Your posting style comes across as though you like to think that you know everything and cannot accept that, like everyone, this is impossible.

Your posting style makes you come across as crass and sarcastic, but hey we aren't all shouting about that.

P.S. I do know everything ;)

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

im assuming the mini boxes still need the coax cable and dont work via wifi or anything inherently cool? if I have a point upstairs for the existing broadband, im guessing I could use that for TV as well.

tried phoning virgin tonight but was on hold for 30 mins

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Correct. All 360 boxes still need a coax connection.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Is this installed for free for the second box Ben?

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Does the 2nd box/minibox only need coax cable to receive live tv/epg channels? If so are all the apps, catchup and boxsets available without the coax? and could you still watch BBC live via the iplayer app?
Is this the same for a second updated V6 box rather than a minibox?

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Pricing is the same as today it has been since the Summer for additional boxes. You will get a manned install for any 360 mini boxes if you need it. Covid-19 secure rules allowing.

And although some of the box features may work over the home network rather than a coax connection, Virgin Media won't supply it without a full install. A box not connected to coax throws up all sorts of errors in diagnostics and I'm honestly not sure how the 360 platform deals with it from a customer perspective. It's not a planned scenario.

What about after the end of linear television will it need coax? Asking for a friend.

So are the mini boxes different to multi-room boxes? It seems in Ireland the connection setup on their 360 Multi-view room boxes allow you to connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi as shown here: https://www.virginmedia.ie/virgintv3...-room-viewing/

Why have they gone down a different approach for the UK? Just curious by the way. As the above posts sounds like a coax cable is required for any mini boxes.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

The UK and Ireland mini boxes are exactly the same.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

I'm specifically talking about multi-room boxes that aren't connected via Coax according to their setup video guide. I think it actually states that in the quote you've posted

"MRV boxes will be connected via Wi-Fi or using a Powerline adapter if required."

Assuming MRV = Multi-room? Although they don't specifically mention 360 at the end of your quote but the link I posted mentions 360 multi-room and there isn't a mention of coax.

It's just a bit confusing that the whole video doesn't mention it needs to be connected via Coax and goes along the setup of connecting it via Ethernet or Wifi.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

'MRV 360 box' is the UK 360 Mini box. There is only one version of the 360 non-HDD box. It's the same in Ireland as it is in the UK. It requires coax.

So the setup instructions is in addition to coax, not instead of.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
 

Don't you think it should mention coax in this specific video on here though? https://www.virginmedia.ie/virgintv3...-room-viewing/

There doesn't seem to be a mention of it. There is on your link and the video posted on there, as they even show an image of the cable/splitter. But on the dedicated Multi-room viewing page, the video doesn't seem to mention it and states it uses wifi or ethenet to connect to the main 360 box. So hence the questions and confusion.
