Ian, I think you are missing the point, I accept that sky have to send out
a
signal to every box,
but in order to shut of non contributors surely they have to target
specific
cards, and if so then they can
only do this by using digital code switch which will turn off that
particular card/box.
Now don't swear or rant and rave, just explain why this is not so.


That is indeed so.

So you think there's a "bad reception" program in every box which can
be switched on by a digital code, do you?

Because you've refused to pay a third-party scammer for insurance?

don't be silly Ian , what I said was Sky can program boxes to do what they
want.
They have control over their boxes, because they have to, if they need to
switch off tthe signal then they need to target specific boxes.
IE they can also program their boxes to do whatever they want, because we
know that digitaly they can
control their boxes.
