Just scouting around the forums and I found this and now you know why this company UBI is fighting back to control piracy. Have a look at this TARBS thread its 10 kms long with over 100,000 views alone, too long to read them all, just read a few here and there and the last ones there is your answer, why your boxes are being disabled. UBI is only looking after its business. I'm surprised you guys didn't pick this thread up earlier.<br />Find the TARBS thread.<br />

Right but if the Pirates are serious about hacking UBI etc. They will go straight to box manufacturers in China and get them to build an MDS clone.<br /><br />They can clone anything in just a few weeks.<br /><br />Bet you would like one of these NDS/Irdeto dual pvr units!<br /><br />Yep it takes legit irdeto cards and NDS cards!
Pirates don't want legit cards, they want no cards thus you have the Dreambox. well if pirates want clones made in China go let them but remember they have to sell them and who wants to be caught selling them. Now I know there is a suppliers of the Other chinese boxes (Telstar 18, Videoland Pas 8)and they are coming out of NZ and if they are coming out of NZ I bet most know who it is.
Nothing illegal about selling FTA units from China. Or clone MDS boxes for that matter <br /><br />The most common decoders in NZ market are the<br /><br />X2<br />hts 9300<br />Metabox<br />atom<br />Topfield<br /><br />They are mostly sold via
www.trademe.co.nz auction site.<br /><br />Not sure what you are referring to as to who sells them. But the Skynet sub cards can be bought legally from local agents
Yet the funny thing is all the above are coming From NZ, People in Oz are buying them directley from NZ. <br />The Best thing about clone boxes is once you buy one and send it to the paytv provider that one in that range dies,, plenty of spies willing to send the boxes to the pay Tv companies.HeHeHe and i know plenty <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />
Now it would look funny having a Asian Subscribing to UBI. HeHeHe LOL. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
you can bet if anything of interest pops up in MDS via 76.5E<br /><br />That a Chinese box will come out for it, probably in the middle east marketplace.
Wherever there is a fast buck to make you can bet the Chinese will be involved, again only time will tell and its up to UBI to do there bit to stop it .
Guys i was just wondering, for the pirated boxes and the chipped boxes that are getting UBI for free, how long will they be getting it for free and when will ubi stop them, that if they can?
Why worry about it for?<br />All that kind of info is with UBI...<br /><br />Like said above, it's up to UBI to do something about it.

Mr GOD almighty Murdoch and his precious NDS is being ripped around the world via card sharing but not Mentor.
just another question.... The pirates that have pirated boxes when UBI Shuts off thier box will they just lose the channels or will this stuff-up thier boxes?
Are you worried about stuffing up ur pirated box?? <br /><br />All these questions sounds to me like you have one thats all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

We had a problem only last week but its ok now the only thing we need now to make us happier is a few English channels and we will be back where we were back in the TARBS era but with better Spanish channels.
