Default Worth geting Star View?

Hi

Is it worth getting a star view box now or wait until all the changes are done by virgin media and new fix is available.

Thank you

best to wait and see what happens about virgin issuing new nagra 3 cards and the change of encryption. According to most it looks like your box will be of no use after the change.

I'll give you a definitive answer.YES.
why wait for nag whatever,the longer you wait the nearer it gets
reasons,SV box £100 tops with all the goodies.
S*y sub £60+ a month for min 12months if new customer for same goodies not including ESPN.
worse scenario 1 month out of box(highly unlikely)or £60 a month to s*y.
And when eventually NAG/IPTV or whatever comes in you still got a box which shows freeview channels.Thats the gamble

hi, mate, heaviley guy for 27 years. dont know any local sellers. believe they do at smithfield market but probably same as bowlers. got all mine from places on this site. no probs with any. fast delivery..
still waiting for word on new vermin cards in stockport but think it will be at least 6 months...but only a guess. so worth a gamble for £80/90 . cheers
ps do you know where the "great moor pier" is???
