The End is nigh! Or it's not nigh? Choose.

[Gigglingfool]

Forgive me folks. For I am a noob.

I have been trawling these forums (and others) as I have recently been given an SV 5 - and having paid for cable service for years thought I'd have a go.

Obviously - as with all learing curves - things start off bumpy - but then improve.

I am confused though - is the end nigh? Via nagra 3 - or is this a load of bunkum ? Is the future to be blank or is it to be spent re-tuning every time one wishes to partake?

Noob or not - I think we should be told. Or at least start a row about it.

Cheers!

Well, all cable in Ireland is securily encrypted now, Leeds area in the UK is the same - so make your own mind up now!

the end is nigh when n3 come your sv5 box will only get free channels no fix no rescanning just enjoy it while it last

So i guess there will be no way around this ? New software or firmwares ?

You are guessing correctly, maybe be a work around with c/s payservers but, I , personally would not go down that route!

[deldoy]

The work around is already there. Theres a commercial C/S server setup for cable! But at ?40 a month for the full package (pron, asian footy etc) I dont see the freeloaders shelling out that much for "free" tv.

Plus I'm sure virgin have a way of dectecing packets which would suggest someone is C/s, especially considering most people have their BB with them too.

dont think so m8, vm have been doing alot of messing about with transmission parameters and so on so just do a rescan and hopefully your channels will come back.

If the codes changed, you would be only able to view free channells, eg BBC. Everything else would be scrambled! Good advise given by 'mdt'!
