VOD PPV Charge Using Fake (Legit) UID

Post by ufo »

Say your box's real address in XC is B and you fake a legit address A.

The box will only receive command for A and the XC chip will reject the command. The command to B will not arrive to the XC chip.
HELP!!!
usbbdm,
The above seems not to be true. I placed an On-Demand PPV order on my box that uses a fake but legit uid taken from an active full subscription box. The On-Demand PPV order went through and I was billed. Why?

My goal is to get my On-Demand Premiums to work. The only reason why I'm faking with a legit uid from an active fully subscribe box to my basic subscription box is because it allows my On-Demand Premiums to work where other fake uid's I've used get most VOD'S but not the VOD Premiums.

In conclusion, can someone please address my following concerns:
1- Is it true that faking legit uid's are not rejected and so not safe to use?
2- Is anyone getting VOD "Premiums" after faking the uid? HOW?

Thanks

As far as VOD to the CC end you are faking to that box and it will billed to the box address you faked to.

Thanks usbbdm for your quick response.

But no, the bill was not to the address I faked to but to the box's XC chip address.

That takes care of my question #1.
But I'm getting the sense that it may not be cool to ask such questions openly here. If so and anyone has a response to my other question #2 on how to get VOD Premiums after faking the uid, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks

i was also wondering about VOD premiums. is it based on the UID, or is there another way to get the premiums working? i have VOD working, but premium content wants to charge me and some will say to call to subscribe. PM if you know

UFO, if you also did not change the UPM, it is possible that the UPM was matched to your *REAL* XC UID and thus they were able to bill you.


As far as premium on-demand, you must have a legit UID and sometimes a legit UID/UPM combination in order to get on-demand premium channels.

If your UID is not recognized in their database as on that is authorized for any given premium package, you will not be allowed to view that particular premium package VOD channel content.

Wow, I started this post just over a year ago. To those that have asked about VOD, the answers are already in this thread. Read carefully.

drknebula, you are right on all accounts. Thanks. I have learned to change both.

junctionbox, thanks for the lessons.

Now back to testing.......
