Multiple V+ Boxes
My wife is disabled and spends a lot of time in the bedroom. Can you have two V+ boxes on the same line?

Spoken to two different people at Virgin and one says yes, other says no!

Re: Multiple V+ Boxes
I believe at the moment you're restricted to one V+ box, as they are just being rolled out. Some former Telewest customers do have more than one though.

Re: Multiple V+ Boxes
to the forum!

At the moment each household is restricted to one V+HD box. In the future Virgin Media hopes to allow more than one per household.

As Andy says some former Telewest customers do have more than one V+HD box.

Some can just be funny.

It can depend on how many services you have. How long your drop cable is, how many times its been split. no good giving you a box if it wont work. Don't know how CS can tell the drop size but.

Re: Multiple V+ Boxes
Had my V+ installed today in an e-C&W area, and the installation contractor said he had installed two boxes at an address recently. (Mind you - it wasn't on the job sheet!)

Re: Multiple V+ Boxes
Didnt I read something recently about being able to access content from your TV-Drive/V+ from a standard box connected in the same house?

Really? That would be a great feature if it came to fruition.

Would be a pretty cool thing to be able to do, but there is no feature at the moment as far as I'm aware...
