Yes, I can see that that is in their t&c, but we don't know whether this particular device was rented out by Virgin (I accept this is their usual procedure and it most probably was) and we don't know whether any rental agreement was varied. For the sake of argument, if subscriber said "I am terminating", please come and collect my Tivo" and Virgin said "Not worth the bother mate, you keep it" (albeit it won't be much use to anyone).

I guess none of this is really that important, but just following up the point.......

Now as to the explanation of how the broadband signal comes through, thanks for that, I am now a little bit wiser. Moving on, I have aways wondered, what is the purpose of the little red credit card in my VBox with what looks like a SIM chip in it. Is this a way of uniquely identifying the piece of hardware, or of uniquely identifying me?
