Probably, if your supplier gets their streams from Vigin CS then they will have ti get them from elsewhere, which will then put more stress on those streams

I wonder how many people CS Virjin?

Imagine all those now jumping onto IPTV streaming HD. ISP's will be on overload lol.

Ouside of CS, where else would IPTV providers get their Sly and Bt sports streams?

From Sky

From Sky

How would they do it? Would they have to take out a sub and somehow slingbox the streams??
As you can tell, i haven't a clue lol

Who is on overload ?. I have been here many times before, with both satellite and cable channels.
With D2mac in the 90s, The Den, Toecutters, Trex cams, Titanium and Galaxy smart cards etc. Smart card programmers, nagra3, CS with Zgemma on satellite and now cable. Don’t let Sly and the Premier League grind you down. Web TV is here to stay and cannot be controlled a by big business. We veterans will always find ways of maintaining freedom of access.

I think that there will be ways of watching linear TV i.e. watching a show / sport as it is aired, not sure that it will be so easy just to tune in to a channel and leave it going linearly

 

[akki007]

will SD not just continue to work as normal though? that'll do me!

 

[JonMMM]

If they replace all boxes with cardless ones it will stop everything

Just hope some1 finds a way to share the cardless boxes from sly and virmin. Its new tech at the moment but give it time some1 will crack it

A new member has joined here called @onsitbin what he don't know about cards is no one business have a chat to him

 

[midlandsbassline]

Wonder how long it will be . I was just about to setup someone with virmin aswell until I was told about this , borrowed time I guess

 

[bobbyduke]

Well they have made a few changes this week, noticed channels I edited the pids for the audio problem before had gone black again and any editing at all makes the channels dead, so its seems they have put a stop to that. But a latest image update does still fix it all still. But point is they are getting ready for a change soon for sure.

Just thinking ahead....
With many getting letters/emails about upgrading to non C/S boxes from vermin.
Could anyone in the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND confirm if they have got those letters/emails please?

Motorised satellite has never gone off, there's more up there now & even sky going didn't make that much difference to a lot if you know what's where & in English, linear and can be much higher quality, I wonder IP could end up like roads in London, the US is getting ip trafic problems.
