Illegal Cable Box

I wanted to know how to go about telling Virgin Media of someone using an illegal box to view all their channels. What information do I need to give them and how, as I dont think its fair that he can view all the channels for free and I have to pay for them.

I want to remain anonymous, when reporting them.

Thanks

If you want to grass your neighbour, you should have the courage to face him after that, otherwise you are worse than him!

Re: Illegal Cable Box

If he is stealing cable ring VM and tell them, and as regards grassing your neighbour, Id have absolutely no qualms about it. I'm not going to go into all the negatives of cable thief's as its already been done on other threads, suffice to say the thieves have a detrimental effect on an already over-loaded network, so shop the thief.
