Default Is there a risk?!

Hi all, just a quick couple of questions.

I have just brought the 'The Box PVR' and all seems to be working great. My only concern is...... is there any risk of getting into trouble (i.e. being caught). I assume it is not 100% legit? I currently just have Internet via cable and was wondering if there was anyway the provider will be able to tell what I am doing?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.


Also is there anyway I can edit the channel info on the PC (i.e. not having to do it via the remote etc)?

Regards

WuTan

Risk of getting into trouble? Well, the box has no talk back facility (ie, no interactive services), so V won't know it even exists on their network. The only way they're likely to find out is if they see it in your house (ie, if they're called in to repair your broadband)

Starview Channel Editor will allow you to change channels on your PC (basic reordering and renaming of channels)

Cheers Sir - Yeah I wasn't sure if the box would talk back at all.
