Is there a way to use the sky gift on the Zgemma boxes? Is this ever going to be fixed? i.e. Us receiving sky channels on set-up boxes. Don't want to have anything to do with Sky ever!

Really? ... If they're building a new estate for example, I can understand them cabling the street whilst the groundwork is being sorted but it doesn't seem very cost effective for them to send the engineers / technicians back out to put a terminal into every property without getting anything out of it.
Only time they disconnect now is if more people in your street want it and they have no room left they start removing unsubscribe connections that it is why you would be safer keeping the broadband and the money you would save from the Tv alone would make me take bb to be safeI understand that but I do like to move my bb supplier as you can get some very cheap deals. I.e. Bt last offer £100 gift card and £150 TopCashback 12 month term meant I could get bb and phone for around £6-7 a month equivalent. If it got turned off I could resubscribe. Just wondered about the claims made earlier in the thread
Trents.. You don't need any vermin services to get dodge cable.. Had and still using old telewest feed.. Never had anything from them or vermin when they took over.. what you have to watch for is.. if you had vermin or old telew/NTL etc but not using it and let's say your neighbour wanted genuine vermin.. then if vermin green box is full up then they will use redundant lines first before running new cables.. luckily for me where I live.. telew put TV and phone lines in all 70 houses.. hence 13 years later still going strong.. Heart goes out to sly users.. My pocket money has gone down now.. not good. TedAs I understand it, you need the Virgin feed to be 'live' to be able to use it. That is, you need something like Virgin broadband running already. Even if you have an old Virgin connection, it's no good if you don't subscribe to any of their services. I doubt many of those with Sky line will be willing to pay the minimum package each month to get that Virgin line in and live.
IPTV can be decent but you have to find the right service. I've been trialing a few and the variation in quality is massive. One provider's 'HD' channel's were so obviously a stream of a stream of a stream it wasn't even SD quality in the end.
I'm sure ntl was active years ago in my area,how would I go about finding out if there was still an active cable line in the house ?

I don't have Vbroadband but all working for me.
Erm, they have ALWAYS encrypted the channels. Just that the encryption isn't as secure as Sky's "card pairing"You not think virgin are soon going to start encrypting the channels !
Have been a Sky customer before?Offered sky for 29 a month including sports (not HD), But have gotten used to that on my zgemma. Do I go back to the dark side .....
