    Hi Jo,

    The box needs to be plugged in to the electrical supply and the cable to send a signal. OK? ;)

    If you only have broadband from them and have a starview etc they don't talk back so they have no way of knowing you have a box. It's only if you have a tv package and don't have their box hooked up that they might wonder why you aren't using it.

    getting a little paranoid. I don't know if it's possible to do, but just the hint that it might is enough to warrant worry. JM2C

    hi everyone

    It would be possible for vm to tell if you were using a different stb than theirs.All stbs give out rf frequencies produced by the onboard ics ,cpu etc.Vm boxes are Samsung pace etc they scan there own boxes for rf frequencies input these into a computer if that computer finds different freqs produced by a different box it alerts.The coax into your box will still send these small pulses back out of your home right down the cable system

    So..say for example that I have a SV2, and assume that my SV2 sends out signals...to vm, so...HOW will VM know the signal is coming from my house, cos the SV2 is not registered under any1's name.

    does that make sense?
