Re: 2nd hand tivo boxes

If the customer knows that they don't own the box when they put it up for sale on ebay then yes, you can make a case for fraud. That would be a crime committed against the person buying it on ebay, not against Virgin.

I would suggest that most people don't read the small print and don't realise that they don't own the box. This puts them in breach of contract with Virgin, but it doesn't make them criminals-and the same is true of the op, a fool easily parted with his money he might be, but he's not a criminal engaged in handling stoleng goods.
