    Virgin media boxes?

    I have the Eurovox and today received the new smart card from Virgin, meaning the end of the road for my eurovox. Funny thing is though with the last 2+ years with the box I have yet to come across anything on virgin media that I will miss. All sports I get through the internet via justin.tv or myp2p or the like and movies i download from sites before they get released on DVD. The adult channels are embarrassing and so I really cant see how I will be missing anything.

    Anyway.........
    My question is this. My friend has a chipped/hacked/modded/whatever genuine VM box and not the eurovox or similar, his box uses the smart card so will his box still work when nagra 3 hits or is he in the same boat as the rest of us or does he have an advantage because it is an offical VM box ??

      Exactly, it's only when I got all the channels did I realise that its the freeview ones I watch all the time.

        no there is no advantage it being a vm box it is the card that unlocks the encryption and whoever updates the card will now be unable to do it.

          Just noticed that my old smart card the one i have had for more than a year also says Nagravision Kudelski group. so if that car was also a nagra card why are we all worrying so much about this one? the only other difference is the old card had nagra ID VG-02 and the new has nagra ID VG-04 what if any relevance that is i have no idea.

            vm use nagra encryption, there are different versions the old card was cracked so they changed to a new version which is not.

                I hate to slate a fellow bluenose, but afaik there is no script to open a nagra 3 card. Nevermind an image to write to the card after its cracked. Nagra 3 has been around much longer in the sat scene and the hackers there are amongst the best in the world.

                So if there is a script then please post it here, as I and most other members would be interested in seeing it. Also what unlooper is it running on?
