Sort of cable related, your views?

Pensioners, 72 and 75, charged £900 by Virgin for watching porn they claim they didn't order in five-year battle with media giant | Mail Online

Lots of people suggesting it's a cloned box, which I doubt completely.

It said they got a TiVo so I assume they had another box beforehand and it has happened twice.

Funny that..... I was told about some bloke in bootle, liverpool getting 'dodgy' tivo boxes...
Could be some truth in the clone rumour?

Can't be a cloned card though surely.

anyone tried to order with no card in the box
as if chips and read and cloned and no card needed to authorise the boxes order

Looking at the pair, the idea of them watching porn leaves me with some pretty gruesome mental images.

I do have one piece of advice, based on the room layout......

Shift the TV, or the sofa, cos otherwise he'll have a stiff neck as well!:Biggrin2:

it might one of the kids stopping and over doing it on the porn and the porn is shit on sky not hardcore lol

This post caused me to thoroughly research porn.

I can quite understand why pensioners would watch - funniest stuff I've seen in years

They've had 5 kids. Do they think the mechanism has changed, or have they lost the instructions?:Biggrin2:

i was a legite vermin tv customer a few years back, paid for some tv but not the top package.

anyways, came home one friday and the service had been cut. i rung up and was told it was cut cause the missus had ordered a few ppv movies.

even though we paid by direct debit , they wanted the money up front, and wanted me to pay summit like 20quid by debit/credit to get the service back on.

strikes me as weird then why they would allow someone to run up a bill worth thousands of pounds without either questioning them, contacting them or cutting the service???

We never did anything like I saw and it still worked???

:Hit::Hit::Hit:

Its obvious to me, The old guy is knocking seven bells out of his cock when the fat wife has buggered off to bed... Bill shows up and he goes along with the story rather than admit its him knocking the shit out of himself on a night.

Look at the picture of him and tell me im wrong lol.

Next news will be "someone keeps leaving soggy tissues next to the sofa".

It's puzzling really. Animals manage ok, pre-historic man obviously did. Must be the "recreational" element.
Or the ever increasing need to make things seem complicated, so you "need" to buy something.

To return to the op, don't they have net access from tivo boxes, why would they pay for watered down softies?
The hard stuff isn't exactly difficult to find. We've got two boxes, one a tivo which we rarely use.
Still, the remote has so many multifunctional buttons, it would be easier to find a Malaysian air liner.

Yes you are correct no chance of that! It is possible to clone software from one box to another tho meaning these boxes will register the same mac address,this is also very unlikely tho as an engineer would most likely have to be involved for that to happen..Virmin would also have the ability to check the location of the box that ordered these ppv requests to a certain degree.

Sky do this crap too charging people for films etc that were never ordered..its the reason why people should be able to block such crap from their account in the first place.

With sky the ppv etc is registered on the viewing card,with virgin i think ppv is registered from the box itself which is always virmins property.

I doubt it's cloning

I think it's a problem on vermin side

The macs will b registered
Plus to clone u will need physical access to the box
