[QUOTE="80sman, post: 400317, member: 14145"] I did write a great big long post about this, then the internet connection cut me off. Long and short of it is: Virgin media say it's a breach of they're terms and conditions to tamper with your connection or hardware which they own in any way shape or form. EU law says that there must be an allowance for competition for within the market place..... which is the crux of the problem. Is it illegal to use your own equipment to view cable in the uk with a valid subscription or is it illegal for virgin to stop you? Nobody knows..... nobody wants to be the one to get the test case thrown at them. Either way this forum isn't the best place to find out. Google will probably be your friend. probably something like "Satellite, Cable, Hardware, & Technology forums" ought to cover it..... try copy and pasting that in, see where you get. [/QUOTE]
