Hi,
I have 2 Tivo boxes in my house. The 2nd was fitted last week and the installer just split the cable at the first point in the house to run a new cable to this.

My question is I want to add a 3rd box of some description to the top floor of my house. An easy route would be to split the cable just before it enters the 2nd box and run the cable outside, up the wall and then into my top room.

I understand Virgin could do this quickly but a quick quote for a 3rd box seemed very expensive and the process 'seemed' simple when I looked at what the installer was doing.

Assuming that I can do this, the second part of my questions was what type of box to put up there. I had read somewhere that for around £130 I could put a [Mod Edit - box name removed] box up there. If I do, what channels could I receive (I currently subscribe to TV XL).

Any advice appreciated.
