It's *A* reason they're on eBay. NTL can't do much about STBs taken in burglaries and sold at car boot sales, but if they kept a very tight regime on collecting them, and had inventory systems in place that stopped unscrupulous employees stealing them, there would be a much, much smaller supply available.

Also, eBay should be made aware that while it's legal to trade cable boxes in the US, and it's legal to trade satellite boxes in the UK, the sale of UK cable boxes is illegal.
