I can't answer that fully as some providers don't mind as long as they know you're doing so, However VM do not as it says in their T&Cs.
But I myself have connected unauthorised equipment in the past (when it was all analogue & scrambled) & had no complaints as long as what you're using doesn't send too much noise back down the cable you should be fine.

I doubt any of the services are FTA, I suppose you could take your card out & see which ones still work, does VM even use cards anymore? :p.

I can't even get mine to tune to DVB-T2 (Mine is the revision 1 Astrometa Stick though).

I remember using an analogue tuner on the cable network years ago (when it was possible to use software to descramble the video!) at 3am and found a poorly hidden channel that was basically a desktop screen used for monitoring the network for the area, whoever was using this machine was looking at porn.
I can't for the life of me think of why anyone would do this on a machine that has its screen broadcast across the network!
It wasn't even good porn..
