jimbo · 26-02-08, 02:47 PM

rumours possible, we have seen them many many times.

There are always rumours about this but saying that the last big rumour said that it was meant to happen February/March so who knows.

Probably nothing to worry about because these things are fairly regular

if you remember the big hit in nov 2006, nobody got told then so i dont think they would slip it out now

We are overdue for a slight encryption change, the last one was May 2007.

Think they hit ex cwc last night/early hours of this morning, both my boxes had re-booted, but are ok. Using au funcard 4 in both.

Whats all this 'switch' business?
I gather its an attempt by the cable providers to alter the encryption of their channels in the hope that it nullifies boxes like Eurovox? Is this correct?
If so, am i to be concerned? I have a Eurvox V 2008 which i bought from Lincsat in january.

yeahwotever · 27-02-08, 11:41 AM

These boxes can be re-flashed, so no probs lol
