no one seems to have mentioned the fact that everyone with a chipped box is a paying ntl customer because they all pay the for the minimum channel package and get a new box , switch it for the chipped box ,and then get every other chan including pay-per-view and porn for free.......thats why they go uncaught
so ntl only need to do a swift update zap of all there base package customers and the ones with chipped boxes will not work until they are rechipped to the new signal.......im sure this could be done on a regular basis.
doing nothing makes a mockery of people like me that pay nearly a hundred quid a month for everything.

Back in the old days though, the cable company I originally worked for would make more from a basic customer than one with a full package. It was all to do with the way Sky was pricing to cable operators, and meant there was more profit margin on a basic package customer than full package. Hard to believe but true!
I accept that the pricing plan today may be different, but it was just not worth the effort of chasing a customer who was robbing service. The end result would be Sky making more money and the cable operator would get less. The company always made the minimum effort required for Sky to think the cheats were being sought.
