Let's get a sense of perspective here - the man isn't trying to steal cable, he's asking if he can use an unsubscribed box to receive channels that are already free-to-view.

As it happens, that's not possible, but let's not crucify him for wanting to connect unsubscribed equipment when it's no more serious than attaching your telly direct to the cable to get the free analogue channels, or altering your cable lengths with DIY equipment ... neither of which are allowed by VM's T&Cs, but both of which are regularly encouraged and explained on this forum.
