[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 105984, member: 176912"] I don't think that the 'reputable' hardware manufacturers directly pay for dodgy software development, but some certainly don't discourage it. The morals of this market are stretched to the limit when the cash register 'kerchings'. How many Dreambox units do you think DMM would have sold were it not for the dodgy folks? I strongly suspect that the latest 'official' 1.09 image for the DM7000S was written by one of the leading writers of 'modified' software for that box. It's certainly a fact that both code and codes change hands for quite large sums of money. I guess most of it is opportunist 'hackers' trying to make a buck from their efforts, but I'm quite sure that 'leakages' occur for a variety of reasons. I'm not trying to make out that I know how this all works, but if you read enough, and have a reasonable idea of both technology practices in general and of what makes the world go round, then I think the picture paints itself.
