Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if it’s possible anymore to receive the PPV channels on the new Virgin Media updated software as before you could receive the PPV channels on the old NTL software. However once the software was updated the PPV channels are no longer available only though the VOD services. So if anybody knows a way to ether downgrade the software or a way to receive the PPV channels could you please let me and others know thanks.

You shouldn't be getting any On demand stuff at all.

Yeah its possible if you only watch the free ppv stuff but as soon as you get the suscribed ppv or videos you will get stopped in a matter of weeks , if you aint gonna cut talkback then only watch free ppv like tv catchup then u should be ok but theres no saying with talkback im not an expert just think about it they can track you wenever talkback is on so be carefull?

I have talkback already cut. However I was just woundering if its possilbe to receive PPV channels as I can't use the VOD services as talkback is cut. While it was NTL you could receive the PPV channels for free once the box was modded. But after Virgin Media came along they no longer have the PPV channels on the TV Guide listings only on VOD services. So therefore if anybody knows how to receive the payable PPV channels please let me know thanks.
