i agree plus if you look at the pic that the op has posted it shows CNBC in the channel list, which while CNBC was FTA on analogue cable it isint on digital & if hes actually watching CNBC & the like then that is indeed illegal. it may just be showing up but he cant actually watch it either way using equipment that VM havent supplied to you brakes their T&C so whether its illegal or not is besides the point really you shouldnt be using what you are anyways
