          Ignore the letter, BTW where did you buy it from, I don't see any reason for not posting it on here.

            How about scanning this letter, blank out your name and address etc and post it in this thread for us to view..?

            As we know it is not illegal to buy a digital receiver and when it arrives at your house it is not configured to pick up premuim digital tv services.. Its what you choose to do with it afterwards that makes it dodgey and then only when it is connected to their services...

            But i for one would like to start seeing these letters scanned and posted online before the thread/discussion gets to finger pointing status.. Its not that I don't believe they exist, its just that I am nosey and want to see one...

                just take a photo of it (with your phone if you have to)

                usually good enough to read

                  It is quite possable that the have been scanning your area and have detected your viewing channels without the means to do so, and as they are the only cable network in your area they know that its there service your using. They could have also detected extra draw on there service in your neighbourhood and have linked this back to your domain, A letter of course will be the first step (in the hope that you will disconnect) possable another letter in a week or two followed by a visit from a representative, if they are not satasified they will remove connection from the street to your domain.

                  This has happened to myself in a rented appartement many years ago, its a bo!!ox.

                    A lot of people have received these letters over the last month or two as said name the company and we can fill in the blanks hopefully, as has been done with their last batch of letters.
