The reason you are thinking of going for illegal cable tv boxes is probably due to the reluctance to pay for months and months of recurring bills for the cable tv service. The reluctance is legitimate but I can't say the same with regards to the method itself. However, all is not lost, there are better alternatives than using illegal cable tv boxes and they are perfectly legal and reliable. It is by watching live cable tv on your computer.
So how do you have cable television channels streamed right to your PC with no recurring fees? There are 2 ways to do that. You can get a PCTV card. These cards come in the form of internal (PCI/PCI Express) cards or external USB device. Connect the device to your broadband connection and you can start watching live cable feeds with the software that comes in the package.
Another way, which I personally prefer, is by using satellite tv software. This software enables your PC or laptop to stream live tv channels using broadband network without the need for any hardware. A real plus since there is no need for hardware installation or having another device on your desk. Some of these softwares offer more than 3000 international channels in different languages for you to choose from. The great thing about it is that it makes use of internet as the medium of video streaming, which means it is reliable and you use it anywhere there is an connection, even WIFI/wireless internet. Even illegal cable tv boxes can't give you that.
The good thing about these methods is that they come only with a one-time fee. For PCTV cards, you only need to pay for the hardware. If you are using satellite tv software, you also will only need to pay for the software itself and can subsequently watch thousands of live tv channels, anywhere in the world, for as long as you like, free of charge. It is a much better alternative, in my opinion, than using illegal cable tv boxes.
If you prefer to watch cable tv on your sleek LCD TV screen, you can connect your desktop or laptop to it using a VGA connection.
