Yes if your satalitte, you get all sky channels you would need to either subscribe to a cardshare service (plenty of website looking to sell such services) or setup your own and sell to your frineds.
However, if your cable provider such as (N*TL, V*irgin, EX*CW) in UK I have no problem in sending you my backup image which includes the decryption keys and after you have flashed my image to your box, you would just tell it to scan your provider and then rebot the box. Hey presto, all channel your provider broadcast you can now watch undectible and more importantly FREE.
Note: This can off course work if you have a cable feed comming into the house, even if your not paying anything to the provider anymore. As they rarely terminate the feed from the box outsdie the house. If you do decide to get one of these and using cable, then I would recommend you get your services turned down to the minimum TV package so at least your paying them somthing. If we all stopped paying them, the privders wouldnt be around anymore then we all out of TV![]()
