    Contrary to some opinions, the codes DO NOT CHANGE DAILY. They only roll when Virgin decide to!

    I believe this is an expensive job for them and can be weekly or monthly. There does not seem to be any pattern to this though. I must say that if it was me in charge, I would be rolling daily and would pick my moments such as peak viewing times and football matches etc.

    Anybody in the know , know how much it costs and why is not a regular occurence.

    There was a time last april when they decided to roll the codes 8 times in one day.

    So yes it is when they decide, but it is not necessarily weekly, monthly etc.

    They also have a new ROM change method of doing it also, so expect it to be much more frequent and as eva has said they have rolled 8 times in one day, and they do roll at the special times you mentioned, but time enough to talk about it when and if they succeed in knocking everyone off, and you can't really blame them for trying now can you.

    In the region of £300k a time in the UK.. a lot of money in my eyes(it came from a very good source by the way)

    Yes, it seems to go up in cost every time someone mentions it, maybe it's the credit crunch, doubt it, but it has trebled in 3 months by the way they just went again 1hr 20mins ago, lol - and it is always from someone that knows someone that has a friend who's mate works for etc. etc. Best leave them to it.
