They cant catch you mate as these boxes have no Talk back function at all.

if you was gonna get caught then it would have happened by now.

They have no way of telling as far as am concerned that you are watching channels which aint paid for.

finally they dont care anymore as they know that the new encryption will kill off all current boxes running on the 1800 stream.

Enjoy while the stream is still alive and dont worry about plugging back in coz nothing will happen.

you got more chance of getting caught on C/S.

Just because your reverse path is cut, doesn't mean the stb can't talk back.

Admittedly, not in the way that TB was designed, but still "talks back" in the form of "noise", so you CAN still be traced even with TB cut.

I'm in Edinburgh area and wondered if anyone can confirm that the channels which had appeared again for the last few weeks have now disappeared?

Thanks in advance

Kerry

Surely that noise could equally come from a modem? I dont entirely think noise is reliable any way, as noise is unwanted garbled rubbish basically. When something "talks backs", it basically tells the provider that its there every few seconds, but noise is complete nonsense.

Surely, it would just be garbled gibberish for VM?
