Never believe a rumour until it's officially denied.
Has anyone tried to access http://www.virginmedia.com/smatrcards/ yet? Maybe I'm just jumping the gun and it's not an official page for public consumption yet.
Anyway, Sky have been issuing new cards, chorus:ntl (upc) in Ireland have already done so therefore one would expect VM to follow suit fairly soon.
I've never had my ntl: branded card changed even when I had a replacement STB so I guess I'm due a shiny new one. I don't know why, but it has £32.00 credit on it. I think money does come off it if you buy a movie but is then miraculously credited back at some stage. I wonder if I bought ten movies in one day / month if it would say I was out of credit.
Yes, postal disputes and Christmas are likely to interfere with any planned rollout of smartcards but I imagine that a goal of year end would still seem desireable and achievable to VM.
I don't know if any of this applies to FreeSat or FreeView as none of their programming is encrypted but I imagine they still have viewing cards in the boxes. |
