Hi All,

I'm in the process of getting my current 2mb braodband cable and original TV box to the new 10mb fibre optic cable broadband and a V+ box installed early next month, can anyone please tell me if i'll still be able to use my Starview 1 box please?

I was wondering if the fibre optic cable for the broadband will be new but the exsisting cable would still be used for the TV signal. Has anyone else got this set up and does it work?

Thanks Mick.

im not 100% on this but i think that virgin have always used fibre optic cable so it shouldnt be a problem at all

they still transmit the same way even if using a new cable ie tv and bb from the same line and then the phone seperate
