Quite a few of these stories about turning other people in seem to be at least a little bit flexible with the truth. You can also detect a high degree of bitterness in the tone of many of the posts, as opposed to a genuine desire to do something for "the greater good".

You do realise that you're advocating theft there, don't you?

Chip boxes will never go down, theirs always an 'update' that can get them 'back up and running again.' Its not fair on people who pay for their service.

Since these updates my dad came home today and our TV was frozen, he rebooted the box and now our samsung box wont load up ... only ever says LD 14 on the digital display .... fantastic .... Virgins stupid update has broken our LEGIT box... and virgin is not sending anyone untill MONDAY .. if they will even turn up .. you can never rely on a virgin engineer visiting when they are supposed too!

The dodgy boxes (the ones not linux based) would go down if Virgin media actually looked into putting better protection in there system.

To be honest it's looking a better optinion to get one of these boxes for the spare room than having to deal with the clowns at vm

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down
 
Engineer attendance in 48 hours (you really can't count Sunday) isn't bad. Very few companies would expect to get someone there quicker.

But is it really going to be a fault to do with updates to stop the dodgy users? Probably not since those started to be applied weeks ago.
