Had to believe someone hasn't cracked this yet.
Sly find it very easy to communicate with there boxes, so any hack would be short lived as all updates of software to there boxes are broadcast using there satellite technology, so its better to use emulators boxes until sly decide to switch off cs. As far as I know the boxes only talk back to sky if a phone line is connected, my modem is not connected to a phone line. Theres also a way to trick the box into thinking it's connected to a phone line so you can use the box for free sat with no card.
Box software is able to upgrade via the lnb cable, thats how the firmware and card permissions are upgraded. The telephone line is only used to make sure that the box is at a certain address. I worked for sky and whenever upgraded sky packages it was all done through the signal and not the phone line. Then the brain-wave hits, let's never plug the unit into the phone line again and i will never be billed from Sky - Right?
Unconfirmed reports say Sky has already seen the future and the dark clouds will start to appear as you try to watch PPV stuff. Sky wins eventually by way of a TKO. It seems likely as has happened before on the Analogue satellite systems, Sky will quickly close the loophole perhaps by way of software download?
Scenario 1: Supposing a customer buys a second hand Digi-Box that has had it's credit used up whatever it may be , takes it home, rings Sky for a viewing card then plugs the box into his phone line, Does it then give Sky it's history list of outstanding Pay Per View programmes? Will the original owner of the Digi-Box pay in the end? Scenario 2: The customer eventually decides to plug the Digi-Box in after using up any free credit with his fiendish new device, when the bill arrives he rings Sky, "What's the deal billing me for stuff I've not seen?
Is it something to do with the second hand Digi-Box i purchased last week? Who pays for the services used? Were sure there are many more questions but whatever happens there may be some real fireworks with blame being passed in any number of directions.
Probably the best bet is to stand well back from the touch-paper and watch from the sidelines!! Have YOUR say on this article, interesting points will be added to the bottom of this page. Please Click here and send via email. It's just not worth facing a repair bill!!
This article was written to hopefully enlighten, we can not be held responsible for it's content or accuracy. They use a pirate card using the ATMEL 90S chip, every card is matched to its own box as the box has to be read connected to a pc so it wont work in other receivers.
Ramone Hi. Sky box turns itself off sometimes and changes channels. Hacking happens when someone finds code names and password s and then they can see from a camera in the tv into my room.
If anything has been hacked it will not be your sky q box it will be your router and any computer you have linked to it. If they got in via the computer because of a poor firewall they will still be there and changing the router password will not make a blind bit of differnce as they will have network acces via the computer.
If you don't know what hacked means what the hell are you doing working for sky? I am seriously thinking of leaving sky now. No not clicked on to anything and I do not have any computers connected to sky box which is an old box and not a q. Goody said "and then they can see from a camera in the tv into my room".
Goody Let me alleviate your fears, Sky boxes cannot be hacked, do you mean you think your BB router credentials has been hijacked perhaps? That someone knows your router password? If you are seeing channel changes without you doing anything, its more likely you have a Bluetooth active on a phone or similar device nearby the remote and it is interfering with the remote. Turn off the Bluetooth on the phone and it should stop.
As to the box switching to standby, all Sky boxes will go into passive standby if there is not channel changes for some hours, there is a banner that pops up on screen to tell you the box is going to do this, if you do not press any buttons the box will then go into standby. For the channel changes do you have anything sitting on top of the box as the channel change buttons are there and if being pressed then would change the channel.
The same as I said about the box going into active standby when there is no button presses by the remote after a few hours. About Sky Community Offers. Sign In. Turn on suggestions.
