YES , fit a splitter on the incoming feed , this will allow you to run both services at the same time.

Excellent, were can i buy the cheapest splitter? Im guessing once installed it will be obvious were to run this, then obviously run one o them to the back of the Eurovox!

Thanks very much!

Have a word with lincsat , Tell him you want a 2 way splitter and two lengths of cable with f connectors fitted , 1 of those cables would go to the modem and the other 2 the eurovox.

If you haven't got a eurovox yet may i suggest you buy that from him too as there are alot of problematic clones flooding the market at the moment and he would only sale you a genuine box.

splitter don't cost that much mate.

You might also need a £2 adaptor that changes the virgin media feed into an arial feed. I got one from maplins.
