There was on when the 20meg was roled out.

Why would a rollout schedule be needed or even posted?

Your TV will work before you get one, and as long as you swap it when you do get one, your TV will work afterwards

Thanks for posting that Sirius as the link wouldn't load before.

Some interesting things being posted over at techwatch regarding the switch haha

I don't think you are allowed to link to those sorts of sites on here

Noted and corrected

It's funny reading forums about this, seems there's a lot of people in complete denial, I'm sure this guy is posting on most of them:

Am I the only person that takes pleasure in seeing people post about which dodgy box to buy, and getting a long list of recommendations with no one telling them that they'll soon end up with no channels?

Nope I think it's pretty funny too.

I have no pity on the people buying them because imagine how stupid you must be to ask for recommendation on buying a box when every other topic is about how the new encryption will kill the very box your asking for recommendations for

Considering that N3 has been running for 3 years now in other areas and they aint hacked it yet. It's the end for the thieving gits and it makes my day

its been semi cracked but not fully but i doubt they will be gettign many if any channesl now

TheDon · 02-12-2009, 19:33

It hasn't even been "semi cracked".

Hiroki · 02-12-2009, 19:46

It will probably get cracked but that's not to say that it will be anytime soon and hopefully Virgin would have throught ahead to be able to patch any encryption breaches.

TheDon · 02-12-2009, 19:57

There's not really any reason to assume it will ever be cracked. If they've learnt their lessons from previous implementations (which so far it looks like they have) the cards can be as, if not more, secure as NDS.
