hi there new to all this but think i know the basics,i was wanting to know if i was to put a splitter from my virgin box on the wall would it not mess things up with disconnecting it as it would be live,and was thinking for getting a eurovox as my bill each month is £100 for the tv broadband and phone,anyone any tips??? cheers all

can give a slight shock, turn everything a=of first then put splitter on, need to read up more because you can get the eurovox to work of ur cable modem and cancel tv package i believe.

£100 a f****** month!
do you watch alot of ppv porn lol
go for the 3 for £30, bit more if you want 20meg broadband
just run a splitter off the cable goin to your tv,then connect 1 end to your subbed box (need to keep it connected as it talks back) and the other to a eurovox and cancel all your tv packages

thanks for the info jimbo and ronster,

the best thing about it i dont even watch the porn ppv its just the sky sports,seneta sports and movies channel.if i was to use the eurovox would it send the channels to my subbed box?and is that new eurovox v 2008 the best one to get of fleabay?if this all works id save myself a few quid a month,the virgin installer says he could chip my broadbroad up to 20meg cause they say im only getting 2meg.any advice on this???

Now iv'e experienced the 20mg broadband service, i dont think i could ever go back.

I can download a full dvd in about 40mins. So yes i would definatly go for it mate, you wont regret it mate believe me.

Will you be doing it yourself, or buying a pre chipped one

is it a hard job to chip the broadband???

Its a bit more complicated than the boxes, have you looked in the cable modem section.

reddiesel · 26-01-08, 02:20 AM

You can get a pre patched one from lincsats nick nack shop, and interfaces etc.

How much are they,and would it cost a few quid to set it up or would i be better paying the virgin installer £75 to do it???
