i was wondering if it is possible to get an internet connection through a cable box to use a ps3/xbox 360 online. i tried with my ps3 but it didn't show a connection. i haven't tried a xbox 360 because i haven't got one yet but was planning on it since VM are offering a years free xbox live. my wireless router came with instructions showing that the router could done through a cable box so i thought it would be possible to get a direct connection from the cable box to the ps3/xbox 360. is there anything i have to do to get this to work or does it not work at all.

You can have an internet (broadband) connection from Virgin Media cable if you subscribe to the service. New customers will be supplied with a modem as connections via Set Top Box (the TV unit) are being phased out.

Does that mean those of us using the set top to connect are likely to get a modem at some point in the future?

Free? Will this mean a change in all the settings I have in place to use my wireless router?

No, just power it down, plug it into the cable modem and power it up again.
