Hi,

I currently subscribe to Virgin digital. I am thinking to buy V+ box from ebay.

Will Virgin allow connection to V+ box when its nots bought directly from them?

Thanks
MS

    The above poster is correct, don't do it. Just get it from Virgin Media.

    I got a new V HD box and when setting up it won't work with the smartcard, you have and ask you to call up. Presumably when things won't match up and you'll be rumbled.

    Although if you already subscribe to the XL package you can get a V+ box for free
