    Hmm, I would have said a DBox?

    Did'nt come accross them much over here,TBH,I cant recall ever seeing one!:rotfl:the chipped or cubed Analogue ones were the most common over here & still is mainly because Londonderry cannot have DTV on cable.
    The was a bloke over in West Belfast a while back who,stupidly,put flyers thru peoples doors offering to chip the Analogue & Digi boxes,
    And he was arrested,prosecuted & jailed...

    It actually got to the stage that,because of the amount of Analogue boxes still in parts of Belfast,I was telling customers if they had a chipped box & the broadband started acting up,not to call NTL as the chipped broadband was the problem!
    AND if I had a penny for every time someone asked me if I could chip the boxes I'd be quite well off! (well,enough for a pack of beer anyway!)
