V+ on demand - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hi there, I'm new here and have a question regarding my V+ hd box. It's been chipped and I've been receiving all channels for the last few months, including on-demand which was great. Today the on-demand has stopped working, just telling me that it's unavailable. All other channels still work fine. Does anyone know why this is, have Virgin changed some settings in my area? Grateful for any help. Thanks

Hi again,
You would need to tell the lads where you are from, what is you location, without it they will not be able to say if there has, or has not, been any changes in your area. I am not being down on you, just trying to help.

Very best regards Wez

thanks for the responses, I'm in North-west London if that helps. Do you need more info? A bit worried when you say I could be blacklisted, can they trace it back to me if I have used on-demand?

Well, not knowing much about cable ( I have a normal subbed V-Box), but one has to assume that the box has to talk back to the network in order to tell it what programmes you want. Futhermore, I think it is safe to assume that Virgin Media would be able to detect that you are doing so.

ok thanks, I'm bricking it now! In everyone's experience do Virgin follow up with these things and go to the property to investigate?

It isnt your rented box you've modded is it ?

jjdynomite · 02-04-08, 11:53 PM

Thats not so bad then ,as it doesnt hold your details,account no etc,
you need to disable your talkback , easiest way is a reverse path noise blocker from fleabay.

good stuff, I just did a search for a reverse path noise blocker on ebay but got no results. Anywhere else I could get hold of one? Thanks again for your help.
