Default Thinking of buying..few questions.

I'm thinking of buying a Eurovox for my room, but I do not have a virgin media box in my room. Is it simple to run a cable from my broadband wall box, across to another room, or is there a way to do it wirelessly? My room is probably around 30meters away from the broadband connection, after running the cable along the celing out of the way.

Cheers.

Thought so. So basically, I unplug the cable from my broadband connection, insert a splitter, then run 1 cable the the modem and an extremely long one to the box? Do you need a booster or does COAX not loose strenght over long distances?

Co-ax does lose signal as do splitters. So long as your signal is good to start with, you should still be OK - just make sure you use good quality cable as 30m is quite a length.
