Your right millions and theres no way there going to let it happen if it does get cracked there just keep changing things,i think the end is nere,i hope not but cant see them spending all this money and letting people get free tv again,they will lose so much coz i for 1 will switch to sky.

Me aswell

P.S If vermin was going to do it , the millions spent on adverts is a pointless exercise .


Branson will look for a buyer and wash his hands of the problem.

The encryption change will happen. And I think it already has. My subbed box last night came up with a error message saying my card is invalid. I have not ahd myuch time to look into it. and I have a Royal mail special delivery missed note (could be something else) but I know that other people have started to receive replacement cards and im wondering if this one is mine. Gonna call Virmin later

The change is happening as written into the contract with Sly when we got the Sly channels back was to have the encryption changed to something more solid as Sly did not want there channels being viewed for free. So as discussed ealier it may be NDS encryption to the fact that Sly want this to be secure as most people do not like Virmin but only suffer with it because they get the channels for free Though NDS has been hacked and there is solutions out there to get Sly for free, well only one and its the biggest pain the the arse to do no one bothers with it
