Heya,

Found out a strange thing with the DishTV movie on demand feature, when you make an order for a film to be viewed on your STB, you are entitled to pay for the expenses, however you order the movie from your mobile through SMS, therefore, DO NOT give out your Smart Card number to anybody else.

The code to order a movie is like this - “MOD ” and send to 7575. Now, for example if you put someone else’s SC number in there, they will see the movie when they never asked for it and they will also pay for it, and this is a costly affair as well, Rs. 40/- per movie, so you must watch out, and by the way, I’ll test this on Tata Sky and let you people know whether this vulnerability is there as well or not.

Be optimistic nevertheless! Maybe they’ll repair it after the email I am sending them right now.

    April 10th, 2007 at 9:33 am I stay away for some time frequently from my present residence where Tata sky connection has been installed. Can I get only a dish at the other place where I had to stay and carry my Digicomp set top box and remote and connect it to the dish installed? Is Tata sky can provide this facility.
