Dodgy boxes?

fairbox

I'm getting financially assaulted by Sky for multi-device TV packages. I know a guy in Cork city who flogs these boxes. I'd save a fortune.

Yea or Nae?

This thread will be nuked soon.

It’s been reported that there are 400k dodgy boxes in use in Ireland. Make of that as you will.

Not to going to comment on these boxes, but pricing is not the only problem with sky. The biggest complaints I've heard from everyone is the Stream box. My sister was without broadband and power (5 days ESB) (4 weeks eircom) after the storm start of the year. What use is a stream box in this situation.

Sky Q box wasn't perfect, but apart from the odd power outages and very extreme rain (temporary 5-10mins) it works perfectly 24/7.

I have a freesat box with DVR for the last 12 years. No ongoing cost after the initial outlay. It doesn’t give you the premium sports channels but it fits our requirements.

”Sky Ireland is set to use private investigators to monitor WhatsApp chats to detect who is buying dodgy boxes. ” - headline from the indo. How is this even possible? Messages are encrypted let alone gdpr

I'd imagine that they get themselves added to groups.
