Moving my V+ box
Hi everyone

I want to move my V+ box about 2 feet but the cable from the Virgin wall socket to the V+ box is'nt quite long enough.

Having rung Virgin CS and been informed it will cost £75 () for an engineer to come out and re-position the box, can anyone out there tell me if I can pick up a longer cable elsewhere? Is it standard coax cable? Buy online perhaps?

Thanks in advance

Glenn

hi glenn.if its only a couple of feet there shouldnt be a problem with you moving it and buying a new lead.maplins.com is your best bet. they can provide you with the proper cable.
