...NTL are totally unable to disrupt the tv signal for the channels you've got on their box (the ones you pay for)...if you happen to have two or three other pipe/cable locations in your house, your Eurovox is still able to access all of the channels...fact.

I personally dont care if he's a member of MENSA, NASA, MI5, SAS, FBI, CIA, Boys Brigade, Girls guides, YMCA, or any other organisation or what he does for a living,

He is the one that is 100% wrong, or you are because you have completely misinterpreted what he was discussing with you. The fact of the matter is all channels that you recieve from your supplier apart from the FTA channels have a level of encryption. Currently the eurovox's and all the other units have a modified firmware that will only allow them to unencrypt the nagra1 system and as satsmo says if certain channels are using the Nagra2 or Nagra3 level of encryption there is no way physically possible that in their current state the boxes can unencrypt these channels regardless of what your paying for on your official unit.
