After disconnecting the phone line and getting box office movies,
would a
full system reset erase any box office info? Doing a reset (through
hidden menu) erases all my settings and recordings on my Sky+ box, so I
wonder
if it will erase the pay-per-view info as well?
I might give it a try.

office movies ?
From what I've read, this code temp. disables the dial-up
authentication system, so you can watch pay-per-view events, movies, porn
etc.
HOWEVER, once you hit the £50 limit this will stop working. At some
point (poss. when the box is rebooted), the box will dial home, tell Mr.
Murdoch what you've watched and that £50 will be on your next bill. The
effect is exactly this same if you disconnect the box from the
phoneline.
All you will have done is delay the bill by a few day/weeks/months,
for about £9 looking at Ebay.
If
you look hard on the net, you'll find the code for yourself. Funny but
hardly much point...
Sky take
their systems VERY seriously, they would rather spend millions protecting
them, than lose millions to a bunch of hackers. Unlike, say, OnDigital/ITV
Digital who picked a already broken system to protect their
revenues.

Sky cannot and
will probably not be cracked – so don’t even waste your money. You’ll have to cough up for a
subscription like the rest of us J
If you unplug
your phone it will give you free box office movies be warned u’ll eventually get
caught though cos u’ll
have to plug it in sometime!
This guy reckons he can give
you a code to type that gives free box office movies. Someone tell me this
is a scam before I go wasting money....
