    Hi there,

    ntl is now Virgin Media. I don't think that your box is much use since you can get an up-to-date one (for free, I think) if you are in a cable area and you sign up to their service.

    See http://allyours.virginmedia.com/websales/service.do?id=1

    If your ntl box is from the Republic then it definitely won't work as the systems are incompatible.

    If you are not in a cable area, you'll need to get a new aerial, or sign up to Sky.

    Yeah i was thinking that but wanted to try just in case

    The box pictured i had with ntl/virgin 2 years ago here in derry, i had sky movies and stuff through it and they (virgin) reckon the area i am in i wont be able to get these services which is weird cos the place i lived when i had this box is literally two minutes walk away :confused:

    Mind you according to their agents i wouldnt be able to get virgin broadband in the house (which is strange as guess where i am posting from right now)
