just checked my mail from this week and had a letter from virgin with a new smart card, looks like its almost over for newcastle too.......

time to get reading about this sat stuff, lol!!!!!!

hi there it is already off in sunderland and is there deaf no cure for it as i am getting sick of real deals etc or is it off to sat and i will find dish somewhere round the doors, getting suicidal forby

no cure mate, unfortunately, 1 day maybe but not yet im sure of that...

it hasnt went off as yet in newcastle, just issuing the new n3 stream cards out, im not really clued up on it all, but thought id let people know iv received mine, so its not gunna be long from what i gather off other peoples theads.

once you receive the card from virmin, its normally 3 to 4 weeks then its off!

By the way, Any body know what is happned to SATKINGS.
I think SATKING will have the answer to your problem.

I got my card about 2 weeks ago ... i am in middlesbrough

my channels have went off sometime today, and another 4 of my friends boxes aswell..... virmin the bastards, lol!!!!!!

oh dear, i'll be getting a call from my bro-in-law who said "n3 is a myth/too expensive for VM"

mwwahahahahahahah

hahaha, not sure if its that though mate as most the premiums have gone off but theres still a few on like bravo and stuff, which i dont think is a freeview channel!!

1 > 5 should be left, maybe a handful of others - but defo not Bravo. Once it's started it only takes 2 or 3 days to complete the big switch off!

i don't mind paying... for now! will see how things develop - can't beat the broadband for me though, almost more important than the telly! my dm is back in it's box being stored incase i need a c/s server or something at some point

well my bravos still on at the minute aswell as dave, gold and a few others so god knows whats going on, all the rest probably the same.

do they switch the channels off all at once or do like section by section.
