Can someone tell me please, is Psychic Private Eyes Widescreen on Zone Reality On Demand,

Cheers.

Just wondered what peoples thoughts were regarding the the acclaimed “Better” offering Virgin have given as a replacement for the old Customer Zone.

We used to get:
– 10 free prints vis photobox each and every month.
– 3 free music downloads each and every month
– Encyclopedia
– Free games
– plus a few other bits n bobs

So now we get
– Free online storage.
– 25 Free prints a month (for 12 months!)

Now can someone please tell me HOW this is bigger and better than what the old customer zone offered?!

BTW VM, Not impressed that you decided to up the cost of my package by over 10% to boot!
I dont watch 90% of the XL package.
I dont use the landline.
I only really have the package for the V+ recoring function and BB.

Freesat might be on the cards at this rate.

Rant Over

Just wondering if anyone is aware of Virgin Media getting the rest of the Zone channels, such as Zone Romantica?

i had a problem with the itv active email last night that had occured in the past.so i emailed itv customer services.before they replied,everything went back to normal and is operating perfectly again.i’m totally bemused by their reply,which reads as follows:”both the itv active and onmail now cease to exist.this is due to itv digital entering administration on 27th. march 2002.i am sorry for any inconvinience this has caused.”is my previous joke about the last person leaving forgetting to switch itv acvtive off,true ?.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I had to phone virgin 151 last week when had no internet connection at all for couple of days, was due to conflict between the Zone Alarm Security Suite and the microsoft security download KB951748.

A message on the line told me how to get around this issue, which worked.

Well done virgin.

hope someone can help me understand the background to this as i’m quite interested to know whats going on

i installed Zone Alarm after finding so trojan virii on my hard drive and set the interent security to high as suggested. eveything seemed fine for a while then i noticed a little blue warning light on the ZA icon……Mmmmmmmmm

going to check my alert log i noticed that i have over 200 entries in it in a matter of minutes and obviously panic set in………….i’m being hacked!!!!!!

i went to the grc.com web sites and got it to check my ports and shields and that looked fine. i also downloaded their “leak test” program and ZA couped with that – cool

i then examined the log file and found that the same ip address had scanned ports from 1389 to 2398 before i had noticed it. checking the ip address (62.253.162.235) i found it belonged to NTL and heres what came back……..

inetnum: 62.253.160.0 – 62.253.167.255
netname: NTL
descr: NTL Internet
descr: Winnersh Datacentre
country: GB
admin-c: NNMC1-RIPE
tech-c: COH1-RIPE
status: ASSIGNED PA
changed: hostmaster@ntli.net 20010108
source: RIPE

route: 62.252.0.0/14
descr: NTL-UK-IP-BLOCK-3
origin: AS5089
mnt-by: AS5089-MNT
changed: bob.procter@ntli.net 20010205
source: RIPE

I also found that i was unable to recieve and get emails after ZA had stopped the udp ports needed to obtain it

at the moment i have set my ZA internet security to medium but also understand that i could allow this ip to become trusted and leave my internet settings on high!

so are NTL continually scanning ports to check for illegal servers running or is this related to DHCP? i’d really appreciate it if somone can enlighten me on this subject and maybe advise on the best firewall solution/combination – black ice, za, tiny personal fw?

TIA – JaYuN

I Recently changed from USB to Ethernet connection and I just swapped over after turning off pc and rebooted it connected without a problem.

However the Zone Alarms has not reported ANY attempted intrusions since the change over. Previously it would be up to hundreds per day. Do I need to set up anything on Zone Alarms specifcally for Ethernet connection? Can anyone explain why there are no attempted intrusions anymore does it suggest that Zone alarm is not actually working?

thanks

Hiya,

Anybody seen the new Billing Zone on Telewest AD?

Personally i think this new “one bill” is going to be a disaster!

Whats the opinions of everyone else?

Thanx

Sorry if this has already been posted or is in the wrong section,

but just switched over to 149 and got the message pop up that Zone horror if free to L package viewers for the next month

just a heads up in case anyone didnt know.

Does anyone have anymore news if Zone Romantica will be added to Virgin Media as its been on Sky Digital for ages now and in really want it as it aires the young and the restless
