Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

No matter how much i would love to agree and see the network reliability increase due to having no flashed / chiped tv, modems etc..

Quite frankly it aint the end... The new 50meg modem ( Ambit 300 ) call it what u want, has all ready been hacked, flashed and is last years news & currently on use with virgin network... theres actually a few being used in the west mid's area.

And no they dont need no stupid mac codes now either.. encrypted config files wont do virgin no good either.

So The war continues :(

Dnt ask me to provide proof either as you wont get none!

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Because the next gen platform modems have not been hacked at all, FACT

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Well im sure we cud all argu the tosh.... But we shall wait and see :)

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Yes, we shall.:)

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

thats debatable isnt it?

Family pack VM 21.50 Sky 23 VM wins
Family pack + movies and sports 21.50 + £27.50 = 49 Sky 48.50 Sky wins
VM would also win on free HD content with V+ with the extra tuner but I think the lack of content negates that a little so in all fairness its around a draw

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

I was actually referring to the lower packages

M+ TV no phoneline price is £11.50

TV L TV no phoneline price is £16

Both of these are cheaper than Sky's minimum of £18

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

you didnt actually specify a criteria lol I think content wise Sky beat VM myself also having experienced all the boxes Sky also beat VM on quality

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

I would agree Sky`s box is much easier to use, & has the edge on quality, sky`s packages fall down because you need a BT line, & that ups the price.

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Well I tried SKY and had 3 boxes in 3 months and cancelled the contract due to them breaching it due to lack of service and the engineers taking much to long to arrive, minimum 7 days, and of course come 12 months they want to charge you for an engineer visit.

Never again.

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

In all fairness I would imagine VM charge a premium if you dont take a phone line with their tv

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Not to bad if you look at Ben's figures.http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/34902699-post1.html

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

and thats more expensive than Skys Family pack ok its cheaper if you do not want all the packages. Please note if you source your box privately ie cheaply on ebay you do not need a phone line with a Sky box. Also you are only contracted through the box deal to have a phone line attached for 12 months.

Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 

Does anyone have the telephone number to report these dodgy buggers, I've not seen the advert on the tv and have checked as many of the posts on this thread as I can. (stuck at work with gaffer moaning)

I know someone that had the standard service installed then purchased a dodgy one for £110, he's always bragging about getting every single channel, really really cheeses me off as many of us actually pay for our services.
