Price for extra box
 

Hi, was wondering if you could help me, at the moment we just have one v hd box, and i would like another one, i know its £5 a extra a month, but how much is it to have the extra box installed?


Thanks!

Re: Price for extra box
 

It would be £40 to have the box installed, including any new cabling required.

It would also be £49.95 to have the HD activated.

It would then be an extra £6.50 per month (price after April 1).

Thats a rip off!!! a total rip off, £90 for a extra box!!! i wanted a v box becasuse i thought it would be cheaper, i was wrong lol

It's hardly a rip-off.

£40 to have extra cabling installed is very reasonable.

You don't have to activate the HD so don't have to pay the £49.95 HD activation charge.

£6.50 to watch all of your existing channels in a different room is reasonable (when compared to Sky's multiroom charge).

Your choice. If you consider it too expensive then don't have it.

A search of this forum will find a way of extending from your existing box to another TV without the additional monthly charge but it does not allow you the facility to watch diferent programs at the same time.

On the virgin media update page it says if u dont have a HD activated box the multi sub is £10!, if its only £6.50 ill prop go ahead and get the hd active later on if i can do that

If you already have an HD-activated box, the second and subsequent boxes are £6.50 per month.

lol, thats what i thought, i called virgn media a few times today, the first person i talked to insisted it was £10 a month, then i called again a bit later, got though to another person, who then transferred us to somebody in england, and then we explained how we would really like to stay with virgin, but its a tad expensive is there any deal we can do, and they gave us a v+ box inculding install for £49, and £6.50 for extra sub
