There not rumours. Not sure about the roll out for all of the North West but it will not be that far off.

Speaking of rumours, I was speaking to a chap last night who has a dodgy box and he said he will just get a chipped card when his box goes off

But I thought N3 couldnt be bypassed, or at least not yet anyway.

I do hope he was talking a load of old twaddle

Oh he was definitely talking twaddle, N3 is still secure.

Let the fun begin.

There is NO card hack for N3. It has been used in Europe and the states for 3 years now and its still secure. There are traders out there that are desperate to sell there remaining stock and most are about to be left with boxes that are useless

You can point and laugh especially when the messages start to come on the screen asking him to call up, and finally the last message which cannot be removed again asking them to call up if they want service.

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down

As i posted earlier we got the pop up and then the new cards, then there was a article in the local paper warning people about people buying dodgy boxes.

So all i have to say on the subject is pay for your services you [Mod Edit (Rob M): Removed].

We are all laughing at you sad gits now we cann all watch the world cup in HD on virgign and by natural methods.

Hope this offends all the people that have been stealing services who look at the forum

the new transport streams have been running along side the old ones in bolton for a couple of months now.bolton is now, (AT LEAST), on the official list for card posting but as yet not given a date.

after that its the 1st channel drop,followed by the 2nd drop (usually a week later) then,barring any complete failures,the old transport streams get ditched then the new streams,supported by nagra3 take over broadcast wholly,and its goodbye to all the thievin spongin g***y basterds!!!

Good, I guessed as much when a message flashed up on the screen about new cards the other morning when I switched the box on.

Now maybe people with chipped boxes will start to believe what I've been telling them since before Christmas!
