    Default Getting caught with a Dreambox?

    if someone who has a dreambox sharing a card from a friend's server gets caught by you know who, what sort of trouble would he get himself into?

    Bugger knows what he means, but how in hell could you get caught, i am not sure what they could do to you as they would have to have proof that you are connected to a CS server ?? and not watching from a prerecorded hard drive lol. but i think they could jump on the other end hard ??

    seriously, u need to make sure there is plenty of security for your system.
    search here or the www for security measures to minimize your exposure of being caught.
    But if u do get caught it will b just a slap on the hand

    On what grounds could they enter your house anyway, especially if you do not have a registered foxtel service? I don't think the cops will come knocking for that.

    well I live in a housing commission building, my next door neighbour rang F****L, and asked if he could get it connected, it looks like they told him no and he would need permission from the housing first, so he must have told them but my next neighbour already has it, and apparently they looked and searched and found that no one in this building is getting billed by them or O***S, and they said to him that I must be stealing it somehow, and when my neighbour was asking me about it, and telling me what had happened, I asked him if he had told them about me that I already have, then he denied that he had mentioned me at all, but anyway it's obvious that he did tell them about me and now I am a bit worried if they could somehow manage to get my ass.

    You don't get billed with Select TV?
    Because apparently they checked with everyone and none showed that any one was getting billed in this building for pay TV.

    Of course you do but there is no law to say you can't set up a dish on your balcony and receive it.

    hypothetically speaking if they do get a warrant and come knocking on the door, would restoring the dreambox to factory settings get rid off all settings that it won't be traced to the server?
    and if they do get a warrant and come in to find it there, what sort of fine would I be looking at?

    just pack it up for a bit to be on the safe side
    its a grey area that they seem to keep away from as it has lots of legal loopholes
    and as if foxtel would ring austar, select, ubi,pink,globecast,jade and not to mention every christian dish installer in your area phffffff
    your mate next door has a big mouth as well and there,s nothing like a good slap to the head to fix that

    there is no way a judge would grant them a warrant.
    hear say is not enough.
    They would need to build a case against you, on a hear say bases, i don't think so.
    No, just tell your housemates/family not 2 let anyone in.
    And yes, if they do knock on the door a factory reset is enough and then pull the power.

    maybe there is a lawyer amongst us who can shed some light on it

    foxtel send "sales people" to your door and when they confirm that they have heard foxtel inside the house, then santa pays you a visit with a search warrant, so telling the kids and missus to not let anyone in is a joke.

    you very funny guy

    Just do multibox, card sharing is crap
    What a lot of shit

    I have had foxtel sales reps come around and they didn't say anything.
    I get over 1500 channels via 30 odd satelites.

    That really was a dumb statement
