I would be interested to know what evidence the OP has when he says 'They have no clue what so ever of how to run a Server', how does the OP know it isn't sky fiddling with things to stop the cs from working and the providers then having to hack it again? how does he know it's just down to the providers unable to run the server?
Changed my mind and edited my post.
I did explain how I knew, complete with Screenshots of one of these resellers Oscam status screens, just giving not founds and timeouts because the fool had lost his cache and didnt know how to get it back again, but I then decided against posting the info. Info such as this may very well get the thread deleted and if that happened, then the warning to not subscribe to these fools would be deleted too.
Its borderline on what is allowed and what is not on these type of forums, so I decided to air on the side of caution here. You will just have to either believe me or not, its up to you, but trust me when I say that they really dont have a clue on how to run a Server. Some of course will know more, but many are just nobs jumping on the bandwagon and trying to make a fast buck before Sky UK add ICAM to the HD channels like is already in use with the SD channels. Once Sky do this, then this pairing hack is game over for everyone anyway. This could be days, weeks, months, who knows, but it is coming at some point soon and then all of this will be accademic anyway.
Oh and just for info, ICAM is indeed hacked, and the main provider with the Sky UK Cards ( probably the DO NOT MENTION SERVER NAMES AGAIN ) may actually have it, but you dont, and even if they were to patch Oscam and give subscribers an Oscam Binary with their Subs that included ICAM, it wont run as is on any E2 box anyway because no boxes drivers currently include ICAM. The only solution to this would be to use Stream Relay like everyone had to do for Powervu years ago, until that was eventually added to all boxes drivers.
So regardless of if Sky UK is ever coming back from these muppet Resellers or not, the future of this pairing hack is bleak anyway. So the moral of the story here as in the first post is dont give your hard earned money to these fools, it doesnt work well and its down more than up, and even when it is up and working for a few days here and there, its unlikely to last the full 12 months of your sub anyway.
