    Dear All,

    Is anyone else experiencing a sudden change to their eurovox box? All channels i.e. sky sports, movies, MTV etc has the "please insert a smart card". This is the first time it has happened to me and i have been using this for a few years now. I have read some on the forums within afterdawn but it does not help.

    I have ran the deep scan and even re-set it back to factory default and performed a power scan with Full mode. I am in North London and used Telewest previously and have been able to update the codes successfully. No updated codes are available from my findings.

    Has virgin upgraded their services to block these boxes? Please HELP!

    time for your box to go to the box heven you have been changed over to nagra 3 so your box will no longer work.

    You will need to buy a new box now so plenty of info on here about them

    Will this new box you suggested work with the N3? Never was a fan of Starview. I was more into the Euro vox. is there one that work for Euro vox, if so do you have a link where i can purchase one from?

    I have already joined the FB group. Have you got one of these? does it work similar to the eurovox? I will have to do more reading before i invest in one.
