Sky: Crack pay TV channels - all information

You can only receive Sky if you have subscribed to the Pay TV channel. You will then receive the appropriate hardware and a smart card with which you can receive the variety of Sky channels. Without this card, Sky channels can be found in your TV's channel search, but the channels are all encrypted so that reception without a smart card is not possible.

• If you want to try to crack this encryption, you should note that this is prohibited.
• Because you are not only violating Sky’s terms and conditions, but you are making a criminal offense under Article 263a (1), (2), and Article 263 (3) No. 1 of the Criminal Code.
• If you are caught doing so, you face imprisonment of up to 10 years.
• So you'd better take a look at our alternatives to Sky before making yourself punishable.
