My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | No secret as to who it was Malling, but to describe Toecutter as someone who is just enjoying our hobby is possibly a slight understatement.
He hosts one of the busiest UK hobbie boards and moderates on several others, some of which give access to files. He has been pulled in before and there is every possibility that it will happen again whilst he maintains such a high profile and they (the powers that be) obviously consider that he is, if not one of the prime movers in the hacking attempts on Seca II, then possibly privy to most available information. Whether of course either of those are actually the case is another matter altogether.
I would seriously doubt whether Sky/NDS had any involvement in this at all, it is more likely to be Canal+ instigated and probably hangs on the coat tails of other arrests in Europe.
All I can say is that I admire his resilience, particularly the way he seems able to shrug off the difficulties and hope that he gets all of his computer gear returned without too much delay.
