Well if you had a shed full of dodgy boxes what else would you be telling the gullible want it for nothings.

the reason being that on certain forums you cant say virgin or sky or you will get banned..its a way to get around the forums rules...a bit like saying virgin media is s***e<<<< u will notice now because i replaced hit with stars i have now escapped the rules of this forum and the swear filter...summit like that

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down

Slight hint, the swear filter on CF is not a way round the rules and we still infract for such usage. Especially when the meaning and intent is clear

May be coincidental but is this what caused my V+ to reboot at 6am this morning?

No that just happens occasionally for no apparent reason, only worry if it is constantly rebooting.
