Chipped boxes
There seems to be an alarming amount of chipped boxes being offered for sale around Mansfield this past few weeks, the price being £150 fitted. I just wondered if NTL are aware this is happening? I know a few people who have purchased these boxes, will charges be bought if these people are caught using these boxes? I've lost count how many times I've been offered one this past year.

They don't discuss their work publicly for obvious reasons, which is why people sometimes thing nothing is happening. Like any crime, you can never totally eradicate it. But there's several people who've eaten bread and water for doing this. |
Re: Chipped boxes
I was told with digital boxes NTL can change the signal on a frequent basis, so that a chipped box becomes scrambled and effectively useless after they do this. :confused:

Re: Chipped boxes
I'm sure ntl have all sorts of ways and means to reduce the effectiveness of chipped boxes. Perhaps the most obvious is that you have to be physically connected to ntl's cable system. I would have thought that chipping or otherwise that is bound to create some sort of signal into ntl's network that can be interrogated.
If your going to buy something that is chipped, surely a sky system would be a better option, as without the physical connection to a network, tracing the box must be much harder. All the chipped box would have to do is get round any changing scrambling codes. Bottom line though using a chipped STB is theft, and cannot be condoned. Anyone caught using such a system deserves whatever they have coming to them. |
Re: Chipped boxes
its not just the cable tv box's that are chipped but also the cable modem's as well stand alone that is.

Re: Chipped boxes
Cant see them getting a court order to find out who the number belongs to! Come to think of it the sim may not even be registered! :(

Re: Chipped boxes
The SIM may not be registered if it's PAYG, but remember who owns most of the mobile transmitters in the UK... ;)
