How can I watch Virgin TV upstairs in my bedroom?

Chickenbrain2009

I want a second tv so I can watch TV in bed. I have Virgin cable and cannot get any reception locally for Freeview or radio. So a freeview box is out. I dont want freesat, can I get some sort of wireless connection so I can watch tv upstairs?:think:

if you have virgin BB you can get a free v-box from VM and put it upstairs just call them and state you have VM BB.

or a 'magic eye' works for some if you have a box downstairs already

It's OK I've found some on Amazon - presumably though it will still mean connecting the Bedroom TV Aerial input to the Main Virgin Media Cable downstairs - wil need to look into it further?

Incidently, I can't see Virgin providing a second V+ box for nothing. I've been considering their Tivo box and then keeping our current V+ box for upstairs but they will apply £49.99 fee to do so I believe?

Sorry Chickenbrain to jump on yr thread - hope you don't mind :beer:

hi john, you shouldn't need cables all over the house - that's the point of it!

I wanted it down in the basement, so I just called them and the chaps came round and installed an extra cable linked to a V box (not V+), free of charge. It's been great ever since - I don't need to record my programs in multiple rooms.

this kit is so you can change the channel on the downstairs box,while watching a feed from that box in another room.
you still need a feed to the 2nd TV

Oh dear thanks. I've ordered one now so will see what it can do when I get it. I could rig up a cable connection if that's needed but didnt really want to have to do that.
