Which seems to be the conclusion i'm coming across on forums, not like the good old cable boxes you just plugged the module in between the cabling

Okay thanks, so anyone who buys one now is buying an expensive doorstop ??!!

they have been out for years so wonder why virgin are just changing now surely they have known about these boxes for a very long time have they not ?? appreciatte that they had to be updated every so often but from what I understand this was all done easy enough and was not enough in itself to render the boxes unusable.

From what i've read, they do versions for Sky and Cable, Cable is more downloading codes and the Sky version is Card Sharing.

you dont have to put codes in anymore there is self cracking firmware which does it automatically, yes in the next few months no more dodgy cable for anyone in the uk
