hi evryone im tee from leeds, im 15 and recently my dad joined virgin media and got me internet as i needed it for my school coursework. i have a white box on the side of my room and from that there is a cable splitted in to 2. one cable is in my room and goes into my modem and the other is upstairs into my brothers room and that goes into his virgin media digital box. i have a spare virgin media digital box in my room which i got from a friend and i wanted to know if there is a way of somehow splitting the main cable line myself into 3 instead of 2 which it is now so i can use the virgin box in my room aswell. if there is could someone plz tell me how and wat i needto do it. thank you for your help.

hi
all you would need to do is split the feed again or get a 3 way splitter to replace the splitter you already have, by the way what box is it you have make and model from the sticker on the back? as it will require modding.

as locus i would get rid of the 2 way splitter and use a 3 way splitter - simple n tidy...

thanks for the reply, i havent got the virgin box at the moment as my m8 needed it back for something but my dad is interested in buying a chipped box anyway but he doesnt have a clue on which 1 to get or wat model/make on the market is the best value for money. could someone help me out and give me some suggestions on which 1 is the best to get which will cost up to £100 and is the best value for money. also if i split my cable line to 3 ways how much will it affect my connection speed and also wat cable/splitter type should i get that will minimise the loss of my connection from splitting it 3 ways and were can i get them from. my current splitter is the 1 virgin media put on and it says on it 5-1000 mhz and also -3.5dB on each side of the splitter. thanks.

You can get a eurovox or kryptview type box they are almost plug and play, have a look at lincsat in classified section he does splitters also.
If you want to mod your own box you need an unlooper and a programmer and maybe a few other items depending on what box, bare in mind that not all boxes can be done if the card has had a deactivation hit.

I think it would better for you to get one of these boxes Eurovox, Kryptview, Starview, they are easier to set up, all you’ll have to do is flash the box with right software for your area and set the net id and frequency and do a full scan for all the channels m8.
Ps: most of them are between £70 and £90.

thanks for the replies guys but which 1 box do you recommend i get and also which splitter would i need to make sure that my speed does not drop too much and that the signal on both the boxes in my house would be workin properly. my current splitter is a vocom 2 way splitter (5-1000 mhz) and is says -3.5dB on each side. also what are the chances of Virgin Media finding out that i have a chipped box in my house. is there anyway that they can find out? thanks.
