Default entering keys every day?

I wonder if this is the way it will be now for dbox peeps. Entering keys every day doesnt really bother me, but what about when im at work? theres no way my missus will be able to do it! My boy needs the cartoons during the day! im sure there are many guys who know what im saying. When theres no cartoons he acts up, this upsets the missus and when i get in after a hard days work, shes a grumpy cow! lol

If you really need it so bad, you should pay Virgin Media for a subscription- Problem solved.

if your dbox is networked and you are prepared to leave on your computer then why not set up a vnc server on your home machine. forward your ports to it on the router.

that way you can connect to your dbox through this pc from any internet connection in the world.

couple of quid a year in electricity and no headache from the wife

am totally in the same boat. but despite what virgin think, if i can't get the dbox working again, we'll leave them and go to sky - if we do have to pay, might as well get the beter deal. don't think virgin know that this is the only reason we're with them
