Can the CS people answer me a question.. Have you ever had anyone ring up and complain their box isn't working where the box turns out to be chipped??
I do feel contempt for the sellers but everyone who buys a chipped box does so in full knowledge that they have bought the box in order to steal services from Virginmedia, so when that box becomes a doorstop it will be amusing.

I believe that they would be unlikely to call TV faults if the box went off, but in the areas that are now receiving the new cards they start to get nagging messages advising them that their service will soon stop and a few weeks after rollout a permanent message blocking the screen appears and each of these screens give them a freephone number to call if they want to become a paying customer.
