Hello fellow members...fresh news just in...virgin will be disabling all boxes in 2months time...a new system much like the mobile fone blocking system will be used which will fry the motherboard in unregistered boxes...the only boxes untouched will be authentic virgin boxes like the pace,virgin,virgin + and samsung boxes...
also,i have been told,that the dbox will be the only other box available that wont be affected..
the source of this latest info,is from an insider....so,looks like we'll be all turning to satellite dishes instead!!!over 3000 channels available...

We hear stories on here like that all the time, what will be will be but to what you say,

The blocking system used for mobile phones IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity number) is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and can be used to stop a stolen phone from accessing the network, It blacklists the mobile phone, it doesn't fry the motherboard! also how can they distinguish what box you are using and then disable it as it has no talk back facility. I'm not going to get into this and nor I or anyone else can guarantees to whether these receivers will work OK for the next coming year or so but I doubt that this is what the CC will be doing to disable the use of these receivers in the next couple of months. Like you said mate, time will tell.

Another reliable source story. have not had one in about 3 weeks !
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

I would be more concerned about the quality of the Virgin Engineers if that is what they are telling their friends.

You do know that if virgin did 'fry' any of these 'illegal' boxes it would actually be an illegal action by virgin.
The boxes that can be modified to pick up premium channels can also be used as 'normal' digital boxes.
If virgin do take the action as you have stated, I will be contacting my lawyers and they will have a field day

Have you any idea of electronics ?
What you have proposed is sheer nonsense.
