Pirated Sky TV sold for £10 a month

How it works

The television signal is received in the usual way, but it is encrypted by the broadcasters in an attempt to prevent piracy. The boxes use the internet to stream the encryption key, allowing the viewer to receive channels.


Subscribers to satellite or cable TV can pay more than £80 a month to legitimately receive premium packages.
But fraudsters were caught on camera selling set-top boxes which access equivalent packages for £10 per month.
In light of the findings, experts warned hacked satellite and cable TV is increasing and becoming the "new norm".
