I'm wondering normally these virgin/sky providers install second connection, in the same way can we use phones to connect their website to see all the program. If possible how much will it cost.

    Sorry,
    Your post makes no sense what so ever.

    VM & Sky do not install 'second connections' at all.You need to subscribe to their services & then you can use the online facilities, if you require a multi-room subscription,then you have to pay for it.
    (Assuming that is what you are asking.)

    I thought they do install multi room connection with small cost sometimes free.

    Most of truthman007's postings make no sense whatsoever. :rotfl:

    But a Slingbox should enable him to achieve what he wants (anywhere).

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    Same as i said before to many idiots, if you don't understand don't come here to argue, just shut up your mouth and go away somewhere.

    Anyway thanks for your comments, i hope you are not change the track what we discuss here. Otherwise i would return the same back to you.

    Mr.English, never make any mistake. If you cannot understand any theories of scientist or even some basic maths or other subject, it does not mean that one not exists or false, may be there are few here will join with you like leopard and laugh. If you want understand and mean anything at least you will have some brain regarding the subject we talk about.

    VM & Sky do multi room however you have to take out a second subscription which means you get a second Set Top Box,the subscriptions are,for Sky £10 perm month per box & the same for VM,but the monthly fee is £5.
    Sky will install a TV link for £80 per room one off payment,VM do not provide this service.
    Unless you take one of the above,the is no way on earth Sky or VM will install a second TV point.
    I know because I have worked for both of them.

    i think truthman007 is referring to the skyplayer
    this would only work on your phone if you were using your home BB connection over wifi (by my understanding of it as im on VM)
    so kinda pointless if you are home anyway

    It's seldom clear what truthman007 is actually referring to.

    He appears to be a recent refugee to here from the "Praise, Vent & Warnings" sub-forum after everybody there got so sick of his deranged rantings and his personal abuse that they told him, collectively, to burger off.

    His latest tirade, hereabouts, is directed at Apple because he can't put more than 180 applications on to his iPhone. That should give you some idea of what one is dealing with.

    It might help if he junked 179 of them and settled for just one that translates things into coherent English.

    Rather than the "Give respect and take respect" maxim of his signature, what he actually needs to do is earn some respect.

    Most certainly he falls far short of the intellect necessary to be calling people in the Techie sub-forum idiots. (And, given the brainpower of some of them, that's quite a considerable, if unenviable, achievement.)

    In the meantime, he is someone who is best put on everyone here's "Ignore" list until gets bored with being ignored and goes away to rant somewhere else.

    Engaging with him only encourages him to spout yet more incoherent, manic, time-wasting, space-wasting, abusive, language-butchering rubbish.

    And if that sounds harsh, I'm only, in compliance with his signatorial exhortation, giving him the same degree of respect as gives other people.

    He's mad.

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    No. Just mad.

    Still, at least it's helped your poorly eyesight. So, some good has come of it. :)
