They smugly inform me that this new secure encryption rumour is just a diabolical scam by VM and that the new cards have already been cracked. Their contact for dodgy boxes has promised them a fix for any missing channels as soon as his brother-in-law's mate gets a couple of minutes to knock out some of his revised magic cards. :D

I know someone who said he was going to buy a chipped box a month ago. I told him he might get a month or 2 out of it at the most. Like an idiot - he still went and spent £100 on it with promises that 'it will never go off' Have we any <snigger> smileys?

Anyway - It's a good job there are pictures of the boxes on the letter as the 2nd Sammy box hasn't even got a serial number that even vaguely matches the one on the letter :-/

When you pull the card out the number displayed on the screen should match the one on the letter. Did it not?

I wish they would hurry up as the World Cup is getting ever closer and I want as many illegal boxes as possible to go down by then.:D:D:D

Surely it would be more fun if VM waited and turned them off the day before it all starts, they could all run around like a flids trying to sort something out. :D

Well if they have the connection it is easier to get them on board as a paying customer with a direct debit and a legit box.:D
