If you can pick up any TV channel on satellite and it is encrypted you can watch it if you have a "pukka" viewing card.
If you can pick up any TV channel on satellite, from outside of the UK, and it is encrypted and if you have a "hacked" viewing card, you are committing a civil offence. ie: the operator of that channel could take you to court. This is very unlikely, it is easier for them to keep changing their encryption codes.
If you can pick up any TV channel on satellite, from inside of the UK, and it is encrypted and if you have a "hacked" viewing card, you are committing a criminal offence. ie: the operator of that channel could get the police to take action, and you could cop a very heavy fine.
I concur.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0
