Several people I know have no patience whatsoever - when the idea of free cable came along they all jumped on the bandwagon and happily paid £150 to traders for the box and fun card. They gloated for a while !! Then the key changes hit more often and they got sick of paying £5 each time to get their cards redone - it was costing them almost as much as a sub!! - They then readily agreed to pay another £100 to the trader for tit 2's.
These prices always seemed steep to me anyway but hey its there choice - i was just glad to get my proggie and jtag and atmega and get myself up and running for a damn sight less and learn something along the way - which has been passed on to others!!
Obviously with the latest hit i have been able to revert to a fun for now but my poor friends are staring at blank screens or terrestrial!!
Now i have been told that the trader will rectify their probs at a price but he needs the tit2's ( which have got the bk and irds written on them -ive checked) and their boxes to do some sort of update and change their cards??
Now from what ive seen people more qualified than me are working on a fix right now and although im pretty sure that someone has got it all sussed I havent seen any mention of box mods or a need to sack the tits altogether?? My guess is that he wants to supply MOSCS but why the need for the boxes??
In my experience these things normally get resolved over the course of 24 hours like the bitflop times earlier in the year and we all wonder what the fuss was all about!! I just dont want my pals to be ripped off again (did i really say that) - no seriously if there is a whiff that something needs modding on the boxes could someone let me know - at leaset i can tell the mates that their trader is on the ball and not clutching at straws!!!
thanks all
