If there is an earlier forum item that answers this please point me to it.
Firstly, welcome to the Forums. Enjoy your stay.

I think it might be a good idea to do a thorough forum search on this topic because it has been discussed a few times before. In a nutshell, all NTL boxes you see for sale on eBay etc are effectively stolen property and are illegal to use on NTL's network.
