Don't shoot the messager - but VM have a freephone number to report known cases of VM fraud - 0800 096 7800.

Perhaps if they offered a reward of free V+ install and subs for 3/6 months?

No need to change recievers/cards, it the encryption system thats changed, but of course, you already know that.


"KR*******" boxes have been on since yesterday (so i've heard) and have not went off. did not require a manual key change or anything. new emu's are being made so away u go with ur scare tactics :)

There is always a way around the key change (worse luck) but it wont be long until Virgin figures out a way to make it harder for none payers :)

What Virgin need to do is stop people on their isp from accessing certain sites that offer the keys :dozey:

Far as i am concerned anything that VM do to upset the thieving "insert appropriate words here" that steal cable is ok by me. I hope they keep it up all the time and make the thieving "insert appropriate words here" lives a misery. :tu: to VM
