Re: Rumour?

Re: Rumour?

Hopefully means the idiot have to pay the price in the end. I hate people who have been stealing TV off NTL and have been speaking to their fraud dept in relation to ebay for some time.

Re: Rumour?

Is this just the digital services, I know someone who is quite proud of the fact that he has had chipped analogue services for over 3 years.

Dont go over the top mate, expletives are not even used for the horrible little sods that set fire to a girls hair the other day, all he's doing is getting some TV Channels free.

Re: Rumour?

IMO its no different than downloading music, out there someone else is buying albums and i guarantee most people on this site download music regularly and buy the odd album, does that really difffer than paying for the base pack and gettin the rest free?

i dont have a chipped box btw, nor do i encourage it

If you are implying that "most people on this site" are involved in illegal music downloads I think you are very much mistaken.
