Default Cable Co testing my line?

I just had my picture go fuzzy for a few seconds and then a sign came up at the bottom of the screen saying "card removed ITV2- OK" and somethingelse which was too quick to read.

I'm connected to the incoming cable supply with an old GI CFT2100 box which essentially is just decoding the freeview channels.

Was this Virgil testing the line to see what I'm up to?

No theres no talk back on those old analogue boxes so they dont even know your there, might be them changing stuff around like an update or something you get them popping up on digital often.
