From the 2 forums i watch i can tell you they were all complaining at the cable company for removing there free TV. I say excellent lets hope VM do it as well.

One of them wants to sue the cable company, because he cannot use his dodgy box that he paid good money for. :rolleyes: :D

Re: Virgin Media to rollout new IPTV platform

this definitely signals the beginning of the end for dodgy cable boxes.

I just hope they get the new set top box/middleware correct this time.

Slow channel changes/turgid vod loading times, bigger hard drives all absolutely HAS to be perfected this time.:soapbox:

Also lets have this asap so we can watch the thieving scummy types over here crying over there dead boxes :LOL:

Looking at another site (beginning with a T) apparently card sharing and some linux based boxes can combat Nagra 3

That has not been confirmed to be honest. BTW is that site down at the moment ?

Re: Virgin Media to rollout new IPTV platform

Ah cool they've finally announced this, it's been a work in progress for ages.

This will, simply, end theft of TV as it is right now. It'll free huge amounts of bandwidth on the coaxial network too.

It'll also be good for the internet side of the service as that will benefit from some network upgrades on the return path. This service needs a return path to work, no return path no TV.

Re: Virgin Media to rollout new IPTV platform

Dunno on timescales.

As for new STBs I doubt it - otherwise why else would Virgin continue to install the existing stock?

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 11:10.
