remember seeing a market in the isle of Wight with a stall offering to chip sky boxes , was there every time I went so at least a couple of months ,guess it worked,

They could chip Sky analogue boxes en masse, but i've read that hacking a Sky box only works for that particular box. As each box would have to be individually done, it's not feasible. I assume in the world of digital that it's the same fir Virgin.
I was offered 'free' Virgin recently, presumably it's now done via card sharing, but I'm not botherred for sports and I can get Sky Movies for £1 a month legitimately with Now TV, but these days they aren't even worth that!
It's not exactly free either as you have to pay a one off cost and the box may work for a year or maybe a day with no come back, so there's the financial implications as well as the moral and legal implications to consider.
