My question is, are any of the chipped or dodgy cable boxes showing the Hatton fight tonight. My mates have a vast variety of dodgy boxes (like NTL and Virgin), but we aren't sure which one will show the fight, if any at all.

Can anyone please enlighten me?

Im toying with a eurovox but Virgin's picture is shoite compared to the crisp Sky picture.

But basically with the vox, you take it out the box and you plug in your Virgin TV feed and voila - every sport, movie, porn and PPV channel is available for nothing extra.

Every 6-9 months they will change around their encryption, but by the time they implement it, Eurovox have the software version ready to get your channels back on. At worse, you will be without all your free channels for 2-3 days until the patch comes out. You get a lead that plugs between your laptop and your box which, when connected to the net, automatically updates itself.

All the HD channels are received in full quality with no additional subscription required.

Recording of any shows is done via a USB connection at the rear. You can choose to use a 2gig memory stick and record 10 programmes, or you can invest in a 100gig device from PC world and record your brains out. There is no limit. You can even connect your PC up and record fight to that if you so desire.

As far as I know, the piece of equipment itself is legal but using it to get channels you haven't paid for is illegal.

Eh?!?

What principle could there possibly be to restrict you from buying PPV?

The principle that in life nothing is worth paying for, or something?

I feel the same as Dioufy. If you're paying for the channel/subscription, you should not have to pay for the program as well.

Autobarn, you condescending prat. That's all I have to say to you.

Carbo, I pay £44 a month for Sky. I will not pay an extra £15 to watch a fight, escpeically after the crap we get served up on FFN. And I feel I should be eligible for Hatton and Khan fights as I pay the £44 a month fee. So there's my principle.

A lot of people take this stance.

=Paying the same amount for a Khan PPV is a rip off. Compared to most of the PPVs this is great value.
Agree we have to pay £15 to see Kahn beat a very faded and out sized Berrera and only get two more fights on the whole bill it's a total rip off.

I wont mind paying the £15 for the Hatton fight as there is a lot more fights and both guys are really established should be a real top fight.

Yes they are illegal to use to receive channels, but not illegal to buy hence why there are some available on ebay etc. Probably best to talk about these things via IM than on an open forum?
