Hi, I have virgin cable and have recently gotten my hands on a free extra box, so i have opened the little white virgin box to find what i think is an adequate splitter and connected the box upstairs with a co ax satellite cable, but the tv is just showing the virgin media logo and saying wait a moment powering up!!!!!!!!! Any ideas as my missus is gonna kill me
When you say FREE box you'll find that it's just a glorified doorstop as the box/card needs to match upto the account to work. Also the box will still belong to VM so there's no way of getting VM to activate it for you..
Thanks for the quick reply, lets pretend the free box is one i have moved from downstairs with original card and one downstairs is an alternative box which is not virgin but is running fine, why wont the one upstairs run??
