Illegal digital TV boxes discovered in house
MORE than 250 illegal digital television set-top boxes were discovered when police raided a house.
Officers attended the Wigan Computer Fair at the Robin Park Arena on Wednesday, March 12 where a man was arrested for selling free-to-air set-top boxes that had been modified in order to receive digital subscription channels for free.
A house in Leighton Drive, Leigh, was then searched in connection with the operation and a woman was also arrested.
In total 254 boxes were recovered, along with nearly £4,000 in cash, three computers and financial documents.
The 58-year-old woman and 56-year-old man, arrested under the Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988 have been bailed until August 5.
The error in the headline has now been corrected. Many thanks for your comments - Internet Editor Chris Sudlow

I don't work for the BN so my spelling errors are not important, but for the Editor's of the BN, you would expect the spelling to be 100%, give or take a few minor errors but not on a daily basis

We now know that you are just a professional moaner with nothing of interest to say.

Marty - you're bloody moaning at me when you yourself are moaning. How on earth do my spelling errors tell you what kind of person I am? Ok then, if you are being like that you are being picky and obviously a moaner yourself as you are moaning at me!

You felt compelled to berate BN editors for their spelling. In doing so you made a complete fool of yourself. Don't blame me for that. Think first. Write later.
