i have virgin media standard v box in lounge,with a splitter taking another cable
upstairs to give me my cable modem in spare room.plan was to add another splitter to modem buy suitable adaptors for tv and cross my fingers i pick up cable tv. ? what you think a non starter?
have rang virgin and they said £75 for an engineer to do the job.i guess that means 4 way splitter downstairs and just wiring upstairs-i can do that.
also rang a sat company and he said come in from loft.get a amplifier for £60,labour £50,and cable @ £1 a meter.
i do want to consider this option of going through the modem for a signal thou as it will be the easiest for me.
anyways thanks for reading.

Hi Pete and
You won't get anything from the modem cable without a Official Virgin Media box from Virgin, so forget about that option unless you are willing to pay for an extra box to mirror your main box subscription...usually £9.99 a month
Don't bother with adding another splitter via Virgin (see my first point above)
If you don't want to pay anything after installation then you are best going down the loft route.
If you want to watch the same programme as the main V-box downstairs then you could get a rf splitter and run the wire yourself to the bedroom?
