Virgin - extra tv box possible?

**Blossomandebony** · 3rd May 2009 11:49

I'm with Virgin and would like to have the same XL channels in a further room.

I enquired to Virgin and they quoted a really high price - apparently you need an extra tv box and then rent the channels at the same, or similar price as your main tv.

I was wondering if there was any cheaper packages available, or a cheaper method of transmitting the XL channels to a different set in the house?

Or has anyone had any luck haggling with Virgin over their prices?

well thats strange as we have an additional virgin box, and simply pay a fee for the extra box, the other way is to use a "Video Sender" or similar box, some will allow the use of your original remote in another room.

Thanks, Andy.

I guess I'll get back to them and ask for their prices, (it was about 6 months ago when I inquired so maybe they're cheaper now).

What do you pay for the exra box, by the way? I could quote this to them when I ring.

I'll also check out the video sender box you suggest.

Cheers, BAE

Ok I took a V+ Box at this time its £49.00 including fitting, the old box was put into another room rental £5.00 per month, the offer is short lived.

you can get a transmitter that sends the signal from one room to the other - you have to watch the same channel though.

I bought one for £20 and you just scart lead one transmitter into your virgin (or sky in my case) box and scart lead the second into the TV in another room.

You can change channel from the other room etc.

It's good if you don't mind watching the same channel and cheap.
