    Has Virgin Media gone down in Birmingham?

    My Dreambox / VM connection went down last night. Is anybody else in the Birmingham area experiencing problems?

    All channels were working OK up until last nigh when everything went down. Now all channels, (including BBC1, ITV etc), now show a message, "service could not be found".

    Alternately, some transmission data shows eg on BBC1, a small red box appears with BBC1 and 96% over 41% in the left hand corner and a symol I cant make out in the right.

    Has my box failed or has VM done something dastardly at their end?

    Is there a fix?????

          VM must have done something since both my dreambox and digivox arent displaying any channels.

                    'N3 alert' is referring to the impending switch to Nagra 3 encryption.

                              It means the N3 streams are now active in your area.

                              Watch out for those new cards.
