I read a little about this on another forum. There seems to be many people who have, & pay for, legal broadband, then use illegal boxes. Isn't there a case that if these clone type boxes do fail, punters will opt for a cheaper broadband service? Therefore Virgin will loose revenue?

Peeps throughout the forums say the sky box is much better than the Virgin box, & if push comes to shove, they will switch suppliers.

It is distasteful to think my subscription for services is subsidising illegal boxes, but if revenue falls, will Virgin hike the prices.
