| Free cable TV - Big Tone (9/05/2002 7:49:11 AM) |
Ok, today I discovered the joys of Free Foxtel.
I was sent a link to a website that described How to get the free Foxtel and I spent today rounding up all the parts I need.
Reqirements : Live foxtel plug. (those with BPA cable will already have this as it travels on the same cable as the internet service)
TV tuner card (I bought a Winfast TV 2000 tuner - excellent for watching TV on your PC at any rate)
Most importantly - the newly released software that decodes the signal from the cable
After setting up the card and plugging all the leads in and tweaking the software ... BAM - free Cable TV !!
The software still needs work but it wont be long before the picture is perfect.
Oh the Joy !!
You can view the details on the website or contact me for further information |

I'd just like to point out the copyright notices on the bottom of the page. And that I have never met, as far as I can recall, Big Tone. Nor do I necessarily condone any of his posts. And that pirating cable is theft. And did I mention the copyright notice on the bottom of the page - it refers that comments are property of the owner, we are just holding it for someone else officer. I also don't own this site.
If anyone from anywhere wants to complain to me I shall do my utmost in removing any problem material posted.

I was asked to "rant" about anything.
I cant find where to edit my post. How about you just delete it.

Chickenshit Tony! If that is your real name. Yours is more an informational hardware review than a rant. Which is fine, reviews of stuff are more than welcome.
A rant is where you get really ANGRY. Like at FoxTel or Optus for charging way more than they really should, for not putting in underground cable when they should have, especially in GODAMN NEW SUBURBS THAT ARE JUST BEING BUILT, and for charging too much for their internet cable modem service, and for not getting the SCI FI CHANNEL YOU STUPID PILES OF STEAMING APE VOMMIT, and for not letting us select EXACTLY what channels we want coz maybe I don't want to have my brain emptied with the ad channel and MTV crap, and for not having movie channels in the basic package. And for doing all this crap to the public just to support an infrastructure consisting mostly of middle management who all want big bonuses for suggesting that the price go up, for all this crap, the option of tuning your video input card seems OK.
Again - not that I would ever condone such a thing. The above paragraph may or may not be my opinion, its only a hypothetical statement. Any similarity to evil bastard companies living or bankrupt is purely coincidental. We all know that Foxtel and Optus are caring and giving businesses that give real value for money.
Hahahahahaaaaa!
Sorry. I just thought of something funny.
Oops! There's a bug exposed. Dang. Fix tonight.
