*UPDATE* Outcome of cable TV descrambler purchase

Few days ago there was a thread about this cable TV descrambler that let you view pay-per-view movies practically for free, and someone included a link to the eBay auction that was selling this.

Well.. I got the little thing yesterday, and as expected it doesn't work. LOL. Funny enough, eBay emailed me to let me know that auction was canceled because it didn't follow guidelines for proper auction format.

Oh well.. At least it was only $20. 🙂
 
I'd say I have very little chance of getting in touch with the guy. He sent the thing out from a PO Box.

that's what you get for trying to get something for free
 
[Nelson] Ha Ha. [/Nelson] 😀

The sad thing is you can probably resell it to some other idjut... and probably make a profit in the process!

Well, he can either just consider the $20 expendable or he can keep kicking himself in the ass for making a stupid purchase. 😉 I would just get over it and say the 20 was expendable.
 
How come nobody is all over him saying he's doing something illegal (and he got what he deserved) ? ATOT is slacking.
 
down4u, you should buy an expensive working one, and send it to my house first, ill test it for ya, and if it doesnt work, ill send it to you, if it works, consider it expendable
 
Is this a good descrambler? I have no idea what is good and what isn't 😱

BTW, I have no idea if linking to ebay sites (with descramblers) is bad. sorry if it is. 🙁

I'm not a big fan of buying things when there are typos on the page....

shut up
Fvck you don't tell other people to shut up. "Be quiet" is nicer. And I don't get it... if I post something about writing to DirecTV HU cards, people would tell me not to talk about it on this forum, no ?

I see ads of cable box decramblers on AT. Why would they lock a thread related to that?

Not asking for a lock. This sort of thing is technically allowed, but the idea behind it is not. I've seen ATOTers jump on people for "illegal" activities such as downloading mp3s of songs that they didn't own. I personally couldn't care less about all this... just wondering if I missed the memo that said AT has loosened the vice.

The ATOTers who jump on people for downloading mp3s should probably realize that they are doing absolutely nothing to curb it from happening. It's not like some dude is suddenly going to come to the realization that downloading mp3s is bad because a self-righteous twat on AT said so.

[rant] I personally couldn't care less what some idiot on this forum (or anywhere online for that matter) that I don't know cares about me or my actions, because everyone here, whether you realize it or not, is hypocritical in one way or another, whether be it online or in your everyday actions. Anyone who says they're not needs a reality check and to come back down to earth.

If you want a descrambler, get one. If you want mp3's, download them. If you want to jump off a bridge, please don't let me stop you. I couldn't care less. [/rant]

writing to DTV cards is considered hacking unless you work for the DTV company and doing it legally. Purchasing Cable boxes is not illegal in itself. It is how you use them that could get you in trouble.
