    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.
