i heard that in a few months these boxes wont work anymore has anyone else heard that? im getting worried...

[sworthian]

I have just joined dk forum to get some background knowledge as I have been given a DM500C, but have seen on this (and other forums) that it is highly likely that VM will change to Nagra3 encryption next year. If this happens what would be the advantage of a cablebox compared to a freeview box?

[magood]

Thank you very much. But is this image safe? I mean without a bomb
thank you again
