Virgin Media box Q
 

Some guy down the st is selling 'chipped' cards (the viewing card that you stick in the box) that gets you all the channels. Is this legit or a scam, and if true as mine is cut off ATM would it still work.

Yeah, it works. They can find out and cut you off, but it usually doesn't happen for quite a while.

EDIT: Just checked and most places have managed to stop chipped cable working so it depends on your area. Make sure he shows you it working in your place before you buy.

Cheers, ill czech it out.
