[stussy_daz]

hello people and may i say firstly thanks for any help in advance

i have a pace telewest box ( no idea what model i will look tonight as im in office at mo )

was chipped by a worker of the formention firm above who i cannot contact anymore

was working fine until sat night

switched off as per normal then switch on again sunday morn and tellin me im not suscribed to any channels

i have been checking virgin webiste and say's that ppl in area close ( postcode not exact but very close ) have lost tv and broadband etc and engineers are working

but i have funny feeling i have been # zapped # ( only wording i can think for it !!

only thing thats weird is i was # zapped # when vigin took over telewest and i lost everything and box would not even start up

this time i can c a few channels

so reason for hunting down this forum is to find out is there anyway of anybody gettin hold a new card / box for me ??

or is there any checks i can do myself that will tell me if i have been # zapped #

if so please let me know what you good people need from me to be able to help

cheers again

What equipment do u have for the comp?

what does your card look like?

Provide this information and ppl can provide more help.

The Pace 4000 boxes are easy to do.

If you can afford a Eurovox u might be best going with that option.

If you want the feeling of PRIDE at being able to do something then your gonna need to invest in some equipment to a cple of cards.

Personally I prefer the 2nd option .... The family love me being able to do boxes .... The kids want one each for their bedrooms so they can watch cartoons.

is there noway somebody can just bang out a card for me and i'll pay em !

hiya stussy daz, i've been reading the forums for a couple of weeks, and trust me the info is out there. Some really helpful people on here....not like a few other forums i shan't mention.
I've just ordered a eurovox off the guy on here who's always recommended.
I've also ordered a dynamite+ card programmer and a couple of fun cards ( cost you about £40 total)which you can programme yourself...again all the info is on the forums when your post-count is high enough...and even if you get stuck, i get the impression there's much help to be offered.

So far reddiesel has been really helpful to me so give my posts a read.

top-tip and its free....if you already have a 'modified' box, chances are it has some info written on it already. Namely, your boxkey and ird, these will be 2 sets of numbers containing a combination of numbers and letters.
If you've got this info, then thats the info you'll need to programme your funcards.
good luck and keep looking in on my posts cos i'm probably just a couple of weeks ahead of you on the same subject.

thanks jonathan

to be honest i just want me box up and running and if i could pay somebody to sort card would then lookinto learning myself
