Re: NTL customers breaking the law

Funnily enough, when you mention this to NTL users, lots seem keen to find out who it is that will actually sell them a dodgy box.. lol

There are always loads of ntl Digital boxes on there - How do these people get away with selling them? There's one on there at the moment up to £61.00

Re: NTL customers breaking the law

There's loads on there, many say in the title that they are modded, Ntl should crack down IMO

http://search.ebay.co.uk/ntl_W0QQsalocatedincountryZ3

I couldn't believe how many there were when I finally got around to listing an Ntl remote we had left from when we had the TV with them. Shocking, and some poor (well not that poor if he's into stealing cable) guy is going to be conned into buying one!

Ever thought that it could be NTL themselves that are selling some of the boxes? Get the cash from you for the box and then disconnect you at the green box a week or two later.

Re: NTL customers breaking the law

NTL are pro-activly dealing with fraud on it's STB's. Check out modshack for a 10,000 viewed thread about how they changed one of the encryption keys for the bromley area and rendered quite a lot of boxes inoperable on the network.

You can't hold NTL responsibe for every stb that goes missing, people often move out of serviceable area's and take the boxes with them.

I'd urge anyone who knows anything about chipped boxes in their area's to contact ntl directly, much like if you saw some one stealing a car you'd report it to the police. Similar thing..

...but if you already have a subscribed box or broadband, you would just phone them up & they would have to reconnect you.

Re: NTL customers breaking the law

There's one bloke on there selling about 10 remote controls on there in one lot and in pristine condition complete with boxes.

Methinks an engineer is on the fiddle there ...
