So I was in Stockport recently & I met a friend of a friend called Jake who said if you pay him £100 he would supply you with a Tivo or sky box with every single channel including box office for £100. Then after £12 months is up you must pay £5 every 3 month to some paypal address which keeps you connected. Of course I said theres still no point as I'm out cycling or coaching the local youth Hockey team & I hardly ever watch T.V. Maybe just the news sometimes.
I've never heard of this before apparently it's just a bit of code software which is flashed into the box. Obviously some criminal gang doing this will be making a lot of money and may risk facing prison. I was wondering if the people who agreed to take on a said flashed box were also breaking the law & could be open to prosecution?

It would likely be a civil case at best.

Not one worth pursuing an individual for. The big risk is the guy selling them.

So a hundred notes down, then a fiver every three months but you describe it as free. How's that then?
It is only pocket change for what you're getting. The pay per view is unlocked so that's free. You're saving massively.

Met police have said previously that "using set-top boxes that have been illegally modified to receive digital TV subscription channels for free is committing a serious criminal offence."
