Just to clarify this issue which has appeared in various forums, and elsewhere on the web, and maybe save you some cash.
There is no hack available for Sky D. PPV.
The power supply across the phone input DOES NOT WORK. Yes it gives you the movies without the phone line but, I guarantee you will eventually be billed for movies watched when the line is reconnected, regardless of how long you leave it. 

There is no 'secret' engineer menu. Just a 'hidden' installation menu. It does nothing to aid free PPV. It's mention as a 'secret' menu is a bluff to fool people into thinking they have stumbled across something they shouldn't have.

These are the facts. If anyone tells you differently - they are lying or misinformed.
