The cable TV and broadband provider, Virgin Media, has gone out of the odds to lend a hand in an assault on the pirates across the north of the border in Scotland.

According to the recently posted reports the latest encryption technology is supposedly been used at Edinburgh that offers help to the cable TV company and thus aids in stopping the unauthorised usage of its set top boxes.

Also it has been recently noted that premium content is being viewed without any contracts or any prices being paid for.

The company claims it to be a very simple procedure where subscribers will be notified by an update which will be delivered to the set top boxes and this will be followed by the issuing of new set top box TV smart cards.

This measure seeks to curb those consumers who aren't accessing the content legally and for the regular users the service will not be affected at any case, thus offering a dual advantage to a user. Virgin media believes that this measure can only stop the access of any content from being accessed illegally.
