so wrong on all accounts mate. The issue with `tampering` with the box to gain free services as you indicated previously is the same for a sky box or a virgin media box. As for not long enough I wouldn`t know how long is long enough to tamper with a box but my guess is a matter of hours not weeks as in the case of my `no service` period!
Anyway I will find out next week as I intend on phoning virgin for an offical `ruling`. I will let you know
