virgin media

Hi when I lived at home I had virgin media hd and have now moved out to my own place and have got virgin media tv channels, but just the basic box. Does anyone know if it is possible to use my old hd box, to utilise the recording facilities at my new address with my new service.

many thanks

Not really answering your question, but I thought you had to give the box back at the end of the contract ?

You do,
OP,the box is VM's property &,if not returned,you get billed around £250.Plus the box wont work as it'll be blocked off.

O I dunno then not asked for it back and also I payed 75 quid for it in the first place.

Trust me,you payed £75 set up fee,not for the box.Read the T&C's here:
