Default Eurovox EX1100USB - What Else Would I Need?

Im going to be buying a Eurvox off Lincsat on here.
What else would I need?

Splitter - Any certain type?
When I have the Eurovox there will be: Broadband, Tv for Virgin Box and TV for Eurovox

Coax - Any types? I dont mean the aeriel type though I know I wont have any luck with that.

Also, what about a tool that puts the ends of the coax, the F plugs or whatever they called.

Thanks in advance

If you were to buy from lincsat/me, we shall give you the f connector with it-this connects to your VM line You will only need a splitter if you wish to split the cable. If you only want to split it two ways eg: if you want another receiver in a different room, then buy a 2 way splitter, if you want three receivers, then get a three way splitter or you might be splitting from your cable modem which would add a "port". Only buy a splitter for however many devices you need as each "port" receives an equal fraction of the signal even if you're not using it.If you only need to split your signal into 2, then why get a four way splitter for example if you were to lose signal and waste money If you already have a VM line near your TV you need not worry about a splitter

Your "coax" should be the VM line from the exchange(brown/green box) Your cable will look slightly like this one but will be shielded

Thanks for the reply mate.
Basically, I want the Eurovox in my bedroom.

We have the VM cable that comes into the house, this then connects to a 2 way splitter, 1 for the broadband, 1 for the TV. The broadband and TV are in the same room as eachother. So would I need to swap that 2 way splitter for a 3 way, in order to connect the Eurovox which would be in my room.

I am looking at around 15 metres of cable to my room as well.

What deals can you do mate?

You would of course need a 3 way splitter if you want to view your Eurovox in a different room and you already have two devices on one line.You would need this eBay item:270450056112 and this eBay item:140310368284 a crimper(Maplins can crimp the ends for you for a charge probably) and if you want to tidy your line up, you need a tacker gun I believe its called(look in B&Q)
