Apparently, there is a way of viewing freeview channels o your PC using a TV card and the NTL signal which is ok to do as its free anyway. Never got round to trying it myself.

It's a cable modem for broadband not a set top box.

The modem is used in conjuction with the set top box apparently.

Dont know why I'm defending it really, stoopid way of getting a fine.

Chipped set top boxes - yes they do exist. Still not sure about the chipped cable modem though.

I cant understand what gain anyone would get from Chipping a modem up, its not as if it will give you free broadband, or increase the bandwidth. it just doesnt make sence

they do exist,basically all they are doing is using the mac address of another subscribed modem & modify the new bought modem to use this mac address
