    Thumbs down legality of boxes/vign terms

    if your not entering into a contract in the first place how can you agree to terms? you can recieve radio signals anywhere but not pay. the terms that you enter the contract either giving consent by way of a signature or orally binds you to those details but if you dont go into business with them then why should you not use it? sky sports has not been patented and even if it was your making them rich anyway they get money from advertising junk which we buy thats my tax for watchin it. IF its there and you want to watch it , go. your paying for it anyway

    If and I repeat If they are trialing something could it not be aimed at detecting c/s cable boxes. ??

    No one can prove you have a tv or cable box unless they see it .And to do this you must invite them into your home . Personally i don't let anyone i don't know cross my doorstep . Problem solved .

    Ack, I dunno - after I nearly spat my pepsi over my monitor with laughter, that utter nonsense brought a smile to my face, so a big thumbs up to the poster - any other fairy stories on the go please do tell

    I dont know what your all mocking the original poster for, the technology and know how has been around for a while to find and even identify unofficial receivers but VM have never had the motivation or even will to do anything about it. The financial aspect of such a venture has always been the deciding factor on them doing anything about it. It has never been worth their while as prosecutions would be very rare due to them needing entry into the house to prove it.

    This reminds me of the time pat and mick at the end of my street had a visit from the TV detector van.

    Mick was just leavin the house when the man came to the door lookin for their TV liecence.

    Mick was late for his work so he said to the man to ask pat and tell him its behind the clock on the mantle peice in the livingroom and he then sped of for work.

    The TV man chapped the door and pat answered, the man said iam here to see your tv liecence, pat said iam not sure were it is, the man replied its behind the clock on the mantle peice in the livingroom.

    ~~~~ me says pat thats some fekin detector van you have.
