The recent news update states the catch hold of three men for a digital TV fraud.

The accused named Dilawer Dudhwala, Imran Khansia, and Rafiq Dudhwala were all sentenced at Preston Crown Court to serve a term of fourteen years.

The group was held responsible for reprogramming set top boxes that permitted users to access the full Virgin Media pay TV service without paying any charge whatsoever.

The Police raid resulted in extraction of close to two hundred set top boxes.

It was supposedly believed that the equipment was awaiting its delivery to the users who like to watch pay TV services, but do not like to pay up for the service.

The police warns the consumers that using the modified equipment to receive subscription digital TV channels without paying the charges is a serious crime and will invite criminal charges against those who practice this.
