However, as far as I am aware (and have been told by NTL staff), they do NOT count adding TV sets as modifying the equipment.
Edit: One more thing. I can understand that attaching equipment directly to the cable network may cause problems on the network, but, TBH, if plugging the wrong kind of TV (or any equipment) into the STB causes problems on the cable network, then the STB is knackered and should be replaced.

Stuart,
I totally understand what you are saying, but at the end of the day when you have a service call from a customer about poor pictures and you tip up only to find a "Y" splitter is duff or an amplifier has gone U/S, I personally take a dim view on any one doing this kind of thing.
I know you will say "but what's the chance of that happening?", I would counter that with 1 time is too many. The truth of the matter is that it happens more often than not. People also don't know about doing it off the output of the VCR or TV and tend to put any kind of connection "Before" it gets into the STB, and the rubbish that throws out onto the Network is a huge headache.
As I say it's my opinion about splitting the feed to other TV's. If you want TV in other rooms then either pay for extra Digi boxes or just have an aerial run there
