If you buy a second hand box of Ebay then you will be receiving stolen goods, because at all times the box remains the property of Virginmedia, also the box will not work as it cannot be added to your account, and its only use would be as an expensive doorstop.

Call Virgin and get a box from them that you know will work.

It will, eventually but this new tech, will hopefully cut out the current people.
