Connecting Two Boxes To One TV

[fleetingmind]

I have Virgin media and I also have a Dreambox 500. Box are fed off the Virgin box into the house. Is there a way (Splitter?) to connect them to the same TV without having to changing the cable over from box to the other.

Many thanks.

You aren't supposed to use 3rd party equipment on your VM line ;)

Dont want to talk about it to use on my VM line, but if its something that might but my Sky dish to better use then im intrested :)

It seems to be a box you can use to pick up channels from various systems but I would be intrigued to here what the OP is using it for. Until then I doubt the thread will be closed lol

I Believe its very similar to the dbox2 and various other linux style boxes that enable illegal use of cable channels please correct me if i'm wrong people

Nope from the link I just posted it does indeed look dodgy.

Shame telewest carn't 'Spike' them like they do in the movies :)

If thats what its for then im not intrested, just thought it might be useful for the dish on the side of the house instead of freesat :)

It can be used instead of a freesat box but to be honest you would probably need to find somewhere to help you set it up. The thread I linked to would be a good place to look and ask questions.

looks like they do more intresting modles as well, that have a lot more features...

Something for me to read while i wait for VM, god this on hold music drives me nuts.

Now i get what the OP is saying, he wants to split the VM feed, which means hes not been nice with it.

Cable Forum does not support any method of obtaining services without a proper subscription, and that also requires Cableco supplied STBs only.

If the OP wishes to discuss by PM that the use is legitimate we will consider reopening this thread, otherwise, for now it is closed.
