Hi all,

I am new to the forum so go easy on me!

I am currently with NTL (virgin media) in the Manchester area and was looking to add an extra cable to another room in the house so the kids can watch telly while we play on the Wii!

Anyway.... do i:

a/ Buy a Eurovox for the main telly (with the obvious benefits of all channels) and use the second (original) box in the other room

or

b/ pay the extra dosh to VM and have them install a second box?

erm.. suggestions and installation tips please

Ta

Don't have my sub box on either, so don't worry too much lol
(mind you, I got tv thrown in for nothing when I got BB & pnone)

I have been thinking about putting it in the kids room though, they've just got a loop from an analogue box lol, poor little things

Edit to say: Analogue box is not subbed
