What a load of pooh! Virgin have just spent millions on new server upgrade and increased basic to 10meg for IPTV, why would the spend money on a new encryption plus fees year on year. If you look at the latest business results VM subscribers are falling as it is, cut off boxes people will cancel packages and go with Sly.

hmmm News of the World, it must be true then... My understanding is that it will take more than just cards it will require new set top box hardware for each subscriber as well... I will not hold my breath on this latest one until i see info from a reputable source...

apparently sky is again threatening V media with a switch off of all sky related channels, sports, movies, sky 1, 2, 3, etc.

These new cards will be rolling new keys dozens of times a day.

will bring you another link shortly

Chipped cards, technology has moved on a bit CS, code rolls 24 every 24hrs? it does now sometimes twice a day! no date on paper, and NTL?. I have not seen any hint of a card issue yet, anybody got one? even so CS. Virgin don't like Sly and visa versa contractual issues, so they tolerate each other UK Tv, living etc. Take virgin off sky they don,t have much, take sky off virgin same. Cards are a thing of the past for cable, card only good for Sat at the mo and not much good for that!
