Hi Folks,

Happy New Year to you all.

Is it possible to view "Catch up" on my Virgin Media Box, without disconnecting the KV780 Box?

Many thanks in advance

Why would it make any difference if you have another box connected as well?

I got a old cable box and starview both linked up by splitter and use the old box to watch catch up with no probs at all.

Hi Robbo,

I have disconnected the Virgin Box, to gain access to KV, and the Virgin remote control is useless without the Virgin Box.
I was hoping that there was a way to access "Catch up" via KV Box.
I have no hang up's if I don't gain access, I was just curious.

Many thanks

You need to use the Virgin Box if you watch catch up, as how else are you going to talk back to the network to tell it what you want to watch.

Coax patch leads x2 and a splitter is what you're after mate. Its what i use to keep both boxes running at same time and it works well. You can pick these up cheap from ebay.
