Same stuff, enjoy the picture quality, it p1$$es all over a Sky feed, I'm sure they have downgraded it so they can sell more HD subs, the to$$ers.

Hope your right will leave it to tomorrow before I fix the skirting,with the pause and rewind feature that you installed just thought you would need two feeds.
Anymore info welcome.

Rich, I'm sorry, but why ask for advice & then totally ignore it?
FFS, I took the trouble to double check before I posted, but obviously thats not good enough, you want more.

Did you dupe virgin in to giving you the box for free, or did you just swap the price tag in the store?

Some people are takers in this life, others are givers, with the best will in the world, no prizes to the one which guesses which one you are* 🙁

* I know I wasted my time replying to him!

No Rich, you asked for advice, I gave it, not only to the best of my knowledge, but I took the time to check on cableforum.
You then ignored it & said you would wait, just what was the point of the post to begin with? Oh I get it, ask question, ignore answer, carry on as before.

Drac, yup, BBC HD, that's it 🙁

Unfit2topost!
"Hope your right will leave it to tomorrow before I fix the skirting",

leaving it till tomorrow as I,m tired of DIY today no other reason than that, sorry I,ve wasted your time on this thread but obviously you are Mr Cable tv so will pick your brains when the tv comes and needs setting up.

Cheerio

Rich, I hope you have a nice life, I so want to go in to the reasons your response was wrong, but whats the point, I guess it's wasted anyway.

Have a good one!

Rich

V+ box has three tuners built in, and one cable feeding a signal into the box.

I might have an old cable kicking around at home that I can pop in the post for you if that would be any help...

Otherwise, don't Maplin do those connectors?
