Isn't that VM's Media Hub?

Where did you "purchase" it from?

It will only work if it was supplied by Virgin Media if you bought off Ebay then all you got is a pricy door stop.

stolen equipment, as its property of virgin media, whoever sold it to you was selling stolen property

It would have probably have been cheaper to call Virginmedia and get a legitimate modem on your account.

Now this is a good thread as it shows that is is in many ways much easier, simpler and sometimes a damn sight cheaper to ring your ISP first before buying Virginmedia equipment from Ebay.
