Default Eurovox and Virgin box at same time?

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help with some advice…..
I have a Eurovox and I am currently with Virgin and my question is this –
Is there a way I can have both my Eurovox and the Virgin supplied box plugged in at the same time and used through the same TV?
The reason being is if I want to watch replay I can then turn off the Eurovox and vice versa.
Thanks,
Al

yea this is possible but u will need an extra scart cable, just plug it into a double scart lead or just switch em around, should be no problem

I do the same think for VOD (on demand) things

Thanks for the reply......so is that scart from Tv to eurovox.....scart from eurovox to Virgin box?
Will I need to keep unplugging the cable feed from one to the other or will the scart sort it?

I hav a 2-way splitter so the feed goes into 2 cables, 1 into Eurovox STB and 1 into Virgin STB. then u will need a scart coming out from both boxes and into ur TV. if u hav more than 1 scart connector ur in luck, if not just use 1 at a time

if you have enough scart connectors on your tv have a scart cable going from both boxes to the tv. If you dont have enough you can have 1 box connected to your tv via a rf patch lead (male to female) then tuned in to the tv. You will need a seperate cable feed for both boxes by using a splitter.

Ok.........got my splitter etc and the scart adapter and all good..................apart from the fact the volume on both boxes is so low. Xbox 360 volume is ok tho?
Any ideas?
I have the scart adapter running from tv with the virgin box, eurovox and xbox all plugged into the adapter.
