You'll need to get VM to come & run a second feed from the ETB (Gray box on outside wall of house) to where you want it.You cant run it yourself as the cabling & fittings you can buy from the likes of Maplins are'nt up to the job & you'll need the signal levels checked otherwise it'll affect your other services.
Chances are tho that the box you already have is blocked & therefore useless.If it's a chipped or cloned box,be prepared to have issues with your broadband if you do & the chance of being found to have one as it'll affect other subscrbers off your tap bank in the street cabinet.

Ours is £5 a month for each other room.
Not sure if you'd have to pay for installation as we got everything set up on the same day.Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
Cheapest way is if you do not mind watching the same channel in both rooms or one room at a time, run cable from existing box yourself.Run 3 off my v+ box and no signal loss.0

You could buy a transmitter to send the signal to another TV anywhere in the house. I bought one from maplins (about £45)to send a freeview signal to our back room as there is no aerial connection in that room. The only problem with sending a virgin media signal is that you can't change channel from the other room. With a freeview signal you can.Awaiting a new sig0
