This snippet has just reappeared on the BBC site thanks to an article on urban myths .
The rumour started when Ford stated some 2006-07 Focus models would feature SIRIUS Satellite radio as a factory-installed option.
It was thought a misunderstanding occurred because Sky Digital picked up digital radio, then the chip must also pick up digital television.
Thieves believe that the non-existent chip can be put in a satellite receiver to pick up channels without subscription.
