Not everyone has the knowledge that a lot of people within this thread has, nor does everyone (again as discussed before ) realise that it is illegal..

Yes we have all had someone with a modem calling in as they have either bought it or got it from a friend and they want to use it as a second extension, we just advise them that it cannot be added to their account as it would not actually work and that it is also classed as stolen goods.
We then advise them to get a router for the extra connection required.
No idea what happens if someone calls in on the TV side with a box from Ebay, I expect that they will be told a similar tale and would be advised to speak to Sales if they want a box in another room.
I know that our engineers can and do confiscate illegal boxes when they get called out for a fault of any type,
