Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
I'm not disagreeing there that the Multi-Room page is confusing around the coax requirement. Doesn't change the fact that all 360 boxes need a coax connection.

Hopefully they will update it at some point when they realise. I appreciate your replies though and for clearing up the confusion.

A box not connected to coax throws up all sorts of errors in diagnostics and I'm honestly not sure how the 360 platform deals with it from a customer perspective. It's not a planned scenario.

How much would it cost to have a second box installed at the same time as time as the main TV360 for existing customers? Does it matter if the new software is installed OTA onto a V6 and wouldn't normally require an engineer visit?
Am I right to assume that the main & secondary box are included in the installation and subscription costs for new customers?
Thanks.

Virgin TV:
New customers: £30 network installation fee where QuickStart is unavailable. £10 monthly recurring service extension fee for the first box plus £5 monthly recurring service extension fee for any additional box.
Existing customers adding TV: £30 network installation fee where QuickStart is unavailable. £10 monthly recurring service extension fee for the first box plus £5 monthly recurring service extension fee for any additional box.

The £10 is for the first additional box, not the main box.
The only bundle where an additional box is included in the quoted bundle cost is the Ultimate Oomph. That's the same for new and existing customers.

I had thought that the first extra TV360 box was free on every package, thanks for explaining 
Some of those on the trial were told that there wouldn't be any price increase, but their bills subsequently went up by £10, which ties in with what you've said.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)

I'm pretty sure it tells you on the website the cost of each package.

Well, there's the RRP and the roulette wheel of retentions.

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
Isn't it typical of VM considering I've been with them and their predecessors for 20+ I have no offers for this. But a new customer can get it for same price has I am paying for my V6.

I upgraded a month ago via the web chat. they did it for £85 a month. I was only 4 months into an 18 month contract too.
Week or so later I was invited to the current V6 software upgrade to TV360 trial.
