How To Hack A Sky TV Box

1. Locate your phone line going into the back of the Sky box.


2. Cut through this phone line anywhere (about 3/4 length down)


3. Strip it and you will see 4 wires. Keep the black and red on one side and the green and yellow on the other.


4. Throw the other bit of the phone line that goes into the wall away or keep it if you like but you'll have no need for it.


5. Now you need one of the 9V oblong batteries (75p) and you can use one of those PP3 Battery connectors (20p).


6. Put the red and the back wires on one side of the battery and the green and yellow wires on the other


7. Hold it in place (or clip on the battery connector) then go to your box office film or whatever, pick it and put your pin it as usual, it won't charge you. If you get a "please connect telephone" message - you haven't stripped the wires enough, the battery is not connected or is dead.


8. After the screen clears you can disconnect the wires from the battery. You will never need to reconnect your phone line back to your TV. Sky updates through the satellite on your house and not through the phone line like some people think.


9. VERY IMPORTANT - Never reconnect your phone line back to your sky box or you will be charged for everything you have ordered using this method. Now every time you want to watch a PPV just repeat stages 6. 7. and 8.
