Is this scarey story time or is it possible me being non tech head. I have just been told to unplug incoming cable from starview as virmin are checking lines for resistance or something to see how many boxes on your line.they have done this in manchester area & got a lot of prosecutions? (not that I have read) this is from mate whos dad works at virmin & he is un plugging his box.I know doom & gloom or cock & bull but he is worried.

haha I'd love to see one of these cases go to court ...

"Mr. Non-Customer, you are charged with having too little or too much resistance on the coaxial cable entering your home. How do you plea?"

Love it

Why dont you use auto update fix ? then you wont have this every time they change a key, if you look in starview section you will find how.

store after every key/letter/number you change, takes longer but usually works
