    Has anyone else's Sky Sports channels on UPC disappeared? I've just got black screens where up to yesterday I had the channels working fine. All other channels are grand.

    My sports and my movies have all gone. It's getting ridiculous really, UPC need to sort themselves out asap. Between TV and the internet it's gone beyond a joke

    Lads, did ye get yer new viewing cards from NTL over the summer?

    Theres a strong chance UPC are changing either encryption types or messing round with the existing one.

    That could be the reason you are having issues. Id give them a call tomorrow and let them know.

    If it makes you feel any better, my Sky has been acting up the last few hours too. Must be the doomsday weather we're getting at the moment!

    There's reports of this happening from all over the country. UPC rushed through implementing the new Nagra 3 encryption to stop the "dodgy boxes" working. They did it before all paying customers got their new cards. What a company!

    My advice is to get on to them and get them to send the card to you via courier. Should have it in a day or two. Get them to knock something of your next bill also for the inconvenience.

    More details here, And as trotter has been advised to contact UPC in realation to getting his new card, I am closing this thread now as we dont want it heading off in the wrong direction now and breaking any rules.
