Switching your Smart Card



Why are you sending me a new card?

We're about to upgrade the technology of your Virgin TV set top box so you can benefit from more improvements, more security and more of the good stuff fibre optic technology brings.

whay channelis this on on a starview any 1 seen it

This stunt by Vermin is not going to help them, the majority of folk using third party boxes are paying at least ?20 pm.

What they going to do ? trade the thousands of people paying ?20 pm for nothing ?

[smirnoff_rules]

my kids r screwing that they might have to watch freeview channels after 10 years ,,

time to move to sky me thinks before the rush

or after 10 years of min subs l might pay for 50 mb 2 extra boxes and xxl?

[waqasahmed]

never! They have pretty much shot themselves in the foot. Ofcom said(or are going to say) that Sky have to sell to VM as long as VM will pay for the content and Sky cant do anything about that. More people will just move to Sky. VM would lose more customers this way. I would just ignore Sky's threats as ultimately they shall win, not VM

[mindcrime]

well if it is the end (which i doubt), it's been one hell of a ride !!

[mickarick]

I dont know if its the end but i fear its going to a be a long time m8s

It would be funny if they move over to IPTV/N3 and then find out they're losing a lot more money with people not subscribing than if they were pirating, to switch back to n1 One can dream

well there gonna lose my 23 quid a month,even thou i have some freebies with them.

[DIGILUV]

I have to agree. When this happens, and it's looking likely, I'll switch over to Sky.

In Ireland, UPC have seen an increase in subs since they introduced N3.

So alot of people wont go to the bother of switching to sky, and the extra subs could even out the losses of the people who do go to sky.

also cable co like UPC, virgin can compete with sky with there package deal ie , tv + Super fast BB + Phone bundle, something sky cannot do for near the same price.

After 10 years of using a open system its time they have to be seen to stepup and secure there network instead of being the laughing stock of Europe.

The cat got let out of the bag by a VM employee, its not Nag3 but a variation of it whatever that means. I think its to do with IPTV now Cisco have finished installing headend kit to the Vm network. We will have to wait and see what the state of play is when implemented and find a workround. Not much on tv anyway other than repeats and american crap, not worth paying out good money for, film not worth the extra ?20 odd quid per month or sports, can get them on my sat system. Freview and Freesat are the best option as they have and will have more HD channels soon and if you get a third party sat box you can pick up many more channels on the astra bird than Freesat official box.
