Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Why would they? Fault diagnostics is the same whether there are 2 or 20 HD channels. So they get told the same time as everyone else

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take it you're kidding!
Because why would they
A) Take the time to make a "joke" video (WITH Computer animation no less) about new VM cards AND
B) Spend the money to hire Martin Freeman (of The Office fame) to do the voice-over!
Yeah... must be a wind up

I tend to agree.... Also if somebody was to go to those lengths, then surley there would be some punchline.
Still you never know. When it all turns out to be a mega wind up and I believed it, wont I feel foolish....... probably not to be honest.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
In regrads to the new cards i asked this on twitter and also posted the link as well :
devilincarnate0: @virginmedia Is it true that you are sending new cards out for custs ? http://bit.ly/g3vlX
And this is the reply that i got back :
virginmedia: @devilincarnate0 Yes; more information will be supplied in the coming weeks. AA
so it looks like that it is true !

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Virgin have already said they would be replacing the Conditional Access system (Which is what the Smartcards are). However it seems this video have been posted way in advance of that happening.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I can now confirm the card change is happening.
An Virgin viewer has told me that Virgin are testing the advert posted on youtube on one of their test channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
CS can't even give you the right price on a package let alone tell you about the security cards. They will probably find out the day customers start calling in saying that their card doesn't work.
I would suspect that it is a few months of as you don't want to do such a large scale project just before Christmas. Or perhaps they will do some small areas before to test the roll out.
Although I have been with cable for over 10 years and can't recall them ever changing the card except when changing STB.
