Just a question about v+ - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

My mum has just signed up for virgin media TV package (standard Virgin box), XL (Also the broadband and phone, both XL) althought she didn't subsribe to movies and sky sports package with it. The box is gonna be downstairs, but I want one in my bedroom, i've found a second hand Virgin v+ HD box online. I want to ''chip'' it so I can have it in my bedroom (I know someone who can do this for a small fee). What will I have to do in order to be able to watch it in my room? Will it have sky sports and movies on it assuming I get it chipped? My mum is still going to be paying her monthly fee for her box.

Thanks in advance, finally made an account after lurking around here

Cheers

Look for Konig splitters mate, I use them and they work great.

Thanks, just one last question, will I be able to use the 2nd hand card that comes with the box? Or do I have to get a new card?
