Hi,

I have just had some wierd communication about cable providers doing random checks. I was advised to remove these boxes from the household.

Is this another scare tactic or this happening? The person that told me is trust worthy but he has heard from someone else so is this a case of Chinese Whispers?

I seriously wouldnt worry about that m8 unless they come armed with a search warrent. Apart from phsically seeing the box in your house there is no way of telling u have one, take it from me. Sounds like scaremongering tactics.
