I need advise please. I'll try and cut a long story short. An earlier thread I asked about the spice platinum freeview being encrypted. As a result of enquiries i finished up receiving at no charge for a trial perioda Spice Plat card from someone claiming to be an official Spice representative. Paper work recieved with the card seems quite authentic...
Puts card in and it worked straight away for 2 hours then went off leaving sound on only. Came back on for another two hours and finally went off but sound still remains.
Original sender of card claims they are having viaccess encryption problems.
I have not parted with any money but i am sure that would have been the next stage if the card were to continue working. So i think it may have been an attempted sting by someone making pirate cards.
That's ok I can stop playing that game...What bothers me though is if it is something more...
I lack technical knowledge of the pirate card game and worry that someone may be able to produce a pirate card that when used in an embedded viaccess machine could harm the viaccess system and make it possible that even an official card would not work.
Could anyone advise as to if this is technically possible before I commit to buying an official card!!!
Sorry about the long rant hope some one can advise.
