I know it might be bull but a friend of mine told me to unplug my Super UsbBox tonight as NTL are going to try and send a signal out tonight, i'm in Dublin.

Can anyone confirm this? not willing to take the risk but just wondering if anyone else had heard anything?

And how do you suppose they'll do that??!! And destroy their own equipment! Don't be ridiculous mate. Urban legend as has rightly been said. These boxes have no talkback nor can a signal be sent to damage the equipment. And I didn't mean to sound insulting sorry but it's just nonsense rumour.

I can guarantee tis is NOT bullshit
N*L DO want every pirate box turned off.
If 10,000 SVU4 boxes were unplugged tonight
from 100 upwards will never work again
due to "invalid box" bootloader problem

No I heard its going to be tonight, and they are going to blow up all the kettles, and the electric toasters, and microwaves as well, in fact the national grid is going to be effected as well, wow we aren't we going to be lucky.

All very funny captions there lads ,made me laugh like a child ,
I wish they would send a signal to my old starview box so it would work again ,Hope the rumour doesnt start that your box sends them a signal back, that would make a few brick it never mine the box
