Ha sorry about the title I cant think of the word i'm after.

basically I want to know what I need to be able to split my virgin line into two, so that one can feed my standard virgin box, and one can fit the connection on my eurovox max v. At the moment I have the virgin cable resting into the eurovox as it doesnt have the right "adapter" on the end.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the 'noobishness' of my language!

You need to buy an F-connector, they just screw on, all you need to do is cut of about quarter of an inch of the outer casing, push all the strands back, cut off the inner casing just below the end of the strands and screw the f connector on. The middle of your cable will become the pin, I an sure if you google it, if fact h**p://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/fconn.htm, also you will need a satalite cable splitter, I get them of the market for £3.

This is what you need:

2 Way Cable Splitter Ecoline+ Virgin NTL Eurovox dbox on eBay (end time 31-Dec-09 17:22:31 GMT)

Or if you need coax cable too:
2 Way Splitter Kit Cable TV Starview NTL Virgin DBox2 on eBay (end time 25-Dec-09 10:15:42 GMT)

Linscat also sells splitters too.

Thank me if ive helped!!!
