seems like a bit of a pathetic idea tbh.. knowing that virgin are about to change to N3 & the other 1 for the UK IPTV? or something... ok, they are upgrading there box's for the customers, so they can have a new product and what not. but in reality, shudnt they keep this box behind closed doors, iron out ALL bugs & everything, then when the N3 / IPTV comes along, work on a fix, then release it? i dont know if that makes any sense at all. but at the end of the day this seems like a money making thing, they are doing this to earn money with no thought of the purchasers buying there box? unless however (which is highly unlikely) they already have something up their sleave (ie. nag 3 fix) then this would be great as new customers would buy the box knowing its nag 3 friendly. my view is my view, however its up to customers to do what they want.. if my box packed up now. i would buy a second hand one, i wudnt bother buying new untill the new systems are in place. not worth wasting money (although saving on virgin fees) but you get the drift! anyone expand on this ?
Sorry I have been off for a few days. I expected some negative comments but the whole thread? I do not sell boxes all I was giving was some info on a new box coming to the market. There are plenty of threads berating the fact that Eurovox are not supporting older models, something I too do not consider to be a good ploy. But thats far from my decision so the comments should have joined the 100s of other bad comments on the Eurovox threads, that are already there. As I said what I done was give out info. Its not a sales pitch, you choose to buy or not to buy. But as I said I understand.
lol, i dont think the negative comments are nailed against u mate, atleast, mine wasnt. mine was nailing eurovox for bringing a new box out so close(??) to the nag / iptv changeover... i think they are completely disragarding the fact that they will be rendered useless as a "Receiver" of such channels. However!! We must all remember, these box's are to receive Free to Air channels ONLY. By factory default. Any modifications to the box's (ok, we know that they are the ones that release the mods) is illegal. So they aren't really doing anything wrong? (even though we know what there for lol) Does anyone have any information / input of this IPTV thing? or is it just hear say?
I wasn't saying that all the negative comments where directed at me. I was saying they have been posted across numerous threads, my one was a review of a new box. IPTV is more likely to happen in the UK. But it was first muted in 2006 and then dropped in 2007. It raised it's head again this year due to a new STB they tested. But given the debt Virgin are in I doubt it will be anytime soon for a change of encryption and/or platform.
scOuser just curious here, is this new box down also? I imagine that it is but thought that I would ask.
