Multiple TV Drives

Hi!

Is there any method/platform allowing for multiple TV Drives in a house... With kids, their friends, umpteen bedrooms etc I would ideally like 2 TV Drives (I have one already) as well as the 2 standard boxes and cable modem.

I already have two feeds coming up to the house (RG6 & RG11) but the RG6 is currently redundant.

If it is possible, what are the charges involved in a 2nd TV Drive?

Many thanks
Steve

If you have too many, can you not create a new acc in someone elses (wifes / whoevers) name?

I would think they only allow so many becuase there is probably a limit to the number of boxes they can attach to the cable feed from the cab to your house.

And i doubt they would go as far as digging up the street to lay an extra cable just so you can have another extra stb.

but then the best people to ask would be telewest id think they'd be happy to supply you with another tvdrive if its feasable to do so.

Re: Multiple TV Drives

the max no. of digi boxes you can have is 3(tv drive or bog standard ) plus amodem this is simply because of signal strength you can have a second cable up to the house if you are that desperate. as for accounts im not sure how many you can have but remember that you have to physically connect to any devices that you have installed so you back to first part of the question!
