Additional V Box

Hi

I currently have a V+ box with 2 additional V boxes and broadband. I am looking to add another V box. I've seen threads that say Virgin limit you to 2 extra boxes. Is this set in stone or are they flexible on this?

Thanks

Craig

Re: Additional V Box

I could be wrong but I think the limitation on number of boxes is technical, as any more boxes degrade the signal. I'm sure one of the staff members on here will be able to confirm or deny.

Re: Additional V Box

You should be able to have 4 boxes plus a modem, my sister inlaw has 3 boxes and a modem without any issues.

I have seen more but it is quite rare.

Re: Additional V Box

Thanks for the replies guys. Glad it can be done. I had visions of having to nick one of the kids boxes back off them
