we do NOT have one of those dodgy boxes.
Yep we're definitely not being charged any more. Yknow when you ring up and it says press 1 for tv, 2 for bb, 3 for phone, etc-there is no TV option for me! And i think thats what dodgy box people do -disconnect their TV part from NTL.
Are dodgy boxes any good though seriously? ive heard mixed reports. Just couldnt be bothered getting one myself cos i dont watch enough TV to warrant the purchase and/or possible hassle associated but i mean if NTL ring me up demanding money back cos they switch me off, i wonder how i could prove that i didnt ask for it to be switched off!
Maybe its up to them either way to proove that.
For the dodgy box to work you still need NTL TV coming in, the basic analogue connection will do. I've had no trouble with it, €125, plug it in, bang, all the channels.
Don't jump ship just yet as I think they finally got around to upgrading their encryption and are start to roll it out. I heard some of the guys in work saying that about 10 channels are now scrambled - setanta, mutv, celtic tv, adult channels etc. Apparently they started with these first as less people subscribe to these than movies etc so it was easier to migrate these over first.
My parents have the box and lost 10 channels in the last week. There are no codes available yet to unscramble the channels - apparently they have to wait for the same channels to be scrambled in the UK before they will find codes to unscramble the channels............or so they have been told!
