Default V+ Box from eBay - will it work with VM Fun Card?

Hi, i was looking to buy an V+ box of eBay and was wondering will it work in my house with my existing VM viewing card on M package?

If not what options do I have?

Cheers

Unless its modded, no and you cant mod it unless you know the BK. If you live in Leeds, Harrogate or York, definitely no.Its also not worth the money at the moment.

Oh, and if you do phone VM up, say I bought a receiver(HD) and I want multiroom, they'll probably make you rent it at a high cost because its HD, so is it really worth your while?

Ive seen a V+(modded) for £300 lol! Thats sky high from a person who sells them regularly. Even then, they're probably nicked from the back of a van

Is it for sale in your area as if not the netid will be different and you need that replaced which someone can do put will increase the cost as they to buy a new chip and then install it.
