Dont worry its perfectly normal , you only dont see it using your providers box because there box blocks that channel



can the use of the SV4 box be traced??

this is open for debate

In theory NO it can not because the SV box prevent talkback so your provider doesnt know you have a feed, if it did talkback then they would block channels you didnt pay for. ( hence the need for a smart card )

BUT i've seen on other forums that some people claim to have had a letter from VM stating that they are using an illegal box and have been warned them to use there box that was supplied or there service will be discontinued allegedly.

Until i see it on the news or get a letter myself i'll continue to use my 2 SF4 boxes ( also there not illegal because they were sold as free-2-air boxes )
