Cable Forum - View Single Post - Need Help! Looking for Jerrold Cable Equipment on Virgin Media Networks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone across the UK could tell me if Virgin Media are, or ever did, use the Jerrold Decoder system to encrypt their analogue television networks?

This system would have been widely used on cablenets since the late 80's, and is still used today in some parts of the world.

If possible, I need to know where they were used geographically, and which companies operated them if prior to Virgin Media. Also, is there anywhere that they are still operational in the UK?

And most importantly, does anyone know where I could source this equipment which includes, the Jerrold decoder (550 Model), the MVP encryption units, and the Jerrold Addressable Control Computer (ACC-2000)?

Alot of this equipment would have been decommisioned from Cable headends, during the Analogue to Digital changeover.

Thanks!
