If you buy them It Tells you to Accept the T&C's that you wont use it for recieving Illegal Cable.. So Theres a Lot Of fibbers who ticked that
2) Like the Guy Said Earlier Unfortunately there will Always be ways to get the service free and It Will not stop
3) Although I pay A stupidly Large Bill For Sky+HD here.. and Half of the bill for V+ at my Mothers I Do Not Show Anger at People who steal it..
People Steal Services because they are not Willing to Pay the Stupid Price For TV services Nowadays.. A TV licence is one thing but the prices these days are just plain silly
As for The Whole Make It like Sky.... Trust me Sky Isnt 100% FoolProof..
Anyone Who Actually Thinks the TV prices are reasonable Should Slap themselves for me 
People Can Only be Caught Via Getting Grassed Up as I believe the Boxes Only Recieve and Dont Send anything back
And This Cannot be Solved by Simply Banning All Starviews and What have you in the UK and Saying You can Just get a recording Freeview Box If your Using them Legit... That Wont work Because Most Of the Boxes are shipped
It does However Come to the Point where it seems these Companies Know exactly what There Boxes are Being Used as and Upgrade the Fookers to HD!!

Only some of the boxes are 3rd party most are modified VM boxes . I do not think the new encryption will be a simple flash to get around it. I am sure I have read the popular European box is not flashable to cover Nagra 3 in countries its been implimented
As far as connection these 3rd party boxes its against terms to connect them to VM equipment however I do not know if its actually illegal to connect them though. But modified cable boxes are the property of Vm (although they write them off and perhaps expect you to stick them in the loft forever) makes at best owning one receiving stolen goods which is criminal
