Perhaps one or more of the moderators who have been around much longer then I have might have further information as to their knowledge of end users of these FTA receivers being prosecuted for piracy.
A man and his wife were arrested, based on there own stupidity though. They called the cops to there house and forgot to hide the tons of plastic and provider receiver equipment. The dude is serving 5 i think and the lady 2. This was in Toronto, Canada...
