Is there a secret "ahem!" way of re-enabling sky+ box

to pause/rewind/record after you've packed in your sky subscription?
Just asking, for a friend, you understand.

 

Don't believe there is, I did some looking around on this before

 

If 'he' hasn't already cancelled, unplug the box for a few months so it misses the signal from Sky to deactivate the software. Apparently it will still have all its recording functions when you start using the box again. If the box has already had it's software deactivated and 'he' has lost the recording function, it cannot be restored until 'he' either pays Sky £10 per month or subscribes to a package again.

 

DAMN. I mean, oh dear.... I'll pass the message along. nt

 

hook it upto your VHS or betamax.
