The answer, according to Bruce Simpson of the infamous Aardvark website, is
yes, they are. Check out this story he wrote in May this year:

Good one Greg :))))))
Of Interest only (probably nothing to do
with the falling shareprice)]
A phonecall to SKYTV a couple of
weeks ago.................my brother inlaw who is staying with us rang
up sky to see if they send us this months skywatch magazine..He mentioned his
name and got the 3rd degree as his name obviously was not on their records. We
finally rang sky and ordered the mag, in the conversion we mentioned my
brother inlaw's failed attempt. The answer was, that it may have been a
request by an unauthorized user.
mmmmmmmmmnnnnnn........Does that mean that a
number of people are hacking into skys programmes using the computer +
decoding software ( copied from the internet).or they have found other means
in doing so that us investors don't know about.
