When I tried to bring up http://www.cableterminator.com/ I got an error message. Forbidden URL
Is this censorship possibly?
Can anyone else bring up that addrress?

The reason I think it may be censor shiip is that my internet provider is the cable company and I am looking for a TV guide for illegal cable.

Your local outlaw, donkeydust.
PS if I am wrong is there something else I can do about it?

It's an error on the web server side. Everybody will get a version of the same error.
It's not you, it's him. :)

Hi,
I clicked on the link you gave, and got the same error. It's not you or your ISP at fault.

The problem is defintiely on the server end. There are two possibilites. Either there is a problem with the way the site has been constructed or the site is restricted.

Its possible, given what you said about the site, that you have to be given access to it by the site operator.

I'm curious though, what would a TV Guide for illegal cable be? What do you mean by illegal cable? If you are referring to a descrambler that you are using to illegally receive cable TV. I strongly suggest you stop using it. Cable companies are cracking down on these and if they find you using one it could mean a hefty fine if not jail time.

Didn't I just say that a day earlier?

A huge number of people up here use pirate satellite without much concern.

The sellers advertise in the local paper. I think they like the buyer to put in the code so they are not responsible. That said laws are not so restrictive in general up here than in the usa.

Dishnet including pay per view channels run about $500 USD. The receiver people are using now is Koolsat (sp?) and the channel menu is not great.

Not that that is always so great to have less punitive laws... as we have a lot of property crime because of it.

I'm sorry, but I cannot and will not condone or support such piracy. Whether its common practice or not, its still stealing. Maybe, if so many people didn't steal the signal, the increased revenues would allow the satellite companies to reduce prices.

If laws change its going to be very easy for the satellite company to drive around noting pirate dishes and then prosecuting.
