T.V. hacking has gone Satelite now, Getting a Dreambox is a good option but you will need the following:
Equipment Dish & Box (Size of dish depends on area you want tv from)
Internet connection: Scrambled channels are decoded via a server connected to a legitimate bix & card
Someone that can supply you with the server info, normally a cheap fee is payable (Most satelite stores have a back room)
but if you look hard you can probably find people offering them for free on the net...
Your other option is the P2P stuff, great for sport, just download a couple of programs open the links on the p2p sites and connect your p.c. to your T.V. I am pretty sure I watch more Premiership Matches than anyone with a subscription service as different matches come from all over the world...
