    go to maplin,
    get a splitter+split the connection,then get the lenght of cable required to run it to other room.

    It's not as simple as that. You will need the second box activated by Virgin and pay a multiroom subscription. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but the second box might not work otherwise.

  • - one of these - no cables between rooms needed

    - one of these - stick it on the end of the cable / splitter it will pick up FTA only and [ if you put a hard drive in it ] it will record programmes to play back later.

    The 'suggestions' given in post's #2 & #5 are illigal tampering & you risk disconnection of your VM services if caught.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.
