That's ok and glad yer responded to this in a decent way.

But please yer gotta be more specific and make sure yer know the exact issues yer having instead of saying all ntl boxes died.
Jam
Could you help me at all buddy? No problems, I appreciate that you must get annoyed with noobs:P. Basically, I know of 3 people with NTL original boxes, which have died in the area. What information would you need/like to see how we can sort this outt?

Much appreciated.

Hi, do the cards in the boxes have a picture of a man and do they say 4th generation at the bottom?

Did the four of you get your cards done by the same person?

No need to check, you have a Modified Original Smart Card.

When the cards are written, there is an expiry date. You will need to have this value changed. Traders nomally put an expiry date so that they can charge people to fix their card.

You can do it your self. The kit is less than £20 provided the cards are not locked.

Best thing is to download the cable guide and read up. There are many here who will help you if/when you get stuck

Additionally, we are in the wrong section by the way. This is the Eurovox section.

Good luck

To answer your original question, the Eurovox's will only go down once VM implements nagra 3/IPTV or when we take the next hit
