What are the options now for Virgin customers

Had an old clone starview box for over 3 years so got my money's worth, never flashed it (too technical for me) just updated the codes received from the net. Looks like my area has gone off today, kids are gutted, disney cahnnels were constantly on the two boxes.

What are the options for watching subscriptions channels or even premium channels, is it just to pay up now because i can't afford that!

Is there a satellite dish option or is it just keep fingers crossed that some time in future the codes are cracked?

 

In short, you will be paying up, with either a sub from them or if you go the sat and CS way, you will pay for your "share", there are a load of posts on sharing etc.

 

Wat area do you live in? i wanna know wat areas are switched of so i may get an idea when mine will go. i get my feed fae uddingston

 

look at the nagra 3 and where we stand thread, all covered already

 

thanks mickah, have you got any links to these threads so i can start to have a look for when the inevitable happens, seems like today was a false alarm anyway, re-scanned the box and all ok for now, never known every single channel go blank before

 

Hi johnvig/ u are lucky to still have ur, channels for >NOW<
IN NI & the UK > ALL Provider should be going Fully over to Nagravision 3
Later This Year
SO enjoy it while it lasts.
OK.johnvig.

 

thanks for the post mickah, when i read it the 1st time i did not even know what cs meant!

i have looked around this and other sites and my word i know what it means now, you and some of the other addicts know your stuff, sounds great but it is unbelievably complex, i'll be keeping my fingers crossed that years down the line someone will crack n3

i'll get the playing cards and board games out for the kids !

 

fingers crossed, only time will tell. i have faith in the big boys at the top of the ladder...

 

So., download a plugin and add 4 lines to a config file is too complicated. Hmmmm

 

the thing is fintannl, to a lot of people the terminology on these threads is double dutch, once someone is shown something fair enough, problem is i do not know anyone who card shares in my area

 

Tiz true. I spent two yeras working in the dark. Couldn't really understand what people were saying. So, lets start at the beginning. To help I need to know your current config

 

hi fintannl, all i have got is an original starview box, possibly a clone, with it's original software 2.57e, boot version 7 !! i have no software on pc for this, never flashed anything, just updated codes manually - i know, a bit of a lost cause aren't i !!

 

John, think fintanni was on about a different box mate, the SV boxs are comin to the end of their life on cable, as I advised earlier you are looking at a different option

 

Sorry, but Mickah is spot on. I thought you had a different type of box. The older starview models are coming to end of life. Sorry I can't help. However do feel free to browse other threads and see what your alternatives are

 

no worries, thanks for your time fintannl, keep up the good work

 

so is there any other alternative apart from cs

 

no m8.. unless you pay and i quess you dont want to do that..

 

reason everyone subscribes to forums like this aint it lol

 

There is another way but it's IKS and also cannot be spoken about here.

 

hi how can i find out aboutthe other way and how much is cs
