A mate of mine,living in the same apartment building where all the residents have VM (not allowed dishes grrrr) has had a chipped box for at least 3 years,he gets every channel going and has never been questioned and his box has never not worked.Unbelievably he doesn't even have a tv license.I wonder if all this detection stuff actually is just a smokescreen to panic people into paying??
By the way I have a legit box and tv license,I can easily get a dodgy one but don't like cheating.
