Don't know whether it's possible or not, but the fact that it warns you that defrauding Sky is illegal, makes me want to stay away!

Don't bother - guy at work did it....took Sky about 5 minutes to pull it!!

Anything on Ebay that is too good to be true...is TOO good to be true!!

This doesn't work. You will be told to unplug your Sky box from the phone socket. Sky give you £50 credit for box office events in the event of the phone lines going down, so you can still order their services.

Whatever you order will be stored on your box and as soon as you plug it into the phone socket again you will be charged. I suppose you could use up your £50 of credit and then change your box but I dont think its worth it.

It does work but only for at most £50 worth of PPV. Then you can never use PPV again without paying for everything you have already used.

ps I have never done this myself just read about it on a another forum :)

well if you unplug it from the socket your breaking your contract with sky and so if your still in the first 12 months of your contract they are entitled to withhold everything and still take your money... personally I wouldnt risk it, why bother? if the programs are so important to you to watch, then pay for it :P

if its movies your after then just get them on DVD, or rent them and copy them or something... why risk your sky contract?

ive seen those instructions before, never tried it myself cos as people have said, you can never plug your sky back into the phone socket or you get charged for it all...........if your not in your first 12 months contract you CAN unplug sky when ever you want, its not illegal :P i had to keep unplugging mine to connect my dial up modem, im on broadband now and have all 3 connected at once

nah its not, mi mate works 4 sky and he was the one who told me about the ways to get free sky ppv. Sky have no control if u have your boz plugged into your phonline. How do they know?....that is the only way sky can be able to trace your moves with the phon line.

There is no way to get unlimited free PPV - as mentioned you can get approx £50 worth before you will be contacted by Sky and asked to cough up. If you keep it under £50, you cant order any more PPV.

Doesnt matter how many ways there are, they all end with either Sky catching up with you, or you not ordering any more films etc, unless you venture into the realms of chipping boxes or fitting scramblers.

P.S. Sky do not require that you have a phone line installed, only for the first 12 months of your contract is this true.
